\"Spooky\"\"Tony Wohlgemuth – owner of Kersey Valley Spooky Woods.\u00a0 Tony established the Kersey Valley Spooky Woods<\/a> in 1985.<\/p>\n

It all began in May just past midnight in 1985.\u00a0 During a boy\u2019s night campout in a barn a rod iron chandelier fell and stopped right above our faces.\u00a0 The power was coming from the scary abandoned farm house that was built in 1927.\u00a0 Apparently, the drop cord used for power had come unplugged and was caught by the window seal.<\/p>\n

Once we restored the power a dare was proposed by one of the boys to ascend the stairs to the second story and see what was up there.\u00a0 As the bravest one of us took the dare and made his way up the stairs. Once he reached the upper floor, he let out a scream as he stirred up a family of bats and one latched onto his back.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We always said that old farm house was haunted and after this occurrence the decision was made to create a haunted house attraction.<\/p>\n

That following October we opened up a 5-room haunted attraction inside the farm house with 10 of our friends.\u00a0 Since that humble beginning almost 40 years ago Kersey Valley Spookywoods has opened every year since.\u00a0 Kersey Valley employs over 350 people and takes up almost the entire 100-acre farm with year-round attractions that all started by a dare of teenagers scared of bats.<\/p>\n

The latest attraction is the Kersey Valley Paranormal Investigations that is based in the farm house that started it all.\u00a0 Visit https:\/\/kerseyvalley.com<\/a> \u00a0to learn more about all we do here on the farm.<\/p>\n
