Stunted and gnarled fruit trees are lined in rows. The trees have thick bases and are clearly very old but have not produced any fruit for a long time, yet they stubbornly cling to life. Unpruned, their branches stick out at all angles making it hard for a person to traverse the orchard and frequently these branches grab the loose clothing of any visitor. Wind moan through the trunks while dead leaves slowly tumble along the ground.
Haunted Orchard, Farm

I am poor and dirty. I hate that I am starving to death. I am a hard worker.
This is the old haunted orchard. It looks like your lost. We don't get many visitors walking through these parts. No one dares to come through here. Oh my god thank god someone is here. Yeah, this place is haunted alright. What was that scream? Oh my god please keep me safe. You may want to keep your strength up. We do get thieves and some other bad types of people through here as well Oh, thankyou. This looks... delicious. I appreciate it. Don't suppose you know how to get out of here? I was looking for the castle. Yes, right this way. Just be on alert. The thieves are more dangerous than the spirits. They tend to hide out in here and stash their loot.  Okay, I'm on alert. No thief is gonna make a fool out of me. I've got my eye out for you, thieves. Can't surprise me-OH MY GOD A THIEF!! GET BACK! We got him! He won't be messing about in these parts anymore. Look at that...He had a big knife! Oh thank goodness you're here, I would've been done for... grab his knife! We can use it to hack down some of these unruly branches. I've got this hammer too. We can use this as a weapon. You're resourceful, aren't ya? And what are you even doing all the way out here, anyway? I am poor and dirty and people spit on me so I hide come out here to escape the torment. Oh. That is AWFUL. Well, if I ever reach the castle I'll tell the king what you did for me... you have too good a heart to be stuck out here.
