Haunted carriage rides...boo!

Milford — On Nov. 1, the Pike County Historical Society will once again offer horse drawn carriage rides through the streets of Milford Boro, with the focus on eerie tales and haunted happenings in some of the businesses and buildings in town. Through the years, many stories have been relayed to the staff at the Columns regarding strange occurrences’ and ghost sightings from many residents. The tour begins from their very own building, known as the Columns, where rumor has it that the ghost of Madame Peirce oversees visitors and lets her presence be known from time to time. Two volunteers recently reported creepy goings on in the Music Room as well. What or who is the cause of these experiences? Perhaps one day we will know. As the carriage departs the Columns, some places for your chilling consideration include The Pike County Sheriff’s Office and Courthouse, The Tom Quick Inn, The Judge School, The Harford House, Laurel Villa and several private residences. Salem hasn’t got anything on us! Enjoy a ride through town accompanied by a spooky historian on an autumn afternoon. Rides depart from the Columns Museum, 608 Broad St., Milford, starting at noon on Nov. 1. The cost is $25 per person and the tour lasts about 40 minutes. Reservations can be made by calling 570-296-8126. For more information about the Pike County Historic Society, please call 570-296-8126 or visit us online at www.pikecountyhistoricalsociety.org.
