As the calendar flips to October and Fall is settling in, it becomes the time of year for pumpkin, apple cider, and haunted houses. The town of Cape May is also getting itself ready for the Fall and Halloween season with many events going on. One event which could be great for the whole family is led by locally renowned ghost writer and psychic medium, Craig McManus. He leads you on a 90-minute walk through one of America’s oldest seaside resorts, talking about the history and hauntings over the years of some of Cape May’s houses and hotels.
At Cape May’s original haunted house, the Emlen Physick Estate, you can attend a variety of other Halloween related events. On weekend evenings, they have the tales of terror trolley rides, where guests can ride on the trolley through Cape May at night with just the flickering lantern, listening to some traditional and original spine-tingling tales. Another is open every day, and is scarecrow alley. Here you can check out many of the scarecrows made by the staff of the Emlen Physick Estate, and from many locals. You can even create your own to display.
Cape May is immediately thought of as a beach town. But unlike many other beach towns, lots of people reside here year round, therefore there are constantly events going on. Fall weather is still beautiful, as it is not too cold to enjoy the outdoors. If you’re considering doing something different for the Fall this year or just looking for a quick weekend getaway, make your trip that much better by staying at the Montreal Beach Resort. On this ocean front hotel, you are footsteps from the beach, and right in the heart of downtown Cape May. We have our restaurant Harry’s Ocean Bar and Grill here, as well as our own liquor store to enjoy some high quality and local wines, beers, and spirits. Book your stay today at the Montreal Beach Resort. Cape May is so much more than a beach town, so come for a visit and see what it’s all about.
