16Sweet Valley Ranch is again getting into the spirit of the season, this time with their annual haunted tour known as Backwoods Terror Ranch.
The legend of Backwoods Terror Ranch begins with Dr. Frederick Surgeon. In 1895, Dr. Surgeon was fired from a plastic surgery practice in Greenwich, Connecticut. His drive to find eternal youth brought him to the North Carolina countryside, right outside of Fayetteville.
It was here that he continued his extreme medical experiments, and the Fayetteville medical community welcomed his breakthroughs in animal splicing. His Fayetteville colleagues didn't realize his experiments encompassed more than animals.
Backwoods Terror Ranch began scaring attendees in early October, but the fun continues at the ranch from Oct. 25-27, and Oct. 31-Nov. 2. Each night, the haunting experience begins at 7 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at their website at https://backwoodsterrorranch.com/tickets/
This year, Backwoods Terror Ranch will have three separate attractions.
"The Dystopian Abyss, the Haunted Trail that will leave you questioning your sanity," the website boasts, is a trail taken throughout the ranch's back woods property. A covered wagon pulled by a tractor will take attendees to the start of the trail, where the fun begins. "Lost souls" lurk in the shadows, waiting to surprise unsuspecting guests. Individual tickets to the Dystopian Abyss are $25.
The second attraction, the Slaughterhouse, showcases gory experiments conducted by the infamous Dr. Surgeon.
"This abandoned abattoir is home to a host of horrifying haunts, each more terrifying than the last," according to the website. Individual tickets for this attraction are $15.
The final attraction, and new to Backwoods Terror Ranch this year, is called the Sunnyside Asylum. Surgeon Manor, a "grand ghostly mansion," is full of ghostly surgeons and patients for guests to encounter throughout their tour. The Asylum was Dr. Surgeon's cover story for the screams coming from his property. Individual tickets for the asylum are $15.
For those wanting to partake in all three attractions, an all access pass can be purchased for $45. VIP tickets are also available for $60. VIP ticket holders get to skip the lines and head straight into the terrifying twists and turns of Sweet Valley Ranch's Backwoods Terror Ranch.
Backwoods Terror Ranch can be visited at 2990 Sunnyside School Rd. in Fayetteville. For more information about Sweet Valley Ranch and their programs, call 833-787-4368.
