While we gave you the skinny on Humboldt's multi-night haunted houses last week, we will mention that tonight is your only chance to board the haunted 1091 Ghost Ship. The decks of the 69 year old Navy vessel will be decked out with creepy decor, but the real selling point is the ship's less than wholesome history. From the promo material:
Happy Halloween! The ship is docked at the foot of Commercial Street in Eureka and will be open from 6-10 p.m. $5 is all it costs to become a permanent (oops) temporary crew member. Plenty of more frightful delights in your HalLowdown below.
