Haunted Experiences
Like I’ve mentioned, haunted houses, scary movies and anything that jumps out, isn’t for me. However, for all your brave and adventurous thrill seekers, here are some haunted houses to check out. Halloween Terror Trail is located out by Pike Lake. This Halloween experience is one of a kind. Walk the 1km dimly lit walking trail and be aware for what might jump out at you!
There is also the Theatre of Madness at Centre Mall. This walk-through haunted house offers different levels of scare and has something for everyone! Head through the 6 old eerie cinemas, and remember the later it gets, the scarier it gets!
Lastly, be sure to take a short drive out to the Berry Barn and make your way to their Haunted House… if you dare! For $5 make your way through this spine-chilling haunted house. Make sure to check out the date and time here. Do you have what it takes to attempt one of these haunted houses?
