The Haunted Scare Affair Returns to Battle Creek's Leila Arboretum

Imagine the moment you switch off the basement light and dash up the stairs, convinced that unseen hands are reaching for your ankles.

Or when you turn a corner in your home and catch a fleeting shadow in an empty room.

Darkness has always been humanity's oldest fear.

It transforms every whisper into a threat, every flicker into a face, every step into a chase.

Most people dread the dark.

But for some, it feels like a sanctuary... because if you can't see it, then it can't hurt you...

Right?

Each year, The Haunted Scare Affair plunges you into a new nightmare.

We twist your imagination, test your nerves, and deliver terror with a purpose.

But this year?

This year, we strip everything away.

No distractions. No illusions. No escape.

This year, we bring you fear for the sake of fear itself.

Darkness.
