If you “ain’t afraid of no ghosts,” you may want to visit with a real-life ghost hunter at a historic 1845 mansion on Long Island. Led by a paranormal investigator, guests will enter a real haunted house and hear about his ghost experiences. The attraction's theme this year plays upon different phobias, such as spiders, clowns or the dark.

Will this be a good school year? Recently added to an annual Halloween festival, a clairvoyant and her staff will predict the future of Long Island kids (or adults!).

Kids can check out a not-so-scary maze with friendly costumed characters, arts and crafts and more, while those looking for a fright can take a walk through the Haunted Woods.

The holiday falls on a Thursday this year, which means parties will be popping up all over Long Island — not only on the big night, but all month long.
