Sitting upon the Headless Horseman Hayride, all one can do is grip the hay beneath for dear life. Ghosts at every turn, goblins always one step ahead, and the deafening screams of this ride disorient even the most stable of passengers.
It's no wonder how most that come to this world renowned attraction hidden in the unsuspecting Hudson River Valley question whether they will even make it out alive.
Believe it or not, beyond the borders of the Marist bubble lays the scenic Hudson River Valley region. Autumn is a time when this area comes alive, with its breathtaking fall foliage, local events, historic landmarks that are reminiscent of old America, and let's not forget the chilling Halloween attractions. Our neck of the woods is rich in culture and overflowing with fun fall activities. So put away your dancing shoes for a night and get out seeing what's going on around us, before autumn passes us all by.
The Headless Horseman Hayride, famed as the number one haunted attraction in the United States by HauntWorld Magazine, is one you cannot afford to miss. Located a mere 13 miles away in Ulster, New York, this site boasts a haunted hayride, three haunted houses and a corn maze. The hayride takes you on an interactive haunted tour of Louis Cypher's past, a mortician who is said to haunt the ride.
"I went on it last year, and had no idea it was going to be so intense and scary. I loved it though; I can't wait to bring all my housemates this year. Halloween isn't the same without a little excitement," said Colleen McEnteer, a sophomore here at Marist.
If you make it past the hayride, try the corn maze claimed to be built over the Headless Horseman's grave. If that isn't enough, give one of the three haunted houses a try. At the end of the night, this attraction is sure to whet even the most ravenous of Halloween appetites. This attraction is held every weekend through the month of October. Tickets are $25 and for more information, visit www.headlesshorseman.com.
