👻 Enter if You Dare
It's not Halloween season until something has made you scream. Plan a visit to one of these terrifying attractions!
Woods of Terror | 5601 N. Church St, Greensboro | ~40 minutes
Named a top haunted attraction by 7 different organizations, Woods of Terror features 18 sets like The Mortuary and Brookhaven Memorial Hospital.
Pro Tip: Purchase a Fast Pass to skip the lines!
Wicked Whimsies | 6130 Yadkinville Rd, Pfafftown | ~20 minutes
Walk down a trail featuring over a dozen sets and 70+ actors — many from local high school theater groups!
Good to know: Grab a glow stick at the entrance to signal for the actors to go easy on you.
Night Corn Mazes | Various farms
Looking for less frightening fun? On select days, wander through a corn maze after dark at Armstrong Artisan Farm, The Farm Dobson, and Zane’s Clodbuster Farms.
🏡 This week's must-see homes from Leonard Ryden Burr:
Wake Forest | 3 bed, 3 bath | Mature landscaping and hardscaping create a private backyard oasis overlooking Wake Forest's practice golf course. Hardwoods, an updated kitchen, and a finished basement with a private entrance. Sold furnished!
Sherwood Forest | 3 bed, 1.5 bath | Easy one-level living in a popular neighborhood. This light-filled ranch offers a cozy fireplace with built-ins, a landscaped corner lot, and a deck overlooking a large, private backyard.
Greenbrier Farm | 4 bed, 5.5 bath | Soaring ceilings, a stunning stone fireplace, and a spa-like main-level primary suite make this home a true standout, and the finished basement is an entertainer's dream.
