Way back in 1985, when I was 15 years old, me and 5 of my friends used to camp out in the barns behind the farm house that is now the start of Spookywoods.  One night Chuck Passmore, one of those 5 boys was dared to enter the old house after midnight.  Chuck, being the brave one he is, took the dare and made his way up the creaky staircase.  Once he was on the second floor he started to scream and beg for help.  Micah Cox ran up the stairs to help Chuck and found out the screaming was coming from a family of bats that had made their home in the attic.  This of course scared all of us and Micah Cox screamed that house is haunted.

That started the haunted house that October in 1985.  What started out as a staff of about 10 teenage friends and was just held in the farm house has grown into a corporation with a staff of over 135 people and a good portion of our 55 acre farm.

My wife Donna and I own and operate Spookywoods Haunted Attraction along with: the Maize Adventure Corn Maze, Gem & Fossil Dig, Kersey Valley Pumpkin Patch, and NCIT. Visit www.maizeadventure.com and www.nc-it.com for more information.

We owe much of our success to the wonderful staff and actors that make it all happen when the doors open to the show. And to all the hard working people behind the scenes. But we tip our hats to those of you who urn for more than just tricking and treating as we put a little fright into your night.

Come see us!
