Join the scariest volunteer event in the Bismarck-Mandan Area!!
Haunted Fort, Mandan, North Dakota  

Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park, Party America, and the Mandan Progress Organization invite you to be an integral part of the largest haunted attraction in North Dakota!  Haunted Fort is one of the largest events hosted in any North Dakota state park. We see all ages witnessing the true terror at the Haunted Fort. Why? Fort Abraham Lincoln has long been recognized among the ranks of haunted places in North Dakota.  It provides just enough atmosphere…a retreating footstep here, a fading whisper there…to make the ever-growing sub-culture of paranormal enthusiasts emphatically declare the place to be a haven to phantoms, ghouls, spirits, lingerers-on, or any other name by which a ghost may be called.

Every October and early November at Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park’s Haunted Fort we terrify the innocent and play with the minds of hundreds of souls entering the gates of Fort Abraham Lincoln, and we want your HELP!!!
