Woods of Terror sits on 45 acres of land 12 miles outside of Greensboro, North Carolina.[2] The land is said to be the permanent home to countless spirits who died during The Great Depression.[2] At the time, local priest, Father Eddie Howie McMillan, was the owner of the land. He passed it on to his great-grandson, Eddie Howie McLaurin, in 1970.[3] It became known as McLaurin Farms. McLaurin used the area as a junkyard, collecting fees from individuals who dumped their unwanted belongings, ranging from refrigerators to cars. These items remain as a part of the set used by Woods of Terror. The park opened in 1991.[4]
