First of all, we’re not strangers in the art of creating a haunted house and scaring people half to death. There was a brief time period where we did not run a Haunted House. G F Productions and some crew members have been responsible for some great Haunted Houses in Northern Utah. We had a part to play in the old Smiths building Haunted House on 1400 North in Logan. This was just after Smiths moved to their current location on 400 North. We had a lot of fun with the Haunted House at the old cheese plant in Richmond Utah back in 1995. Sherwood Hills was another terror walk. This one was in the Haunted Sherwood Forest up Sardine Canyon. We have had fun in the past doing various smaller, non commercial haunted houses as well. In 2001 and 2002 we started the commercial side of haunting again. We opened a terror style walk in a hollow of trees through an old fruit orchard in North Logan. People were often confused because North Logan has so many different Halloween attractions. This site is close to the Utah State University campus. We picked the name Terror Hollow because it just went well with the setting. We have decided to stick with the name Terror Hollow.

This is where the technical history of Terror Hollow ends and the chilling side begins. Now we all know that Haunted House attractions as scary as they can be are just more less entertainment and fun. The special effects generated by computers, audio mixers, lighting controls, dimmers, pneumatics and half a dozen other high tech devices can be pretty cool. What we don’t know at times is the true history of the place where we house the actual production.

It turns out that Terror Hollow 2001 and 2002 was performed in the center of a place that has quite a chilling history of its own. This is for real according to those involved. In 2002, we had a big foot as part of the Terror Hollow monster crew. A neighbor was telling us about what happened to her when she was a teenager some 30 years ago. She, her sister and a friend were sleeping outside close to the canal. Some time in the middle of the night, they say a large thing passed by on the canal trail. According to both of them, it was at least double the size and height of any normal human. They said it made deep low grunts. These were sound ranges that the human voice is not capable of reaching. Its head, neck and back were arched and much bigger than that of a human. It passed them heading south towards the University. Many of us passed it off as not much more than a good Halloween story. This Mother and person up the street really believed in what she was saying. She was after all there at the time and saw it happen. She has her sister and a friend is a witness.

Ironic or chilling, depending on what you believe, the next part gets scary. In January 2003, a few months after Terror Hollow 2002, this neighbor’s son and his cousin was outside in the backyard, close to the same spot where his mother and aunt spotted this thing over 30 years ago. As they sat there talking, they spotted the same thing their mother described. Needless to say, they weren't’t laughing at his mother’s story any longer. They said it was very large. “It couldn't’t be a human,” they said. They said they have never been more scared in their lives. The next day, Bigfoot tracks were spotted all over around the canal trail and even down in the fruit orchard where we had Terror Hollow.
