Halloween Carnival

Long ago, in the dense woods of Harris Field Park, a prosperous village thrived. The villagers were known for their impeccable craftsmanship, particularly their skill in building wooden structures and pallets. However, their prosperity attracted envy and greed. One fateful night, a band of marauders attacked the village, stealing their treasures and leaving destruction in their wake. In their desperate escape, the villagers fled to the heart of the forest, where they built a labyrinthine maze of pallets to hide and protect themselves.Yet, the woods were not just any ordinary forest. It was said to be cursed by an ancient spirit, the wraith of an old hermit who once lived there. As the villagers constructed their maze, they unknowingly disturbed the hermit's resting place. Angered by the intrusion, the hermit’s spirit cast a dark curse upon the maze. The villagers who entered were never seen again, and the once vibrant village fell into ruin.Now, decades later, the Blackwood Trail remains abandoned, shrouded in eerie silence and forgotten by most. But on Halloween night, when the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest, the curse reawakens. Brave souls who dare to tread the haunted trail toward the abandoned pallet jack maze are said to hear whispers of the lost villagers, see fleeting shadows, and feel a chilling presence guiding them deeper into the maze.The trail begins at the old Blackwood sign, weathered and barely legible, leading through a dense thicket where the air grows colder with each step. Along the way, visitors will encounter remnants of the village – old, decaying huts, broken tools, and eerie totems hanging from the trees. As they approach the maze, they must navigate through fog-covered paths, where ghostly figures appear and vanish in the blink of an eye.Upon reaching the maze, a towering structure of rotting wood and twisted vines, the true challenge begins. The maze is said to change shape, trapping those who enter and leading them in circles. The spirit of the hermit watches, waiting to see who can survive his wrath and find their way out before midnight. Legends say that those who manage to escape the maze will break the curse and free the spirits of the villagers, but no one has succeeded yet.Are you brave enough to face the Curse of Harris Field ParkTrail and enter the haunted pallet jack maze? Remember, once you enter, there’s no turning back. The spirits of the forest are waiting.
