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.

Review This Haunt
  • You need to go here!

    This is by far the best haunted attraction I have ever done. If you want a good scare this is where you need to go. It's not campy, and the actors never break character. It is definitely worth the $10 donation.

  • I peed my pants

    I really liked the trailer. IT WAS SO DARK! You had to feel your way along the walls because you couldn't see anything. People would jump out of nowhere and scream at you. I literally peed my pants!

  • it was so scary

    I loved how nice all of the workers were. How scary it was, was unbelievable. I feel like the wait time wasn't that long. It was so cool how they set it up and how different it was from all haunted woods I've been at. It was so amazing overall the scares were crazy.

  • I was terrified.

    I loved it but also was terrified the whole time. I begged for people to let me skip parts I was so scared. The actors were so good at what they did and never broke character no matter how many funny things we said. It also can be funny depending on what group you go with or the character you're being scared by.

  • Can’t beat the price Definitely recommend!

    First time going and went twice this year lol. And each time was really good they had added extra props on the second visit that was really cool! Definitely recommend it takes about a hour to get through everything give or take? And if you have a girlfriend or wife that gets scared you will laugh so hard lol!!

  • NEVER EVER BEEN DISAPPOINTED!

    I always talk this haunt up and anytime I bring someone new I'm always a little worried "what if it's not good or what if I remember it wrong" but every year they never fail. I've been 4 times and have never been disappointed. It still scares the crap out of me even after 4 years. Thank you to all the ppl that make that possible. Best haunt in Southern IL for sure.

  • 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!
