Beyond the gate.
Some rows were never meant to be harvested.
Find out what waits on the other side.
The Haunted Forest at Buford Corn Maze
I · The threshold
A small door.
A very long way back.
A skull watches from the peak of a little shack. Corn leans against its walls. Tall bamboo frames a weathered door.
It looks too small to hold a nightmare.
Then you step into the fog.
Think of that first room as a doorway into the legend. The familiar world slips away. Somewhere beyond the fog, the Reaping begins.
II · Before you cross
The 13th Row
Survival Guide

III · The extra row
Some rows were never
meant to be harvested.
The field should have ended at twelve rows. One farmhand discovered a thirteenth—one nobody remembered planting. He stepped inside. By morning, only his lantern remained.
Each October, the impossible row returns. The stalks rise. The air feels wrong. Something moves where the field should end.
The 13th Row takes what it wants.
