"Instead, its a nightmare"

                    A couple and their new-born baby got the Halloween scare of a lifetime when they got lost in a corn maze near Salem, Massachusetts, and had to call 9-1-1. Danvers police say they got a call from a distressed mother at about 6:32pm on Monday, who had told them about her situation in Connors Farm in Danvers;

                    The exchange:

Woman: "Hi, I just called. I'm still stuck at Connors Farms. I don't see anybody. I am really scared. It's really dark and we've got a 3-week-old baby with us."


Dispatcher: "Just relax. Calm down. Your husband is with you right?"



Woman: "Yes, but my baby?"
Dispatcher: "OK. I understand and the police officer is on the way."
Woman: "We thought this would be fun. Instead it's a nightmare. I don't know what made us do this. It was daytime when we came in. And I never take my daughter out. This is the first time. Never again."
The family's frightful journey was reported by the Danvers Herald first, then picked up world wide. Bob Connors, the owner of the farm, told on Wednesday that the maze was created so that people would get lost in the 7 acres of the mighty stalks; and says that it can take up to an hour to navigate around the headless horseman, carved into the maze.

If you think you're up to the challenge than try it out yourself at Connors Farm, near Salem, Mass..
