McCall's Pumpkin Patch

2 McCall Ln, Moriarty, NM 87035

HAUNTED BARN

The McCall's old cattle barn and meat processing facility have been closed for years.... however, the rumor is that neighbors have seen activity around the barn late into the night and have heard strange sounds coming from animal, human???....

HAUNTED CORN FIELD - FIELD OF SCREAMS

The past does not die easily. This haunted cornfield is tormented by the ghosts of many of Farmer McCall's victims. Their desire is to have their story heard and, unfortunately for you, that often leads to new victims joining their ranks.

Come to the farm before your scheduled haunt time or stay late to enjoy food, music, entertainment and other haunted games and attractions.

Tickets for these activities may be purchased at the farm.
