Map Overview
Ghost Fort overview.png

Ghost Fort is a Valve-made King of the Hill map, released as part of the Spectral Halloween Special on October 26, 2012. It is a "haunted" version of Lakeside.

Similar to Eyeaduct and Mann Manor, Ghost Fort has spawning prizes, pumpkin bombs, and a boss.

Whenever the control point is captured, one of ten cards will be randomly chosen, and its effect bestowed upon all players.

During certain intervals, Merasmus will appear near the control point and roam around the map, teleporting around and killing players. When Merasmus is on the field, the Bombinomicon will choose two players to turn into a bomb. The goal for those players is to run the bomb back to Merasmus to stun him.

There is a bottomless, "toothed" pit where there was water in Lakeside, which kills all players who fall in and catapults their ragdoll onto the control point.

A Haunted Halloween Gift will spawn on the map for each player individually. Several notifications will appear until the player grabs the gift or it disappears.
