We hiked Bethel Haunted Forest October 17^th, 2023.

Fall is definitely here! The smell, sound, and sight of the colorful leaves were amazing for our senses.

The afternoon sun filtered through the trees creating an incredible site.

We found sooooo many magical mushrooms along the winding trails.

Even the old tree stumps looked surreal. 

The haunted forest used to be host to a spooky event put on by the Bethel Fire Department. The props were left in the forest for hikers and bikers to explore.

Ghosts swayed in the wind as they hung from the trees. 

Skeleton heads as well as bones were randomly placed throughout the forest. 

A few gravestones scattered themselves throughout the forest.

Finding baby dolls hanging upside down nailed to the trees was rather creepy though.

Most of the old scary buildings had seen better days. 

Hansel and Gretel apparently won the fight over the evil witch that was trying to eat them for dinner.

We even found a few random items hanging from trees. 

I would have loved to have seen the haunted forest in its prime. There are so many places for creepy characters to hide and jump out at people.

Our hiking adventure was 5 miles.
