CAP Board members explained, the charge could be removed because this year is a trial year for the event being held outside.

The tour, which lasted approximately 10 minutes, wound from Grace Hall and behind the chapel, stopping at various scenes-based on the legendary ghost story of Cabrini College-along the way.

Student tour guides in costume led the tours, pausing at every different scene to read pieces of the infamous story about the estate's former owners.

Refreshments were available for the thrill-seekers before and after their tours and three Cabrini students dressed as M&M's read ghost stories and painted pumpkins with the younger children.

An equal amount of Cabrini students and local residents attended the event. However, the college students were far more scared.

Although cheers of, "Wewanna go again! We wanna go again!" rang out from the Girl Scout troupe as they arrived back after their second time through the trail, the college students could be seen running and screaming for the dorms as they exited the trail.

"I'm not afraid of anything, but the kids did a good job putting it together," said Lamar Chenault, an older teen who came to the trial run on Saturday night.

Emma Legge, director of student activities, commented about the changed event.

"Although we weren't in Xavier Hall like previous years, the students adapted well to the new environment and really put together a good event for the campus and local community," Legge said.

More than 20 students volunteered to help run the Haunted Trail, both as actors and as organizers who helped set up and clean up.

"It was a huge success thanks to the help of all the volunteers," said the head organizers of the Haunted Trail, Jen Reither and Nicole Dickinson.

"We had a great time!" Reither and Dickinson said.
