On October 26th, the veil between worlds grows thin, and a mysterious gathering takes place deep in the haunted Ruschlikon woods, where the shadows dance, and the trees whisper secrets of old.

Legend has it that a reclusive woodsman lived in this very place. They say he dabbled in dark magic, seeking to bend the forces of nature to his will. As he bent, twisted and deformed the forest, so the forces of evil found a way in to our world.

The villagers grew scared, and on All Hallows Eve, under a blood moon, came to end his evil…but when they arrived to his hut, he had vanished. All that remained were cryptic symbols burned into the trees and eerie whispers on the wind. Some believe he summoned something... something that still roams these woods. Some say that whatever curse he brought to those woods lingers there still, and takes the souls of those foolish enough to venture into its path.

One by one, the villagers from that fateful day met bloody and brutal ends, each one damned to wander these woods for the blood they sought to spill that day. Now, each year on All Hallows Eve, these woods draw the brave and the foolish alike. Will you be the one to uncover the secret of the woodsman’s hut? Or will the writhing souls imprisoned in the forest claim you too?

Details:

• Date: October 26th
• Location: Forsthaus Chopfholz, Rüschlikon
• Time: 5:00 PM until either the souls of the forest claim us all, or the rising sun symbolizes our victory over evil
• Dress Code: We must deceive the forces of evil by looking like them - come in your best undead costumes!
• Limited parking is available at Parkplatz Moos, Ruschlikon - a short 10 minute walk. 
• We’ll provide food and drinks to sustain your strength, but be warned, once the clock strikes midnight, there’s no telling what will be served. Alcohol will flow freely for those who wish to dull their fear—or perhaps enhance their courage.

The woods are dark, the air thick with mystery, and we’re waiting for you… if you dare.
