Field of Screams is a haunted house with three main attractions: Den of Darkness, Frightmare Asylum and Haunted Hayride. Three terror stories are told as you walk through the Den of Darkness, and on the way out expect to see a ferocious grizzly bear and axe-mad butcher. The four-story Frightmare Asylum is an abandoned mental institution. The place features actors playing patients and special effects. The Haunted Hayride features surround sound. Wagons ride through a bone-chilling corn field, dodging an army of the living dead.

This hidden burial ground features black and white wooden crosses and a small plot. The white crosses represent the dead white soldiers and the black crosses represent the killed black citizens that enlisted in the Civil War's 54th Massachusetts Infantry. The cemetery is not well known and the mood in the abandoned site makes for a frightening experience.

An authentic haunted house is located on this area where Lizzie Lincoln's grave has been uncovered. Lincoln was a young Jewish refugee during the First World War who came to America as an immigrant after 1920. Lizzy lived a happy life with her husband in a pleasant and wealthy house many years ago, according to local stories. But one day she discovered her husband had been having an affair with the maid. When she confronted him with the information, he pushed her down the stairs and she plummeted to her death in the house. As the story goes, you can see lights flickering and hear loud screeches and thumpings on the staircase during the night.
