Patty Bell is an Indian Wells real estate agent 364 days a year. On Halloween, she becomes more of a Ghost Town guide to her neighborhood community of Desert Center (approximately 20 miles east of Indian Wells). Okay, it’s only a ghost town every year on Halloween. The rest of the year it’s “one of the best kept secrets of the desert area,” according to Patty.

Their annual Harvest Festival and Halloween festivities are celebrated at Lake Tamarisk, in Desert Center, on October 31^st, and all are invited. It’s a day-long event that includes an arts and craft show, face painting, carnival booths, pumpkin carving, costume contests, movies and possibly a few ghosts.
