This Haunted Trolley In Pennsylvania Will Take You Somewhere Absolutely Terrifying

Legend has it that there’s a town in Pennsylvania where the Albatwitch roam. If you’ve not heard of these creatures, they resemble Bigfoot, only in a smaller size. You have nothing to fear from these creatures that spend their time hanging out among the trees, only venturing down to hunt for food. For a single day in October, the town comes together to celebrate the legend of the Albatwitch, and the day includes a haunted trolley in Pennsylvania.

Mark your calendar for Saturday, October 8, 2022, for the annual Albatwitch Day festivities in Columbia. The daylong celebration runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Columbia River Park.

While a full menu is on tap, one of the highlights of the festival is the haunted trolley tour, which will set off at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. Tickets are limited, so purchase them early.

A ghost hunter and a historian will lead you on this spooky trek to some of Columbia’s most haunted sites. You’ll also drive down Klinesville Road, where the Albatwitch are said to feed at night.

If you prefer something a little tamer, go on a day-trip trolley tour. You’ll still learn all about the Albatwitch without the ghost stories. Trolley rides will set off every 45 minutes throughout the day.

The one-of-a-kind festival will also feature plenty of other fun, including lectures, delicious food, and live entertainment. Save time, to check out the vendors who will be on hand, too.
