Two miles past the Wingfield Fire Department in Edmonson County is a house that is not an ordinary home.

“The best part of the house is the scream room,” said Sandy Miller.

For the third year, the fire department is hosting what it calls the Haunted Hollow.

The 100-year-old home, referred to as the Hollow, sits back on a big farm and boasts nine rooms of terror, said Miller, an organizer of the haunted attraction.

“There’s chains, chainsaws and more,” she said.

Miller said the haunted attraction has a few new rooms this year, although she didn’t want to disclose all the gory goodies in them.

The house, she said, was an old home organizers took and fixed up.

Miller said new flooring was put in and the house was spooked out with several different frightening scenes, such as a bloody autopsy room, a dead room with a casket inside and an enclosed graveyard in the back of the house.

The fire department is located on Highway 1749, Miller said. She said signs will be posted for the attraction, and concessions will be sold inside the fire department while patrons are waiting for the hayride to the Hollow.

The hayride will leave from the fire department and travel about two miles to the house, she said.

“It’s a really scary haunted house,” Miller said. “I would not recommend this for small children.”

The haunted attraction is a fundraiser for the department. She said last year around $4,000 was raised during the three weekends it was open. This year they hope to raise more, especially with the addition of an extra weekend.

The attraction, which opens Friday, will be open Fridays and Saturdays through Oct. 31. It will open at dark and continue until the last person rides, Miller said.

Admission is $8 for adults and $4 for children under 12.

“We have a lot of people who work this attraction and we try to make it really good,” she said. “People can expect to get scared. I guarantee that.”

On the lighter side, several places are hosting haunted attractions that are more child-friendly such as Jellystone Park and Barren River Lake State Resort Park.

Jellystone Park’s Haunted Forest in Cave City will open its gates for four weekends starting Friday.

It is open to the public, and admission is $8 for adults and $5 for children.

In addition to the designated walking trail through the forest, there will be pumpkin carvings and costume and site decorating contests with prizes to the winners.

Barren River Lake State Resort Park is set to host its annual Halloween Spookout starting at 9 a.m. Oct. 16. There will be a wide variety of activities for registered campers, including a night hike, costume contests and pumpkin roll contests.
