While you might not come across ghosts and ghouls at these isolated cabins, you will likely hear creatures that go bump in the night. Learn how to identify nocturnal creatures in our Sept/Oct 2022 issue of Cottage Life magazine, or make your skin crawl reading an original ghost story written by Lisa Moore, a Giller Prize-nominated novelist. Our lake after dark issue will help you set the mood for Halloween at your isolated cabin in the woods. So gather ’round a tube television to watch classic scary movies like The Exorcist or The Cabin in the Woods, or, if you dare, dust off your Ouija board and try communicating with the spirits.Â
