Ghost tours at The Mount

The Mount -- Edith Wharton's home in Lenox -- has a series of ghost tours on Wednesdays this summer. Blurbage:

Creaking floors, slamming doors, and ghostly footsteps...The Mount's haunted history includes it all! For over a century, The Mount has been home to writers, actors, wealthy families, hardworking servants, and teenage girls. Take a special guided tour of the most haunted parts of the estate to find out who may still call The Mount home. You never know who-or what-might happen to show up!

If anything, it sounds like it could be a fun way to get a tour of the estate. The tours start at 7:30 pm on Wednesdays.

Advance tickets are required -- they're $24 / $20 for kids (not recommended for under 12). And they sell out -- both remaining dates in June are already full.

Lenox is in western Massachusetts, just about an hour's drive from Albany.
