Haunted Hollow
12501 Giles Road in La Vista
Open Sundays through Thursdays from 7 p.m. until 10 p.m; Fridays and Saturdays from 7 p.m. until midnight
Haunted Hollow stands apart from the other haunted houses in Omaha because of its claims of real-life hauntings. According to the Web site, the three-story house was built in the 1880s and psychics have all claimed to see ghosts on its property.
The Halloween hot spot also features a smoke house, heartbeat suspended bridge, barn maze, nightly movies under the stars and a public bonfire for the $15 admission price.

Scary Acres coins itself as Omaha's "ultimate haunted attraction" since opening in 2002.

Also new this year is a live DJ who performs on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and bonfires each night.
Ticket prices for Scary Acres vary for each attraction. Visitors can also purchase a four-ticket package for $28.
