NUFC star player braves North East scare park

A Newcastle United star has swapped Premier League action for a different kind of challenge with a visit to a North East scare attraction.

Brazilian international midfielder Joelinton took on the scares at Psycho Path, which is currently running at Lintz Hall Farm in Burnopfield.

The footballer follows in the footsteps of other Newcastle United and Sunderland players, including the likes of Dan Burn and Granit Xhaka, who have previously visited the attraction.

Joelinton, who joined Newcastle back in 2019, said he was “genuinely surprised” by the scale of Psycho Path and “couldn’t wait to come back again with his family”.

Christiano Crawford, creator and director of Psycho Path, was delighted that Joelinton had loved his first taste of the scare park.

He said: “It’s a genuine honour to host players of this calibre.

“To really enter into the spirit of Psycho Path is not something a lot of high profile athlete would do, but he loved it and was a real gentleman.

“He brought his family with him who were also brilliant sports and got involved with everything and said they had also had a brilliant night.

“We’re extremely excited for this season and we can’t thank him enough for taking the time out to come and experience Psycho Path.”

Running every weekend, the attraction has returned with a number of changes and additions for this year’s event.

Established experiences including Vandalised, Dolls House, IScream and Crawl Space have been extended and refreshed, while The Darkness and Cutthroat Island have also returned.

Alongside its scare attractions, Psycho Path features a range of food and drink outlets, fairground rides and a programme of live entertainment.

The seasonal attraction has previously won industry recognition and draws visitors to Lintz Hall Farm each autumn for its programme of horror-themed experiences.

A limited number of tickets remain available for this year’s event via www.psycho-path.co.uk.
