DANVERS, Mass. — An evening stroll through a corn maze took a confusing turn Monday for a family that became disoriented in the rows of corn and called 911 to ask for help.
A father and mother with two children used their cellphone to call Danvers Police at 6:32 p.m. reporting that they were lost in the Connors Farm corn maze. Danvers Officer Justin Ellenton responded to the call and entered the corn maze with Connor’s Farm manager Ritchie Potter to search for the family.
Within nine minutes of entering the maze, Ellenton and Potter found the family. The family had almost found their way out; unbeknownst to them, they were only 25 feet from the street. Police were not releasing the name of the family.
The 7-acre corn maze is a challenging course, said owner of the farm, Bob Connor. This year’s course with a design cut into the corn of the “Salem Village Headless Horseman” may be trickier than years past Connor said. Other designs from previous years included “Eastwood,” with Clint Eastwood’s face emblazoned through the corn, and "Family Guy."
“We had a few people who got a bit lost last year, but they found their way out,” Connor said. “There is no wire or fence around the maze, so if they really want or need to get out all they have to do is listen for the sound of traffic.”
Connor said that the farm has a night security person on hand every night who stays until everybody leaves.
“We make sure there are no cars left in the parking lot. We don’t want to leave anybody behind in the maze,” Connor said. Connor had just left the farm for the evening when he got a call from a friend who had heard on the police scanner that somebody was stuck in the maze.
“They were a really nice family. We offered for them to come back on us and try the maze again – but I think they had enough,” Connors said.

I have some compassion for these people. It is not as silly as many 911 calls. A friend of mine who is a fireman told me some horror stories about the calls they HAVE to respond to.
My guess is these people probably felt at least a little bit embarrassed.
Simply Amaizing.
They should stick to football.
I wouldn’t hesitate to run through a confield to escape a stalker!

Sounds like a pre-planned set up with the corn maze owner to boost the popularity of the maze. No one is stupid enough to get lost in a corn maze when all you have to do is walk in one direction through the corn till you come out. It was a set-up.
Same kind of people who succumb to death by GPS
"Recalculating......Recalculating...."
We have a winner.
Just keep turning to the right and one will make it out of any maze.
I was told this by a genius level (got 35 on the ACT) 15-year-old, when we went to our first corn maze this weekend. It worked.
His mother, who does these things all the time, told me that when her daughter was three they went. In the middle, the little one needed a potty. They just went through the stalks to get out quick.

A few years ago, my daughter was cheering for the Pop Warner team in her town. One week they played Everett.I ended up helping out with the first down chains on the Everett sideline. I look at one kid who was the safety coming off the field and I had to do a doubletake. The kid who was 15 tops(unless he lied about his age) had a tattoo of a royal straight flush on his forearm. And it was a real tattoo.
***They were lost in the maize?.........****
A flash back to my youth in the early 1960s...LITTLE LULU comic book where she is lost in a maze made by a Japanese man named Hotsi Totsi.
She eventually breaks through a wall and is outside, Hotsi Totsi starts crying because she ruined his maze. She says she mere lymodified it by making another exit!
We used to have a supervisor at work who we said was...”Lost in the Ozone!” (especially after taking artheritis medication). ;-D
***I wouldn’t hesitate to run through a confield to escape a stalker!****
Especially if he s carrying an axe and looks like Jack Nicholson.
LOL
I think I remember that!.........I read all kinds of comic books in the 60’s....If only I had them still.......I had the original issue of Silver Surfer!..........

I have never heard that story about Algore. Reference? I’d be inclined to dismiss it as an urban legend. Or did he perhaps go astray in Rock Creek Park. It would be possible to get turned around in Rock Creek Park north of the zoo and end up walking a lot farther than intended. This is near but not adjacent to the VP’s mansion. That said, one can’t really get lost in Rock Creek Park; keep going down and you hit Beach Drive along the creek or one of the access roads, or climb up, which will put you in a city neighborhood. I suppose you could then be “lost” in the same way you can be lost in any unfamiliar part of any city.
