As fall approaches, so do all of the exciting events that take place this time of year. Halloween is only weeks away, which means Cincinnati and the surrounding area will be full of haunted houses and attractions. If you're looking for something a little different this year, and not too far from home, cross the border into Indiana and take a ride on the Ghost Train of Metamora. This historic train comes alive with the spirits of its past and will terrify you in the best way possible.
Fall is a beautiful time for a train ride, and it's especially picturesque along the Whitewater Valley Railroad just across the border into Indiana.
This historic railroad offers many rides, events, and excursions throughout the year. Just last year, they added one to their calendar that is sure to send chills down your spine.
The Ghost Train of Metamora will run in conjunction with the Haunted Village of Metamora, Fridays and Saturdays throughout October.
The village of Metamora will be crawling with ghosts and goblins as you walk around this typically charming town. When the sun goes down, things get even spookier as you take a hayride into town or hop aboard the ghost train.
The Ghost Train is a new feature to the event and this year promises to be even better with many improvements.
When you board the train, prepare for a 30 minute ride down the tracks along the Whitewater River and into the neighboring hills and woods. During the ride, you'll learn about the railroad's tragic past and perhaps even see a few special visitors- either from the mortal world, or elsewhere. You'll travel back in time on one of the most unique haunted attractions around.
If you plan on riding this Ghost Train, make your plans now, as the rides will sell out!
Tickets are available on the railroad's website, linked below. A few tickets will be reserved for purchase on the day of the ride, but those will go fast. Pre-sale tickets are $10 and you can choose from several rides on the evenings of October 12, 13, 19, 20, 26, and 27, 2018.
