Local Sisters Encourage Peterborough to Get Spooked and Follow their Interactive Halloween Map

Two sisters, Hayley and ‘Crash’ Gilpin, have created an online map pinning noteworthy Halloween displays in and around Peterborough.

‘The Haunting of Peterborough map’ features over 200 houses and streets with Halloween displays.

The colour coded map highlights ‘spectacle houses’ with a purple ghost. ‘Spirit streets’, streets with three or more houses decorated, are highlighted with an orange ghost and black ghosts are houses decorated outside of the city but are worth the drive to see.

Hayley says when her sister Crash lived in Newcastle they did something similar, so when she moved to Peterborough this summer she wanted to recreate it.

“We drove around all month, with coffees in tow, and found all the most amazing ‘Spectacle Houses’ and ‘Spirit Streets’ that Peterborough has to offer,” said Hayley. “When we released the Halloween Map the Peterborough community was just so open and responsive, it made us feel really good to do something like this for the community.”

The pair says they will continue to add to the map until Halloween.

“We are just a couple of crazy mid age women who still love to celebrate the holidays. Especially during these times when the community needs it.”
