Every event in town, on your site, without you lifting a finger.
Haunts watches dozens of local calendars — ICS feeds, Google Calendar, Meetup, Eventbrite, and the stubborn ones that are just a web page someone updates by hand — and turns them into a single embed for your site, an RSS feed, and a weekend roundup you can paste straight into your newsletter.
Built for Ghost, by a certified Ghost expert. Works anywhere you can paste an embed.
How it works
Point it at your sources. Walk away.
Add a library's ICS feed, a brewery's Google Calendar, a Meetup group, an Eventbrite organizer, a venue page that hasn't been redesigned since 2011. Haunts checks them all on a schedule and keeps up when they change.
- ICS feeds
- Google Calendar
- Meetup
- Eventbrite
- Plain old web pages
One embed. That's the whole install.
Paste a snippet into a Ghost page and you have a calendar. No theme surgery, no plugin, no third-party account for your readers. And it works just as happily on WordPress, Squarespace, or anything else that takes an embed.
It writes the boring half of your roundup.
Star the events you want featured. Haunts hands you a clean, formatted summary — venue, time, link — and you add the part only you can write, which is the reason anyone should go.
And an RSS feed, because of course. Pipe events into your newsletter, your Slack, or whatever automation you've rigged up.
See it live
This is a real Haunts calendar, live right now.
The events belong to Petaluma Voice, a local news site in Sonoma County, California. Their curator picks the sources; Haunts does the rest.

Pay what fits where you are.
Prices are in alpha, like the fresh coat of paint on everything else here. What won't change: there's a real free tier, and nothing jumps to $99 the moment you succeed.
