Get Ready For Fright Night At The Old Baker’s Creek Haunted Trail

Are you brave enough to go into the woods? That's the question that A Better Hatfield is asking this Halloween. For one night only, they're hosting the Old Baker's Creek Haunted Trail and you're invited to embark on a terrifying journey . . . if you dare!

For those of you familiar with Spencer County, you know that Baker's Creek runs through it and empties into the Ohio River. This year's haunted trail sends you alongside some of that landscape and the atmosphere is ideal for some spine-tingling Halloween scares. Mary Howell, who's been involved with the planning of this year's haunt, says, "The creek looks like Friday the 13th."

Organizers promise some nods to some of classic horror films like The Exorcist, Slender Man, and more. Volunteers have even built a cemetery in the woods. Mary, who tested out the haunted trail in the daylight says, "It's scary as crap during the day. I can't imagine what it's going to be like at night."

On Saturday, October 25th, the Old Baker's Creek Haunted Trail will open right after the Halloween Trunk or Treat concludes.

Yes! For the kids who aren't quite brave enough to head out onto the haunted trail, there's a fun trunk or treat scheduled.

Among the games being played- a blow-up spider ring toss, a lucky ducky game, and a Pin the Nose on the Pumpkin challenge.

And, Mary made sure to give a shout out to the apple fritters. There's a reason they're specifically listed on the event flier. The fritters are made by Carolyn McGinnis and, apparently, they are Spencer County-famous! If you know, you know.

All proceeds raised from both events will benefit A Better Hatfield. The nonprofit works to assist their friends and neighbors in need. According to Mary, "All proceeds help with the community." Some of those projects include helping residents with yards, helping cut down trees, and providing food baskets at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Of course, this year, they're also providing some new chills and thrills for Halloween!
