Haunted Forest – Terrorfied Forest

📍: Pinckney

For 23 years, Terrorfied Forest has been the go-to haunted attraction in southeast Michigan. Since its inception, owners Marie & Byron Butler have taken over and twisted this forest to become one of the most visited haunted attractions in southeast Michigan. This haunted forest takes visitors through an almost one-mile trail to encounter creatures who have lurked through these woods for years. Ask for “Monster Repellent” for those who scare easily at the ticket booth.

Visit this forest every Thursday through Sunday through October.


Historic Howell Ghost Tours

In October, local psychic medium Dianna O’Grady takes thrill seekers on a ghost tour through the historic streets of Howell. This Ghost Tour takes visitors through the streets of downtown to experience the past come alive. Tour leader Dianna will tell stories of ghostly apparitions, shadows, and orbs, all shared by local business owners, residents, and paranormal investigators.
