Halloween exploring in North BC
What locations and buildings above Prince George BC are haunted? I want to go exploring for Halloween. This is the season to go out and respect the ones who have departed and maybe discover a new respect for life in this realm.

Jaime Brown
"I really enjoyed my visit here. My tour guide offered a comprehensive history of the buildings in the homestead, I was able to order a delicious lunch at the general store, and the trail next to the river made for a fun, short hike. If you like heritage sites, this location is definitely worth a visit."
James C
"Cute little homestead. I liked that they had little cards that were quick to read to give you some info, but not so much you couldn't read it all before the kids ran off. They also had some games like horseshoes, badminton, bocce, and croquet. The candy in the store was reasonably priced. There's a covered area with picnic tables which would be good for a picnic. The one thing to note is that you have to park at the top of a hill and walk down (well, you could drop people off, but someone needs to walk down). It was worth the hour or so we spent there."
