Summer has ended and the harvest has been reaped, but there’s now something else creeping in those cornfields. And as Halloween approaches and the veil between the realms of the living and the dead wears thin, it’s the perfect time to hop aboard a haunted hayride to find out exactly what is creeping in the cornfield’s shadows–and the scariest haunted hayride in the country is only 2.5 hours from NYC!
Hauntworld Magazine, the world’s largest directory of haunted houses and horror attractions, has crowned Headless Horseman in Ulster Park the 8th most horrifying haunted attraction in the U.S., though when we’re talking strictly haunted hayrides, its hayride is the scariest one in the country!
And honestly, even just reading about the hayride is sending chills down our spine.
Dubbed Darkest Offering, the hayride welcomes those who dare into the town of Crow Hollow to join in on their ancient rites and festivities. The twist: the celebration has been shrouded in secrecy for centuries, and this is the first time in town history outsiders have been asked to participate. So while there’s no telling what frights you’ll come across–though we do have a feeling you’ll cross paths with the headless horseman himself–it would be rude to refuse the invitation to be an honored guest for Crow Hollow’s most sacred celebration…
Beyond the hayride there are 12 other haunted attractions at Headless Horseman to give you the creeps this Halloween. Find them all on their website.
