Oh, That's Scary! Youths Haunt Woods To Raise Funds

Westland Observer , October 28, 1982 While I'm seemingly on a Westland Halloween posting spree here's a 1982 clipping about a haunted woods trail that a teenager set up in the late 1970s. Paul Staros, then a 16-year-old John Glenn High School senior, and twenty of his friends and family members held an annual haunted woods attraction that garnered a small but loyal following. It started when his sister gave rides through the woods on a family-owned rickshaw. Staros then incorporated attractions along the path that would startle the guests. Namely monsters. The idea grew from there into an annual Halloween event. Keywords: Dave Stine, Steve Stine, 6710 Farmington Road, Steve Maciarz, Monica Staros, Matt Staros, Westland Lions Club, Doug Staros.
