Midway Wicked Woods
114 Midway Drive, Statesville, NC
History:
Midway Wicked Woods was started over a decade ago as a weekend activity for campers spending Halloween with us at our campground. Over the next few years Halloween was our busiest fall weekend, which showed us what a big hit the weekend had become. We decided to extend the usual Halloween celebration to the last two weekends in October so we could accommodate the families wanting to come and camp with us. As the weekends continued to become more popular each year we opened the trail to the public to see if they would also enjoy the trail. Opening the trail to the public went over so well that the nights we are open, over the years grew to 15-17 nights in the past.
The Halloween weekend started with the customary costume contest and trick and treating in the campground. A few years later it grew into a hayride for two wagons full of campers in our neighbor's field full of scares. From there the trail grew as we cleared a trail in our woods so we could work on it all year in preparation for the busy Halloween weekends. We added a graveyard that now has tombstones displayed year round. The next addition was a 605ft totally dark maze with hallways only 30 inches wide. Going through the maze tells people quickly if they have issues with close spaces! We next built on site a spinning vortex tunnel, which has become a big favorite among our past patrons and is the last thing you go through as you end the trail. The tunnel is now called the Tunnel of Terror.
To stay educated we have attended the National Halloween Show held in March for 3 - 5 days each year in Chicago, since 2000, it is now in St. Louis. While there we get the opportunity to see the props in action, after which we order new pneumatic props each year. We also have the opportunity to learn more about advertising, marketing, staff issues and acting for our 40-50 actors. We attend demonstrations and classes on makeup, faux finish, and detailing which we are then able to use. In 2005 we attended for the first time, Hauntcon held in Austin TX in May, which is a 3-day seminar/trade show for haunters held by fellow haunters. Hauntcon moves around to a different location each year. We look forward each year to attending these Halloween shows along with the IAAPA show, and becoming more knowledgeable in promoting and participating in the second largest holiday in the United States, Halloween.

Woods Of Terror on Church Street
5601 North Church Street, Greensboro, NC
In 1941 during the Great Depression, many people perished from the tolls of hard times. Poverty, hunger, and anger at the world fueled emotions. Those who perished during these times were often not given a proper burial due to the lack of money. As were their bodies not laid to rest, neither were their spirits. These spirits haunted their old homes, places of employment, and city streets with an endless amount of anger. Many cities dealt with this in different ways, some just suffering through the day to day agony of things stolen by spirits, not sleeping during the night because of the insistent pacing of hallways and stairs, and the fear of how far the spirits would go to remove the living from the homes they used to own. The city of Greensboro would have had to suffer through these day to day agonies if it weren’t for a local priest. This local priest exercised and bound these spirits to a plot of land twelve miles from the city limits. This local priest, not knowing where to keep these spirits to where they could not harm anyone, bound them to a plot of land that he himself owned, on the outskirts of town. This priest was Eddie Howie McMillan , the great grandfather to Eddie Howie McLaurin.
In 1970, Father McMillan passed away and deeded this land to his great great grandson Eddie H. McLaurin, who was only four months in his mother’s womb. As you would guess for twenty years, these spirits stayed bound to this patch of land. Over his childhood and early adult years, Eddie learned what his grandfather had done, and what exactly inhabited the woods. As time passed, Eddie learned the true power of the spirits and how important it was to keep them imprisoned here. Eddie also learned how to handle and control these spirits through the Holy Spirit, which came upon him after accepting Christ as his Savior at the age of thirteen. He could not control these spirits alone, only through Jesus who controls all things. Not only did he learn to handle and control the existing spirits, he also learned how to capture other spirits that are not among the living and not among the dead, and release them into the same plot of land that his grandfather before him did. This plot of land is known as Purgatory to the spirits, and to humans, it is Woods of Terror.
I wasn’t long and Eddie knew that this land was useless and the taxes on the land were outrageously expensive. The thought came into mind to use the land as a salvage yard where people could dump the old junk they didn’t need anymore, and while Eddie charged for the dumping, he could cover the cost of the taxes on the land. A lot of different people brought a lot of different stuff out to the Woods of Terror that was useless to them and that they couldn’t use anymore. As the years went on, the spirits of Woods of Terror began to move, rearrange, and construct this junk into scenes that made them feel at home, and naturally, makes you feel uncomfortable…

When there was such a high demand for a goldendoodle puppy from their personal pet (F1 goldendoodle) they started raising F1b Mini Goldendoodles. They do not have litters as often as others because their dogs are their family pets that live in their homes. Reba, Dolly, and Daisy (F1's) live with the owners of the Harris Farm, and Rhonda (F1) live with their son.
