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.

  • Well worth it

    First time there was well worth it. No strobe lights which are a huge plus.

  • this is amazing!

    I will go back! This was absolutely phenomenal! Not joking when I say I almost passed out from getting a really good scare in the cornfield! Definitely understand why the age preferred is 10+ because this is insane!! You’re going to run, scream, and get lost (a few times or more). Completely worth it!! 20 out of 10 ! Great job to everyone that worked so hard on this. Just amazing!

  • Haunted man horse creek

    It was a great haunted trail/house the reason I give the on my three star review, is because it didn’t meet my “scare the pants off” expectations. Even though it wasn’t the best in scare the burlap sack man is real and does still lerk the back trail.

  • awesome Haunt compares to some of the big names

    If you are into hayrides, haunted trails, corn mazes, and blackout rooms, you get it all at this location! $10 but definitely should cost way more than they ask for! Definitely recommend to anyone who loves a good scare this place stands up to alot of the bigger haunted houses we go to!!!!

  • Email Verified Lots of potential

    Was really excited to try this haunt out. Great location, plenty of opportunity to scare, however fell way short. The narrator did a great job and setting up the trail and providing background to the haunt. Corn fields are always scary, many places to jump out and surprise the guests, well this didn't happen. There were not many scare actors in the corn field, what a let down. Then, a pitch dark trailer, not very scary. If I wanted to walk around in pitch dark I can go into my basement. Underwhelming to say the least but great snacks and story.
