DESCRIPTION:This October\, Lyndhurst Mansion transforms into Prince Prospero’s abbey for an immersive theater experience drawn from Edgar Allan Poe’s The Masque of the Red Death. As a guest of Prospero\, you’ll move through the Gothic halls of the 1842 mansion — dressed in the garish colors and grotesque beauty of Poe’s tale — walking room to room with delight and dread as the story of the doomed revelers unfolds around you. \nPerformed and produced by the Irvington Shakespeare Company\, this feverish masquerade unfolds over an evening inside one of the Hudson Valley’s great Gothic Revival houses — a fitting stage for Poe\, and a perfect one for Halloween. \nKnow before you go: \n\nGeneral admission $45 + service fees; recommended for ages 12 and up\nSelect evenings\, October 15–30\, 6:00–9:00 PM — choose your date and entry time when you book\nAn immersive\, walk-through experience involving long periods of standing and stairs; the mansion has no elevator\nArrive 15 minutes early; check in at the Welcome Center (accessible restroom available)\nNo large bags\, backpacks\, or strollers in the mansion\nTickets are non-refundable; performances do sell out\nFor group or special-needs reservations\, call 914-303-6844 in advance\n\nWhy this is a must for Sleepy Hollow visitors: Poe and the Hudson Valley’s Gothic imagination go hand in hand\, and there are few better settings for his most feverish tale than a candlelit Lyndhurst after dark. Make an evening of it and see what else fills Halloween season in Sleepy Hollow.

SUMMARY:Peek-a-Boo (An Immersive Hudson Valley Haunt)
DESCRIPTION:Back by popular demand\, River’s Edge Theatre Company and Bethany Arts Community are teaming up for the third year in a row to remount the wildly provocative Peek-a-Boo (An Immersive Hudson Valley Haunt)\, now with new secret scenes to keep patrons coming back for more. \nWritten by Meghan Covington and directed by Jessica Irons\, Peek-A-Boo is inspired by the real Peek-a-Boo flats of Tarrytown\, NY as well as popular historical figures from the Hudson Valley Region. The Peek-a-Boo\, a popular yet controversial club located on Wildey Street in Tarrytown in the early 20th century\, was often criticized by local residents. Yet\, the flats never had a shortage of customers. \nIn this production\, patrons are invited to go back in time to the Peek-a-Boo (Bethany Arts Community) and attend a 1920’s style vaudeville/burlesque show. There they can drink the potions\, delight in the dancers\, and let their senses run wild. Once they are spellbound\, patrons can then follow characters such as Hulda the Witch\, John Andre\, and Sadie the Goat on their journeys throughout the Peek-a-boo\, learning dark secrets and scandalous confessions. Scary storytelling and immersive theatre combine to make this show the perfect Halloween experience for Hudson Valley residents and tourists alike. \n\n\n\n\n\nPatrons should note that this production is intended for mature audiences only.

SUMMARY:Spirits of Sleepy Hollow Country
DESCRIPTION:Sleepy Hollow has more ghosts than the Horseman. Two illusionists intend to get them talking.\n\n\n\nMark Clearview and Nick Wallace return to Philipsburg Manor this October with an original magic show built around the spirits of Sleepy Hollow Country — not generic stage spooks\, but the local dead. Hulda of Bohemia\, the healer the village called a witch. Major John André\, the British spy caught just down the road in Tarrytown. And the Headless Horseman\, who needs no introduction around here. \n\n\n\nThe premise is that none of them ever left\, and all of them have something to say about it. What follows is an hour’s worth of illusion delivered with real comic timing — a magic show first\, funnier more often than it is frightening\, even as the lights drop and things begin happening that shouldn’t. \n\n\n\nIt runs about 50 minutes with no intermission\, in reserved seats\, and it sells out every year. \n\n\n\nNew for 2026: premium seats ($89) now include a complimentary beer or wine and a snack. \n\n\n\nKnow before you go\n\n\n\n\nWhere: Philipsburg Manor\, 381 North Broadway\, Sleepy Hollow\, NY 10591. Overflow parking at 100 Continental Street.\n\n\n\nWhen: Fridays–Sundays\, October 2–31. Two to four performances a day depending on the date\, from mid-afternoon through 7:30 pm. Check Historic Hudson Valley’s website for exact times.\n\n\n\nRun time: About 50 minutes\, no intermission\n\n\n\nArrive early. Seating is reserved\, the show starts promptly\, and latecomers can’t be seated.\n\n\n\nTickets: Value seating $65\, standard $79\, premium $89. Historic Hudson Valley members save 15%. Advance purchase only\, no tickets sold on site.\n\n\n\nAges: Recommended for 10 and up. Expect dim lighting\, moments of suspense\, and effects designed to startle.\n\n\n\nAccessibility: Accessible seating is available by phone at 914-366-6900.\n\n\n\n\nTickets and full schedule: hudsonvalley.org or 914-366-6900

SUMMARY:An Audience with Poe
DESCRIPTION:Sip\, savor\, and shiver with Poe’s darkest tales brought to life through storytelling\, cocktails\, and confections.\nProfessional storytellers bring to life the “powerful graphic effect” that Washington Irving once praised in Edgar Allan Poe’s writing\, with haunting renditions of The Raven\, The Tell-Tale Heart\, The Black Cat\, and The Masque of the Red Death. We pair the tales with complimentary cocktails or mocktails designed to capture the spirit of the stories. \nThe evening begins in the Library at Historic Hudson Valley\, where visitors enjoy their first drink while standing among the shelves\, listening to a creepy tale. From there\, the experience deepens in an intimate theater setting\, with three more of Poe’s dark masterpieces performed in turn\, as those gathered sip drinks and enjoy small treats—indulgences to savor in the night’s shadows. \nOctober 3\, 9\, 11\, 16\, 18\, 23\, 25\, 30\n3\, 5\, 7pm \nOctober 10\, 17\, 24\, 31\n1:30\, 3:30\, 6\, 8pm \nRECOMMENDED FOR AGES 16+ \nAdvance Tickets Only. Not Sold on Site.

SUMMARY:The Lady in White
DESCRIPTION:An immersive ghost story tour at the Armour-Stiner Octagon House\, Irvington\, NY \nSome ghost stories are told about a house. This one is performed inside it. In The Lady in White\, guests move through the rooms of the Octagon House as a story written by one of the home’s own residents plays out around them. It’s based on a 1956 tale by Carl Carmer\, the American author and folklorist who lived in the house for thirty years. The story follows a young woman who lost her love when their steamboat went down on the Hudson River\, and whose spirit is said to still wait along its shores. Her mother is part of the story too\, still searching and never learning what became of her daughter. The result is a 75-minute experience that blends local legend\, live storytelling\, and the real rooms where the tale was imagined. \nAfter the performance\, guests can visit Remember You Must Die\, an exhibition drawn from Ryan Matthew Cohn’s Memento Mori collection. With objects ranging from ancient artifacts to contemporary works\, it explores how earlier generations dealt with death through art\, ritual\, remembrance\, and spiritual practice. \nA seasonal favorite at the house\, it’s a fitting stop on any October outing in Sleepy Hollow Country. Once you’ve seen it\, read the full story behind the legend in Ghosts of the Octagon House. \nDetails: Performances run for three weekends\, October 16 through November 1: Fridays and Saturdays (October 16–17\, 23–24\, and 30–31) at 4:00 pm and 5:45 pm\, and Sundays (October 18\, October 25\, and November 1) at 2:30 pm and 4:30 pm. Tickets are $58 per person and required for every guest. Because the tour often touches on 19th-century illness\, disaster\, and death\, it’s open to ages 12 and up. The route includes three flights of stairs and extended standing\, so it isn’t accessible for wheelchair users or those with limited mobility. Free on-site parking is limited\, so carpooling is encouraged\, and guests should arrive no more than 15 minutes early. Book at armourstiner.com. The house is at 45 West Clinton Avenue\, Irvington\, NY.

SUMMARY:Irving’s Legend at Sunnyside
DESCRIPTION:Hear the Legend told on Washington Irving’s own lawn.\nWashington Irving is buried a few miles up the road. Every October\, his most famous story comes back to the house where he spent his last twenty years — performed outdoors\, after dark\, on the grounds of Sunnyside. \nMaster storyteller Jonathan Kruk has been doing this for decades\, and he doesn’t recite the tale so much as inhabit it. He plays all of them: the gangly\, superstitious Ichabod Crane; the coquettish Katrina Van Tassel; swaggering Brom Bones. Jim Keyes supplies live organ music and sound effects\, and a cast of shadowy figures moves at the edge of the lantern light. Then the hoofbeats start. \nThere’s no stage\, no screen\, and no jump-scare gimmickry — just Irving’s nineteenth-century prose\, a good storyteller\, and the sound of the Hudson somewhere below you in the dark. Fifty-five minutes later you’ll understand why this one sells out every single year. \nKnow before you go\n\nWhere: Washington Irving’s Sunnyside\, 3 W Sunnyside Lane\, Irvington\, NY 10533\nWhen: Fridays–Sundays\, October 2–31. Most nights offer two or three performance times between 5 and 9 pm.\nRun time: About 55 minutes\nTickets: From $40; Historic Hudson Valley members save 15%. Advance tickets only — nothing is sold at the gate\, and dates sell out well before Halloween.\nAges: Recommended for 10 and up. It’s family-friendly\, but the period language\, the length\, and the low-light outdoor setting are a lot for younger kids.\nTerrain: Seated outdoor performance with some walking over uneven ground. Dress for a cold night by the river.\n\nTickets and full schedule: hudsonvalley.org or 914-366-6900 \nPresented by Historic Hudson Valley. \nMultiple performances per evening\, see organizer’s website for actual times.

SUMMARY:An Audience with Poe
DESCRIPTION:Sip\, savor\, and shiver with Poe’s darkest tales brought to life through storytelling\, cocktails\, and confections.\nProfessional storytellers bring to life the “powerful graphic effect” that Washington Irving once praised in Edgar Allan Poe’s writing\, with haunting renditions of The Raven\, The Tell-Tale Heart\, The Black Cat\, and The Masque of the Red Death.

SUMMARY:Spirits of Sleepy Hollow Country
DESCRIPTION:Sleepy Hollow has more ghosts than the Horseman. Two illusionists intend to get them talking.\n\n\n\nMark Clearview and Nick Wallace return to Philipsburg Manor this October with an original magic show built around the spirits of Sleepy Hollow Country — not generic stage spooks\, but the local dead. Hulda of Bohemia\, the healer the village called a witch. Major John André\, the British spy caught just down the road in Tarrytown. And the Headless Horseman\, who needs no introduction around here. \n\n\n\nThe premise is that none of them ever left\, and all of them have something to say about it.

SUMMARY:The Lady in White
DESCRIPTION:An immersive ghost story tour at the Armour-Stiner Octagon House\, Irvington\, NY \nSome ghost stories are told about a house. This one is performed inside it. In The Lady in White\, guests move through the rooms of the Octagon House as a story written by one of the home’s own residents plays out around them. It’s based on a 1956 tale by Carl Carmer\, the American author and folklorist who lived in the house for thirty years. The story follows a young woman who lost her love when their steamboat went down on the Hudson River\, and whose spirit is said to still wait along its shores. Her mother is part of the story too\, still searching and never learning what became of her daughter. The result is a 75-minute experience that blends local legend\, live storytelling\, and the real rooms where the tale was imagined. \nAfter the performance\, guests can visit Remember You Must Die\, an exhibition drawn from Ryan Matthew Cohn’s Memento Mori collection. With objects ranging from ancient artifacts to contemporary works\, it explores how earlier generations dealt with death through art\, ritual\, remembrance\, and spiritual practice. \nA seasonal favorite at the house\, it’s a fitting stop on any October outing in Sleepy Hollow Country. Once you’ve seen it\, read the full story behind the legend in Ghosts of the Octagon House. \nDetails: Performances run for three weekends\, October 16 through November 1: Fridays and Saturdays (October 16–17\, 23–24\, and 30–31) at 4:00 pm and 5:45 pm\, and Sundays (October 18\, October 25\, and November 1) at 2:30 pm and 4:30 pm. Tickets are $58 per person and required for every guest. Because the tour often touches on 19th-century illness\, disaster\, and death\, it’s open to ages 12 and up. The route includes three flights of stairs and extended standing\, so it isn’t accessible for wheelchair users or those with limited mobility. Free on-site parking is limited\, so carpooling is encouraged\, and guests should arrive no more than 15 minutes early. Book at armourstiner.com. The house is at 45 West Clinton Avenue\, Irvington\, NY.

SUMMARY:Irving’s Legend at Sunnyside
DESCRIPTION:Hear the Legend told on Washington Irving’s own lawn.\nWashington Irving is buried a few miles up the road. Every October\, his most famous story comes back to the house where he spent his last twenty years — performed outdoors\, after dark\, on the grounds of Sunnyside. \nMaster storyteller Jonathan Kruk has been doing this for decades\, and he doesn’t recite the tale so much as inhabit it. He plays all of them: the gangly\, superstitious Ichabod Crane; the coquettish Katrina Van Tassel; swaggering Brom Bones. Jim Keyes supplies live organ music and sound effects\, and a cast of shadowy figures moves at the edge of the lantern light. Then the hoofbeats start. \nThere’s no stage\, no screen\, and no jump-scare gimmickry — just Irving’s nineteenth-century prose\, a good storyteller\, and the sound of the Hudson somewhere below you in the dark. Fifty-five minutes later you’ll understand why this one sells out every single year. \nKnow before you go\n\nWhere: Washington Irving’s Sunnyside\, 3 W Sunnyside Lane\, Irvington\, NY 10533\nWhen: Fridays–Sundays\, October 2–31. Most nights offer two or three performance times between 5 and 9 pm.\nRun time: About 55 minutes\nTickets: From $40; Historic Hudson Valley members save 15%. Advance tickets only — nothing is sold at the gate\, and dates sell out well before Halloween.\nAges: Recommended for 10 and up. It’s family-friendly\, but the period language\, the length\, and the low-light outdoor setting are a lot for younger kids.\nTerrain: Seated outdoor performance with some walking over uneven ground. Dress for a cold night by the river.\n\nTickets and full schedule: hudsonvalley.org or 914-366-6900 \nPresented by Historic Hudson Valley. \nMultiple performances per evening\, see organizer’s website for actual times.

SUMMARY:Peek-a-Boo (An Immersive Hudson Valley Haunt)
DESCRIPTION:Back by popular demand\, River’s Edge Theatre Company and Bethany Arts Community are teaming up for the third year in a row to remount the wildly provocative Peek-a-Boo (An Immersive Hudson Valley Haunt)\, now with new secret scenes to keep patrons coming back for more. \nWritten by Meghan Covington and directed by Jessica Irons\, Peek-A-Boo is inspired by the real Peek-a-Boo flats of Tarrytown\, NY as well as popular historical figures from the Hudson Valley Region. The Peek-a-Boo\, a popular yet controversial club located on Wildey Street in Tarrytown in the early 20th century\, was often criticized by local residents. Yet\, the flats never had a shortage of customers. \nIn this production\, patrons are invited to go back in time to the Peek-a-Boo (Bethany Arts Community) and attend a 1920’s style vaudeville/burlesque show. There they can drink the potions\, delight in the dancers\, and let their senses run wild. Once they are spellbound\, patrons can then follow characters such as Hulda the Witch\, John Andre\, and Sadie the Goat on their journeys throughout the Peek-a-boo\, learning dark secrets and scandalous confessions. Scary storytelling and immersive theatre combine to make this show the perfect Halloween experience for Hudson Valley residents and tourists alike. \n\n\n\n\n\nPatrons should note that this production is intended for mature audiences only.

SUMMARY:Irving’s Legend at Sunnyside
DESCRIPTION:Hear the Legend told on Washington Irving’s own lawn.\nWashington Irving is buried a few miles up the road. Every October\, his most famous story comes back to the house where he spent his last twenty years — performed outdoors\, after dark\, on the grounds of Sunnyside. \nMaster storyteller Jonathan Kruk has been doing this for decades\, and he doesn’t recite the tale so much as inhabit it. He plays all of them: the gangly\, superstitious Ichabod Crane; the coquettish Katrina Van Tassel; swaggering Brom Bones. Jim Keyes supplies live organ music and sound effects\, and a cast of shadowy figures moves at the edge of the lantern light. Then the hoofbeats start. \nThere’s no stage\, no screen\, and no jump-scare gimmickry — just Irving’s nineteenth-century prose\, a good storyteller\, and the sound of the Hudson somewhere below you in the dark. Fifty-five minutes later you’ll understand why this one sells out every single year. \nKnow before you go\n\nWhere: Washington Irving’s Sunnyside\, 3 W Sunnyside Lane\, Irvington\, NY 10533\nWhen: Fridays–Sundays\, October 2–31. Most nights offer two or three performance times between 5 and 9 pm.\nRun time: About 55 minutes\nTickets: From $40; Historic Hudson Valley members save 15%. Advance tickets only — nothing is sold at the gate\, and dates sell out well before Halloween.\nAges: Recommended for 10 and up. It’s family-friendly\, but the period language\, the length\, and the low-light outdoor setting are a lot for younger kids.\nTerrain: Seated outdoor performance with some walking over uneven ground. Dress for a cold night by the river.\n\nTickets and full schedule: hudsonvalley.org or 914-366-6900 \nPresented by Historic Hudson Valley. \nMultiple performances per evening\, see organizer’s website for actual times.

SUMMARY:Masque of the Red Death at Lyndhurst
DESCRIPTION:This October\, Lyndhurst Mansion transforms into Prince Prospero’s abbey for an immersive theater experience drawn from Edgar Allan Poe’s The Masque of the Red Death. As a guest of Prospero\, you’ll move through the Gothic halls of the 1842 mansion — dressed in the garish colors and grotesque beauty of Poe’s tale — walking room to room with delight and dread as the story of the doomed revelers unfolds around you. \nPerformed and produced by the Irvington Shakespeare Company\, this feverish masquerade unfolds over an evening inside one of the Hudson Valley’s great Gothic Revival houses — a fitting stage for Poe\, and a perfect one for Halloween. \nKnow before you go: \n\nGeneral admission $45 + service fees; recommended for ages 12 and up\nSelect evenings\, October 15–30\, 6:00–9:00 PM — choose your date and entry time when you book\nAn immersive\, walk-through experience involving long periods of standing and stairs; the mansion has no elevator\nArrive 15 minutes early; check in at the Welcome Center (accessible restroom available)\nNo large bags\, backpacks\, or strollers in the mansion\nTickets are non-refundable; performances do sell out\nFor group or special-needs reservations\, call 914-303-6844 in advance\n\nWhy this is a must for Sleepy Hollow visitors: Poe and the Hudson Valley’s Gothic imagination go hand in hand\, and there are few better settings for his most feverish tale than a candlelit Lyndhurst after dark. Make an evening of it and see what else fills Halloween season in Sleepy Hollow.

SUMMARY:Peek-a-Boo (An Immersive Hudson Valley Haunt)
DESCRIPTION:Back by popular demand\, River’s Edge Theatre Company and Bethany Arts Community are teaming up for the third year in a row to remount the wildly provocative Peek-a-Boo (An Immersive Hudson Valley Haunt)\, now with new secret scenes to keep patrons coming back for more. \nWritten by Meghan Covington and directed by Jessica Irons\, Peek-A-Boo is inspired by the real Peek-a-Boo flats of Tarrytown\, NY as well as popular historical figures from the Hudson Valley Region. The Peek-a-Boo\, a popular yet controversial club located on Wildey Street in Tarrytown in the early 20th century\, was often criticized by local residents. Yet\, the flats never had a shortage of customers. \nIn this production\, patrons are invited to go back in time to the Peek-a-Boo (Bethany Arts Community) and attend a 1920’s style vaudeville/burlesque show. There they can drink the potions\, delight in the dancers\, and let their senses run wild. Once they are spellbound\, patrons can then follow characters such as Hulda the Witch\, John Andre\, and Sadie the Goat on their journeys throughout the Peek-a-boo\, learning dark secrets and scandalous confessions. Scary storytelling and immersive theatre combine to make this show the perfect Halloween experience for Hudson Valley residents and tourists alike. \n\n\n\n\n\nPatrons should note that this production is intended for mature audiences only.

SUMMARY:Sleepy Hollow Show & Tell
DESCRIPTION:You’re Dead to Me: The EULOGY edition of the Sleepy Hollow Show & Tell\nA weird and wonderful storytelling night returns to Sleepy Hollow! Now in its fifth round\, Sleepy Hollow Show & Tell brings neighbors and strangers together to share cherished objects and the stories behind them\, open-mic style\, in the cozy\, historic setting of the Hudson Valley Writers Center. This installment carries a Eulogy theme: bring a memento tied to someone (or something) you’ve said goodbye to — a beloved pet\, a departed loved one\, a chapter of your own past — along with a five-minute story to share. The theme is loose enough for creative interpretation\, but the object is the heart of it: no show-and-tell is complete without the “show.” \nSpots for storytellers are first-come\, first-served and limited to 15 presenters\, so early reservations are encouraged. Audience members are welcome too — come for an intimate evening of memory\, mirth\, and a little Sleepy Hollow magic. A pop-up shop with books and artisanal goods will also be set up outside in the Shadowbox truck (cash or Venmo).

SUMMARY:Spirits of Sleepy Hollow Country
DESCRIPTION:Sleepy Hollow has more ghosts than the Horseman. Two illusionists intend to get them talking.\n\n\n\nMark Clearview and Nick Wallace return to Philipsburg Manor this October with an original magic show built around the spirits of Sleepy Hollow Country — not generic stage spooks\, but the local dead. Hulda of Bohemia\, the healer the village called a witch. Major John André\, the British spy caught just down the road in Tarrytown. And the Headless Horseman\, who needs no introduction around here. \n\n\n\nThe premise is that none of them ever left\, and all of them have something to say about it. What follows is an hour’s worth of illusion delivered with real comic timing — a magic show first\, funnier more often than it is frightening\, even as the lights drop and things begin happening that shouldn’t. \n\n\n\nIt runs about 50 minutes with no intermission\, in reserved seats\, and it sells out every year. \n\n\n\nNew for 2026: premium seats ($89) now include a complimentary beer or wine and a snack. \n\n\n\nKnow before you go\n\n\n\n\nWhere: Philipsburg Manor\, 381 North Broadway\, Sleepy Hollow\, NY 10591. Overflow parking at 100 Continental Street.\n\n\n\nWhen: Fridays–Sundays\, October 2–31. Two to four performances a day depending on the date\, from mid-afternoon through 7:30 pm. Check Historic Hudson Valley’s website for exact times.\n\n\n\nRun time: About 50 minutes\, no intermission\n\n\n\nArrive early. Seating is reserved\, the show starts promptly\, and latecomers can’t be seated.\n\n\n\nTickets: Value seating $65\, standard $79\, premium $89. Historic Hudson Valley members save 15%. Advance purchase only\, no tickets sold on site.\n\n\n\nAges: Recommended for 10 and up. Expect dim lighting\, moments of suspense\, and effects designed to startle.\n\n\n\nAccessibility: Accessible seating is available by phone at 914-366-6900.\n\n\n\n\nTickets and full schedule: hudsonvalley.org or 914-366-6900

SUMMARY:An Audience with Poe
DESCRIPTION:Sip\, savor\, and shiver with Poe’s darkest tales brought to life through storytelling\, cocktails\, and confections.\nProfessional storytellers bring to life the “powerful graphic effect” that Washington Irving once praised in Edgar Allan Poe’s writing\, with haunting renditions of The Raven\, The Tell-Tale Heart\, The Black Cat\, and The Masque of the Red Death. We pair the tales with complimentary cocktails or mocktails designed to capture the spirit of the stories. \nThe evening begins in the Library at Historic Hudson Valley\, where visitors enjoy their first drink while standing among the shelves\, listening to a creepy tale. From there\, the experience deepens in an intimate theater setting\, with three more of Poe’s dark masterpieces performed in turn\, as those gathered sip drinks and enjoy small treats—indulgences to savor in the night’s shadows. \nOctober 3\, 9\, 11\, 16\, 18\, 23\, 25\, 30\n3\, 5\, 7pm \nOctober 10\, 17\, 24\, 31\n1:30\, 3:30\, 6\, 8pm \nRECOMMENDED FOR AGES 16+ \nAdvance Tickets Only. Not Sold on Site.

SUMMARY:The Lady in White
DESCRIPTION:An immersive ghost story tour at the Armour-Stiner Octagon House\, Irvington\, NY \nSome ghost stories are told about a house. This one is performed inside it. In The Lady in White\, guests move through the rooms of the Octagon House as a story written by one of the home’s own residents plays out around them. It’s based on a 1956 tale by Carl Carmer\, the American author and folklorist who lived in the house for thirty years. The story follows a young woman who lost her love when their steamboat went down on the Hudson River\, and whose spirit is said to still wait along its shores. Her mother is part of the story too\, still searching and never learning what became of her daughter. The result is a 75-minute experience that blends local legend\, live storytelling\, and the real rooms where the tale was imagined. \nAfter the performance\, guests can visit Remember You Must Die\, an exhibition drawn from Ryan Matthew Cohn’s Memento Mori collection. With objects ranging from ancient artifacts to contemporary works\, it explores how earlier generations dealt with death through art\, ritual\, remembrance\, and spiritual practice. \nA seasonal favorite at the house\, it’s a fitting stop on any October outing in Sleepy Hollow Country. Once you’ve seen it\, read the full story behind the legend in Ghosts of the Octagon House. \nDetails: Performances run for three weekends\, October 16 through November 1: Fridays and Saturdays (October 16–17\, 23–24\, and 30–31) at 4:00 pm and 5:45 pm\, and Sundays (October 18\, October 25\, and November 1) at 2:30 pm and 4:30 pm. Tickets are $58 per person and required for every guest. Because the tour often touches on 19th-century illness\, disaster\, and death\, it’s open to ages 12 and up. The route includes three flights of stairs and extended standing\, so it isn’t accessible for wheelchair users or those with limited mobility. Free on-site parking is limited\, so carpooling is encouraged\, and guests should arrive no more than 15 minutes early. Book at armourstiner.com. The house is at 45 West Clinton Avenue\, Irvington\, NY.
