SUMMARY:Darkness: Experience CT's Witch Panic
DESCRIPTION:Step into the darkness. Step into 1647. \n\n\n\nBefore Halloween became costumes and candy\, fear could take a much darker form. \n\n\n\nEnter the world of Connecticut’s earliest European colonists and experience witchcraft beliefs\, superstition\, and fear through their own words. Seated in near-total darkness inside our newly renovated 19th-century barn\, you’ll hear the stories\, accusations\, and deeply held beliefs of a world where danger—physical and supernatural—seemed to lurk everywhere. \n\n\n\nThis is not a haunted house. It’s something more unsettling: history. \n\n\n\nDarkness is an immersive experience that explores the real fears and beliefs surrounding witchcraft in 17th-century Connecticut. The program includes mature themes and extended periods of complete darkness. \n\n\n\nPhones and other light sources are not permitted. Recommended for ages 10 and up; adult supervision is required for anyone under 18. \n\n\n\nTickets: $15  \n\n\n\nReservations required. Tickets are nonrefundable. If you need to cancel\, your ticket purchase may be converted into a donation\, and we’ll provide a donation receipt. \n\n\n\nCome experience the darker side of history.Darkness is part of Spooktober at Westport Museum\, a series of programs exploring the strange\, unsettling\, and downright chilling stories hiding in the past.Click here to explore more.
