Blog # 8

So I read the first few blogs posted and I'm not gonna lie, they depressed me a bit. I though I could write something cheerful, but alas my news isn't all cheerful. On Saturday night my friends invited me to go to a corn maze and I was like, "I'm so there!"  Before I left to meet them for dinner I look up Exploration Acres online to get a feel for where I would be that night. I found out that this was a haunted corn maze and I don't normally do haunted scary things. It's not something I enjoy. However, I really wanted to get off campus, be outside in nature, and get in the Halloween spirit. So I went. When we got there we discovered it cost more that we had planned on to get into the maze, so that was a bummer. Also, there was a second group that was going to meet us there that didn't arrive for another hour or so after we had gotten there. While we waited we took a hay ride and wandered through the kiddy mazes. Did you know that if you keep your right hand touching the corn at all times you will find your way out? We only tried this once in the kiddy maze, but it worked!We had to wait in a long line for the Haunted Maze and we froze while we waited. Well, not froze, but it was chilly. My first scare of the night was when a guy dressed in a creepy wolf costume sneaked up behind me and my friend acknowledged him, I looked behind me and screamed! It was horrible. When we finally reached the front we discovered we couldn't use the lights on our phones while in the maze and that we had to split into a smaller group. My friend Rachel in my group was so scared the entire time I felt so bad, but it also made me less scared because I was looking out for her. I hope that makes sense. But the very first thing we encountered in the maze was the scariest. There were four strobe lights on the ground and as we approached we noticed nothing was there. Oh were we wrong! All of a sudden this guy wearing a gas mask appeared and we all freaked out! Then the wolf came back and we made friends with him and discovered he had made his costume. We experienced a man in a chicken costume, ghosts, camo men, faceless men, and people dressed in all black. It was scary, but not too scary and I had so much fun!
