6 nights of haunted night time walks at the iconic Maine attraction, the Desert of Maine.
Wander in Terror: 6 Nights of Halloween at the Desert of Maine
Wander in Terror turns 20 acres of glacial sand dunes and a 1800s farmhouse into a haunted trail after sunset. Come see what's lurking in the forest at night. If you're into spooky Halloween events, haunted walks, or looking for something different to do this Halloween season in Freeport, Maine, this is for you.
What to expect:
• A haunted night walk through the dunes and forest, reimagined after dark
• A new nightmare waiting around every turn along the trail
• The historic farmhouse, lit up and transformed for six nights only
• A different kind of Halloween attraction: no crowds of a big-city haunted house, just the dunes, the dark, and whatever's out there

A really fun way to spend a Halloween weekend. Still the same trails we walked with the kids last summer made it weirder. The old farmhouse scared me more than anything. Remember to wear shoes you don't mind getting sandy. The path is uneven in spots. Parking was free and easy

I went with 3 friends on a Friday and we're still talking about it. the dunes at night are so creepy. Something grabbed my attention from the left and another actor hit me from the right. I screamed way louder than I want to admit! About 50 minutes and worth the drive from Portland

Honestly, it's better than some of the bigger haunts. Being outside in the sand with no lights feel like you have nowhere to go. Our group was split on who wanted to go first. Nobody did! lol Such a great time. the staff at the gate were friendly too
