Fright at the Fort

Prospect, ME

A low-cost Halloween fundraiser haunting the granite corridors of Fort Knox State Historic Site on select October weekend nights.

Lantern shadows crawl across the cold granite of a 19th-century coastal fort as visitors thread its haunted passages and dark stairwells. The old garrison's stone bones amplify every echoing footstep and sudden lunge. A fundraiser for the Friends of Fort Knox, it stays cheap and accessible to all. Tamer daytime ghost tours and a scavenger haunt offer gentler alternatives.
