Fernbank Natural History Museum, Daily

Drawing inspiration from literature’s countless dark forests, Woodland Spirits evokes mystery, adventure and uncertainty during the Halloween season.
As you explore WildWoods and Fernbank Forest, be prepared to encounter ghostly visitors in the shadows, up in the trees, deep in the vistas, and waiting in plain sight. Although mostly undisturbed throughout history, these woods feature clues and remnants from those who’ve come before us. Perhaps their spirits never left.
