Halloween tour in Wijgmaal

In true American tradition, we decided to go on a Halloween walk with the kids so on October 25, we (5 adults and 9 kids) went to neighboring town Wijgmaal.

We were supposed to make reservations (which was not mentioned on the flier) and since we hadn't we couldn't participate on any of the tours, except on the 10pm one. Way too late for our small kids.
Since these kind of tours are leading through local meadows, forests and downtown, we would be walking mostly on "public" property rather than private property, so we just started on a tour by ourselves (without paying).

We did make it a point though not to accept any soup and snacks during the walk (which are offered to the paying participants).

The walk goes as follows:
- you follow a path marked by tea lights and/or arrows.
- The path starts downtown but then leads you through 'it looks like' swamps. Not really swamps but a werewolf told us it is and because of the soggy pathways the kids really believed it (and screamed because they came too close to the swamp and they were afraid they were going to be taken by swamp spirits or something).
- The path went by a graveyard. There was a coffin with scary music and smog and someone in the coffin stuck his hand out. He apparently came out as well but I never saw that since Mendel pulled me away too quickly.
- Then we had to walk next to a corn field (of course people in there were running by scaring us), it was almost pitch dark at this point - no tea lights.
- At one point there were 2 withes and a wizard singing songs (really good)
- It ended with a skeleton playing the piano in a very nice park (a bit creepy at night because of all the old buildings and statues).

We walked for about an hour before the tour was over. The kids were very scared at times but they also had fun.
At one point during the tour we told some of the performers that we were a non-paying group and that was why we were not accepting food/drinks, but they decided to tell us a story anyway and directed us to the next stop. Phew ...

It was FUN !!!!
