This is the time of year when we all start looking forward to pumpkins, corn mazes, haunted houses, and all things Halloween. One Nebraska town does haunting better than anyone else – and we’re not talking about our many ghost towns. Brule, in Keith County, goes all-out for a limited engagement experience at the end of October…and it’s frightfully fun.
Every October, the entire town of Brule is taken over by spirits, zombies, murderers, and various nightmarish characters.

When we say the entire town is in on it, we mean the entire town. This is the only place in the U.S. where the whole town participates in a yearly haunted attraction.

Volunteers come together to create an immersive experience that will delight even the most seasoned haunted house enthusiast. The attraction only runs for a few nights every year, and a great deal of care is put into making the attraction - and the actors - suitably scary.

You can also choose to take Coach Slappy’s Bus Ride where you’ll encounter the spirits of students who refuse to pass on, or visit the park for the Lost Soul Train Ride.
