The Toledo area can be a scary place these days.
There seem to be undead walking around all over the place. And nowhere is safe. Everywhere you go, our institutions have been overtaken by ghosts and ghouls.
There are haunted prisons, haunted schools, haunted woods, haunted cornfields, even a haunted hydroelectric plant. Don't think about trying to escape, because the trains and boats are haunted, too.
So, you might as well just accept it and prepare to squeal in fear. Warm up your vocal cords, then head out to one of the area's many haunted attractions. Here are a few. Check out the listed Web sites for information about possible discounts.
