Haunted Hollow Trail opens gates

LAUREN CARTER, staff writer, lauren@chickashanews.com The Express-Star

— The Haunted Hollow Trail in Blanchard opened its gate Friday night for the first time.

Open from dark until 11pm (hours are flexible if busy), the trail is pretty spooky according to Ben Koone, one of the operators of the Haunted Hollow Trail.

"People will get to walk through a trail through the woods," Koone said. "It's about a quarter of a mile long, and there are several little areas people can get scared in."

Although the trail is mostly flat, Koone still suggests wearing closed toe shoes in order to prevent any injuries.

At the Haunted Hollow Trail there are several opportunities to give you a fright. A clown town, troll bridge, wrecked car scene and a cemetery will all add to the fun.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for kids. Group rates are flexible, according to Koone.

Although the trial is designed to be frightening, Koone explained it can be tweaked to fit any group.

"If there are small children, we can make different arrangements," Koone said. "We won't scare the holy Jesus out of them."

The Haunted Hollow Trail will be open Oct. 13, 19-20, 26-27 and 31. It is located at 2390 County Road 1370 Blanchard, OK 73010.

If you have any questions, contact Ben at 405-517-8670.
