About:

NIGHTMARE FOREST, DEAD…BUT NOT FORGOTTEN The Trees at Nightmare Forest were especially quiet last year, the trail was abandoned. It looked like a ghost town with remnants of Nightmare Forest past. Was this 14-year event really gone for all the die-hard fans of Kentuckiana? Not in your worst Nightmares! The evil has been reeking; the ghosts have been lonely and want to have some more fun. Remember standing in those long lines getting scared by Freddy or the Chainsaw Guy all while watching your favorite Horror films on the giant movie screen, only to have those same movies come to life with you walking through them in the forest? Those days are back! SOME NEW STUFF: Survive the Mayan Ruins and face the headhunters yourself! Can you count all the Thirteen Ghosts? Will it be Freddy vs. Jason, or will they turn their anger on you? OLDIES BUT GOODIES: Hellraiser (Pinhead), Frankenstein, Witches, Scream, Halloween (Michael Myers), Arachnophobia, Day of the Dead and more! Remember. even the trees are scary! COME EXPERIENCE THE 15th YEAR OF FEAR, NIGHTMARE FOREST, WHERE THE MOVIES COME TO LIFE!

History:

The PhenomQuest Paranormal Investigators website states that: "Trees are widely believed to be favorite places for ghosts to dwell. Many Indian shrines are built under trees for the propitiation of the resident ghost." We at Nightmare Forest can attest to this. It is often said of the grounds that "even the trees are scary!" and we have the photos to prove it. The pictures below are of globes or “orbs” seen on film near a tree in the forest…taken by 2 different cameras! Why are the trees so haunted here at Nightmare Forest? One local legend tells us that on the south lawn near Kings Highway, and close to the south porch, there use to be a large tulip tree. Everyone use to think, when this tree was standing, that it was remarkable for its age and condition. Hollowed by the years and various repairs to extend its life, the tree had a huge hole in its trunk. Legend has it that a slave trying to escape his pursuers was caught hiding in the tree trunk. His screams are supposedly still heard, especially at Halloween. The tree was finally removed in 1998 due to age.
