Horseman’s Hollow at Philipsburg Manor
Philipsburn Manor is also home to Sleepy Hollow’s premiere haunted attraction for Halloween.
Horseman’s Hollow takes the tale of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow to it’s darkest extremes.
Philipsburg Manor transforms into a terrifying landscape ruled by the undead, the evil, and the insane. Visitors begin walking a haunted trail, stumbling upon scary scenes of a town driven mad by the Headless Horseman. Those who survive the trail enter the terrifying ruins of Ichabod’s Schoolhouse, where they must endure a twisted maze of horrors too terrible to describe, only to end up in the lair of the Horseman.
Heads will definitely roll…maybe even your own!
Horseman’s Hollow will return in 2019 for 16 evenings of highly entertaining haunted mayhem!
