The Haunting at Horse Creek
Bluford, IL 62814
- Winner - 2024 Haunt of the Year
- Nominee - 2023 Haunt of the Year
- ...and 3 more awards
Hidden away in the northeast corner of Jefferson County lurks what many haunt enthusiasts consider the most unique and genuinely frightening haunted event in Southern Illinois. Upon arrival visitors enjoy a light-hearted hayride into the surrounding dark woods, but once the wagon stops, and they disembark the mood changes. Dancing flames draw them close to hear an original ghost story inspired by area lore. When the storyteller has finished, participants are divided into groups, provided a single light, and sent on an unguided walk. Beneath the trees, the sounds of the night toy with the imagination, beasts lurk at the edge of sight, and dark figures creep ever closer. Ahead the trail promises deliverance but is that all that awaits? Experience the terror anew this October.

Had an amazing time here once again! The scare actors do a great job at timing when to jump out and their costumes are some of the best around. Overall a great time for any family

Totally worth the money! The story is original and a good set up for a great haunting! Even though I'd been before I still get lost in the mazes. Not too creepy but plenty of jump scares

Good, friendly haunted house/ trail. Scarers were very spread out. The barn was scary.

This year has defintely been the best ive seen and ive been going there for 8+ years. There is always a very good backstory on what has happened and what you need to look out for while walking the woods. If you have not been yet I defintely recommend this place. Well worth the money to.
