Albany- If scares and candy aren't for you, there are other ways to spend Halloween.

Byne Memorial Baptist Church's Judgment House is a Christian alternative to haunted houses.

This year, it tells the story of a family who loses a loved one and their home in a fire.

"This time of year folks are focusing on witches and goblins and we want folks to know the truth about the Holy Ghost and about Jesus and what he can do in their lives," said Greg Ware, Minister of Students.

This is Byne's 11th annual Judgment House. It will be open Friday and Saturday. Tours begin at 7.
