How do you explain things that go bump in the night or that eerie feeling you sometimes get that makes all the hair on the back of your neck stand up?  Or those mysterious flashes you catch in your peripheral vision making you believe that you are not alone?  What about those times you're walking to your car in the dark or getting the mail from the mailbox and you know something is lurking out there waiting to pounce on you.  Your heart starts to pound and the blood races through your veins.  You can't help but quicken your pace, hold your breath, slam the door and lock it before breathing again.   Are these manifestations made up in our sub-conscious minds or are they signs from the world of the paranormal? 

October is a scary month for many reasons. One, it gets cold which is scary for me because I hate to be cold.  Two, the leaves fall off the trees leaving us with tree carcasses where once beautiful landscaping stood. And three, October brings us witches, ghost, goblins and stories from the dark side. 

Ghost stories have been a significant part of our Pocono Mountains history.  Books have been written about the haunting of our resorts, the unexplained whispering heard in the bogs and forests and the mysterious disappearance of entire families.  Folk lore or non-fiction, we may never know  if these stories are true, but if you are looking for a scary treat this Halloween join the Pocono Paranormal Research Team at Skytop Lodge for the resorts Spoo-Tacular event this weekend.   According to John Hotchkiss of the Pocono Paranormal Research team, there are certain areas of Skytop that are definitely HAUNTED.

Why not pack your bags and spend a few nights listening for the voices from beyond, searching for the ghosts of guests past or making your own haunting memories.  This is a perfect weekend for a "trip-and-treat" to the Pocono Mountains!
