In the cold, haunted forest, relax and enjoy the sounds of nature – like footsteps, clowns laughing, creaking cabins and chainsaws. The crisp air isn't the only part of these great outdoors that will make your skin crawl.

The Haunted Trail 

Experience the haunted trail known as Camp Fear, the newest attraction at Field of Screams Maryland. Take a 30-minute walk through the cold, dark, haunted forest and visit 13 campground stations dotting the trail. You'll recognize the playground and covered bridge from your own campground days. But the hillbillies, butchers and clowns have turned the precious campground into a dark maze of sewage and terror with bodies strewn everywhere.
