MORE 2026 HAUNTS TO WATCH

Several smaller community attractions announce their schedules later in September or primarily through social media, so additional haunted houses and trails may still be added as Halloween approaches.

If you're planning a road trip, always check the attraction's website or social media before leaving. Outdoor haunted trails and farms may close because of severe weather, while popular attractions can sell out particular time slots.

From haunted hospitals and abandoned prisons to cornfields, forests, farms and amusement parks, there are plenty of places across West Virginia, Southern Ohio, Eastern Kentucky, and the Mid-Ohio Valley to test just how brave you really are this Halloween.
