Haunted History
The lanterns are lit, the boardwalk creaks, and the whispers are getting louder. Haunted History at the Folsom History Museum is back—more immersive and scarier than before—with an outdoor haunted house that drags you straight into a haunted version of 1800s Folsom.
This isn’t a generic maze slapped onto a parking lot. It’s built on story: miners who never clocked out, merchants who locked up and never left, and alleys that remember more than they should. You’ll move through vignettes ripped from Gold Rush lore—only… crooked—while actors, effects, and period details keep your nerves in a lariat.
Why it’s a must-do
• Outdoor, on-theme setting: Historic Folsom becomes the set.
• Deeper immersion: Upgraded scenes, tighter storytelling, bigger chills.
• Local twist: Folklore and museum-grade details fuel the frights.
Know before you go
• Wear closed-toe shoes (uneven surfaces add to the mood).
• Expect fog, sudden sounds, and low light—it’s deliciously creepy.
• Lines build on peak nights; buy tickets early and arrive a bit before your window.
Who will love it Date-night thrill seekers, history fans who don’t mind goosebumps, and friend groups chasing the perfect October adrenaline spike. (Families with younger kids: check guidance on intensity before booking.)
Survival tips Eat beforehand, hydrate, and keep phones pocketed inside scenes—your future self can take victory pics outside the exit.
Folsom’s past is calling. The only question is whether you’ll make it back to the present.
