Murder, mystery, ghosts and secrets will descend upon Merrill House for
a week of hauntings worthy of a great Gothic Revival house.
October 25th to 31st
A murder mystery set in the house’s vintage, 1878, will accompany every dinner at Merrill House. Judge Merrill and his houseguests will come to life, and death, in this perplexing mystery. With every course, you will receive another clue, bringing you closer to unveiling the murderer. All those successful in identifying the Victorian killer will be entered for a chance to win a night in Merrill’s Haunted Room.
Every room at Merrill House will be haunted by a ghost from Halloweens past. Although the ghost may not be much of a nuisance, it will be the guests’ responsibility to identify the unwanted dweller and vanquish it forever. Clues to the ghost’s identity will be scattered throughout the room. Should you be successful in identifying their ghost, they will also be entered for a chance to win a night in Merrill’s Haunted Room.
Still not enough haunting for you? Merrill will be offering terrifying virtual reality experiences, piles of chocolates and sweets as well as a costume contest! Book your table and room now to immerse yourself in our week of hauntings.
