Psycho Path has returned to Lintz Hall Farm in Burnopfield for its third year after the event was cancelled last year following the pandemic – and it did not disappoint.

The site is surprisingly big, with four scare attractions in total along with a ‘Stage Fright’ where spooky live performances keeps guests entertained in between the scares.

It’s creepy from the outset, pulling up to an eerie sign in the middle of nowhere as it’s beginning to turn dark is a little bizarre.

Before deciding what scare to try first, be warned, when those doors shut you have to get to the other side, they won’t let you out.

Isolation is intense and I recommend doing this first to get it out the way – I quite literally came running out screaming when a creepy character told me they would ‘cut off my blonde locks if I didn’t run’.

I kid you not, I even saw a clown drag a girl inside when she refused to enter – just as a side note they are allowed to touch you!

Outdoor maze Corn-ered only opens when the sun goes down so that you wander around the 2.5 acres of cornfields in complete darkness.

The outdoor maze gets busy very quickly so get in there as soon as you can to avoid huge queues.

Psycho Path is full of jump scares and strange characters at every turn so my advice is watch your back.
