Watch this to get a feel for the Haunted Mine experience: 

It’s the 16th year for Missouri S&T’s one-of-a-kind Halloween tradition and fundraiser for mining engineering students.

Haunted Mine tours will be held from 6 to 11:30 p.m. Oct. 18, 19, 25, 26 and Nov. 1. The mine will also be open from 5 to 10 p.m. on Halloween, Oct. 31. The Missouri S&T Experimental Mine is located off Bridge School Road in Rolla, about 1.5 miles from campus.

Tickets are $10 for age 11 and up and $8 for children under 10, S&T students and active and veteran military (both with valid IDs).

Small children may visit from 5-6 p.m. to walk through the mine with the lights on. The cost is $5 per child.

A $2 discount will be given to each person who brings three canned goods to be donated to the Russell House, a shelter for women and children who are victims of domestic violence.
