BerkshiresWeek
Get into the Halloween spirit
BY ELLEN SPEAR >> BerkshiresWeek
The Berkshires are made for a memorable Halloween. We’re not that far from the Leatherstocking area of New York, home of the Headless Horseman, so we come by it naturally. Dark valleys, thick woods (remember “Blair Witch Project?”) and old ancestral homes are perfect backdrops for haunting. A quirk of the calendar stretches the parties and merriment into November. We’ve assembled the highlights for a great fright night and beyond.
