Resurrection Trail
Legend has it a hex was cast on the woods of West Chicago decades ago leaving behind a great paranormal intrigue for the area. No one has set foot in the woods since 2009 when access to the forest became restricted following the disappearance of several individuals.
The West Chicago Park District recently reopened access to the forest to the public and rumor has it that local residents have already begun to hear disembodied screams as well as muffled sobbing and eerie carousel music ringing ominously into the night.
Locals claim there is a hex surrounding the haunted woods, often referred to as the “Curse of the Spooky Trail.” This urban legend has been passed down from generation to generation within the West Chicago community. Has the curse awakened once again?

Five Stars from Haunted House Chicago Preview:
“The haunted barn was very well done…just the right amount of twists and turns to keep you guessing…plenty of “scares” nothing too over the top for a younger crowd. The hayride was a blast as well, very creative and lots of surprises!”
The Haunted Barn, Curse of the Scarecrow!
The Haunted Barn is a creepy maze with twists and turns and creepy characters (live actors) around every corner. The scene is set in an old abandoned barn themed “The Curse of The Scarecrow”; he’s on the loose inside the barn and out for revenge! The Scarecrow is joined by many of his sinister cohorts and they just can’t wait to meet you!
The Haunted Barn is great for kids over 12 & up and any adult who loves a good scare!
