Halloween in Langley is heavy on ghostly experiences, although you can lace up your dancing shoes for some fun without fright.

Grave Tales - Fort Langley Historic Site

Scare rating: 🎃🎃

Ages: Eight and above

The Fort Langley National Historic Site has seen its share of ghosts, and visitors will get a chance to learn more about those spooky apparitions at the site’s annual Grave Tales tour. The after dark tour features two or three hours of spine chilling stories and a guided walk through the site. Although some of the experience is of the “bump in the night” variety, many of the stories are tales of real Fort Langley residents who are buried nearby. (You can read our 2022 story about one of those ghosts here.)

The tours are offered Fridays to Sundays, with varying degrees of spook. The youth edition runs from 6 to 8pm on Saturdays and Sundays, while the two-hour adults edition is from 7 to 9pm and 8 to 10pm Friday to Sunday. The three-hour tour goes from 9pm to midnight Fridays to Sundays. Advance booking is required, and the tours run until early November.
