A haunted hayride is a haunted attraction and a form of agri-entertainment that takes place on a farm or large piece of land. Patrons climb on a wagon filled with hay or haybales and are driven into the deep dark woods as the tractor driver navigates through brush, cornfields, narrow paths, fields, and barns. Throughout the trip, customers may come in contact with out of control farm equipment, fast-moving vehicles (hearses, hot rods), actors dressed up as monsters and traditional characters like the Headless Horseman.
The typical haunted hayride lasts 10–45 minutes and ranges in price from $5–$25 a ticket. Some use sound systems attached to the wagon or tractor. During the daytime some haunted hayrides may have live shows, face painting, fun characters and may even sell pumpkins or other vegetables grown on their farm.

Famous quotes containing the word haunted:
“I am haunted by numberless islands, many a Danaan shore,
Where Time would surely forget us, and Sorrow come near us no more;
Soon far from the rose and the lily and fret of the flames would we be,
Were we only white birds, my beloved, buoyed out on the foam of the sea!”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
