Our Innovative Idea

Several years ago, a group of passionate members from the Knights of Columbus embarked on a creative journey with a shared love for the eerie and a knack for humor. Their mission? To craft an attraction that would captivate a diverse audience with spine-tingling amusement. The spark of inspiration ignited when they conceptualized a Haunted Forest that would not only entertain but also spread joy.

The initial challenge was to locate the perfect setting for their ghoulish endeavor. As fortune would have it, a previously unused acre of land sat conveniently behind their Knights of Columbus hall. This secluded patch of wilderness proved to be the ideal canvas upon which they could bring their haunted dreams to life. Determined and resolute, they set out to transform this vacant lot into a realm of spooks and specters.

Inaugural preparations involved the meticulous crafting of a repertoire of phantasmal entities, from mischievous apparitions to humorous monsters lurking behind every twisted tree and comical zombies springing forth at each twist and turn. Their creative fervor knew no bounds.

In that nerve-wracking first year, a crew of dedicated volunteers eagerly awaited the arrival of their first visitors. Uncertainty hung in the air like a heavy fog. Would their haunted forest live up to its billing? As brave souls ventured into the forest, they were greeted not by spine-tingling terror, but by a symphony of spooky surprises that invoked laughter and excitement instead.

Word began to spread like wildfire about this novel attraction in northwest Indiana. Soon, the haunted forest earned its rightful place as one of Cedar Lake's most sought-after destinations. Visitors poured in from neighboring cities such as St. John, Lowell, Crown Point, and Munster, drawn by the promise of interactive thrills that combined fright and hilarity in equal measure.

Each passing year brings fresh innovation as the dedicated group of Knights continually strives to outdo themselves, ensuring that returning patrons never encounter the same scare twice. The Haunted Forest has become a beacon of delight and mirth, bringing joy to countless individuals.

We, the creators and caretakers of this beloved forest, are immensely proud to have kindled laughter and exhilaration in so many hearts. We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to welcome you to our Haunted Forest, where a unique blend of chills and chuckles awaits. Come join us for a memorable experience that promises both spine-tingling excitement and uproarious laughter.
