haunted trails
Ghost-filled forest routes
Haunted trails are outdoor walking paths set up with spooky decorations, costumed performers, and staged scares, typically operating around Halloween.
Unlike haunted houses, they wind through woods or fields, using darkness and natural terrain to heighten the atmosphere: The haunted trail had chainsaw-wielding actors hiding behind every tree.
Many farms and community organizations run them as seasonal attractions.
