About the application

Scuttle around in full costume to spook the guests. Jump scares are welcome, but do not be physically violent. Do not touch patrons unless it is as mundane as a tap on the shoulder. Do not scare or bother people who obviously are bothered (in not a fun way). This is a queue line position! If you are interested in being part of the trail, please reach out to Heather at Historic Hopkins Farm.
