October’s all about spooky good fun. Sometimes that fun leaves us with chills running up and down our spines and thrills that make our hair stand on end. If that’s your idea of fun, you’ll definitely want to add a visit to this haunted cave in Missouri to your to-do list this October.
The Old Haunted Belleville Cave in Joplin promises terrifying surprises around every corner, as you go underground at this annual haunted attraction that’s brimming with scary props and costumed characters.
The cave itself boasts a sordid history, once serving as a gathering spot for the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) in the early part of the 20th century. The cave became a hangout spot for local kids in later years before being auctioned off.
Today, the cave beckons those seeking Halloween thrills and spine-tingling chills. On select evenings throughout October, you can tour the haunted cave – but only after dark until midnight.
Go underground for a unique haunted adventure you can’t find anywhere else. The cave features several rooms, all dripping with creepy vibes and chilling characters ready to pop out at any moment.
After you’ve emerged above ground again, gather around a roaring bonfire, the perfect spot to warm up on a chilled October evening. You can also sit by the fire before heading into the cave.
