Halloween at the Junkins Haunted Estate in Kittery KITTERY The Junkins Haunted Estate will be open for their 30th year. This has been quite a journey and a lot of fun but 2017 will be the last year for the 'swamp walk.' However, decorating the front lawns is expected for years to come! Junkins Estate is the largest non-commercial (free) Halloween home haunt event in New England and just maybe the country. Over 2,000 people from all over the Northeast come each year to stroll through the old family
estate located at 87 Wilson Road Kittery. Over two acres of Halloween decorations await guests. Don't let the warm fuzzy kiddy decorations from the safety of your car fool you, if you want the candy it's a quarter-mile through the haunted swamp! As you follow the luminaries towards the woods and cross the bridge into the swamp, the darkness will surround you and the cold swamp air will chill you to your bones... oh, and by the way, they will be waiting for you!
Admission is as always, free (donations are graciously excepted to defray the cost of electric bill!) Remaining dates for 2017: October 27-31, about 6:30-9 p.m. weather permitting. Special nonscary time for the little ones will be October 30 from 5-6 p.m. Families are welcome and all children 18 and younger must be accompanied by an adult. More information, photos and videos on Facebook page - "Junkins Haunted Estate."

Poison Control Warns of Halloween Hazards Adulterated candy isn’t the only hazard that kids face on Halloween, according to the California Poison Control System (CPCS). Keep them safe this Halloween with these 10 tips. Glow-in-the-dark jewelry and glow sticks are used by parents to keep their children visible while trick-or-treating. Children may break open these glow sticks getting the liquid on their hands and in their mouths which can be mildly irritating to the skin or eyes but is not likely to cause harm if a small amount is ingested. Children should not eat
treats until they return home and all items have been inspected by an adult. Torn, loose or punctured wrapping may be a sign of tampering which should be reported to the police. Limit the amount of candy ingested at one time. Too much candy can cause stomach discomfort, and sugars and other sweeteners can act as laxatives when consumed in large amounts. If a child brings home a brand of candy that is not familiar, throw it away. Some imported candies have high levels of lead that can be harmful. Candy that is unwrapped
