It's been more than 75 years since Clarence disappeared into the depths of Hagan Park, but the lost souls that inhabit the Horror Trail are all too aware of his presence. The shadow of the man looms over what was already a grim place, even though the tale of his axe-murdering spree is a wound on the area's history that has long since scarred over. But there's other things to worry about. Visitors find themselves inevitably drawn into the woods, following the cries of what they are certain could be their loved ones. Some think the cemetery is the source of strange lights that can sometimes be seen by passersby. And, worst of all, others still think they can hear the rhythmic scrape of a whetstone on Clarence's axe.

Spine-tingling chills begin as soon as visitors enter Hysterium Haunted Asylum's clinical waiting room and fall under the gaze of the facility's head nurse. Once groups enter the asylum, they find themselves navigating a macabre maze filled with darkened hallways and gory scenes. Plenty of costumed inmates lurk in the shadows along the way, awaiting the perfect opportunity to give passersby a good scare.

The haunting doesn't end with Halloween though. For a limited time each winter, the asylum transforms into a gruesome, Christmas-themed experience. The mythological Krampus stalks visitors as they shuffle past mischievous elves and a familiar cast of devious inmates.
