Haunted house requires guests to sign 40-page waiver

No one has ever successfully walked through the entire haunted house in Summertown, Tennessee. Guests are hypnotized to make the house more believable. It has been called “The most dangerous Haunted house in America.”

The McKamey Manor Haunted House requires visitors to sign a 40-page waiver, pass a physical and undergo a background check before walking through the home.

Russ McKamey allows people to enter the home after they give him a bag of food for his five dogs.

He is offering a $20,000 prize to anyone who can complete the haunted house.

The haunted house relies on hypnotism to trick guests into being more scared than they are.

Russ tells WFLA, “When I use the hypnosis, I can put you in a kitty pool with a couple inches of water and tell you there’s a great white shark in there, and you’re gonna think there’s a shark in there.

And so, when you have that kind of power over people and have them do and see things that you want them to see, then they can leave here thinking it really happened, and they’ll go to the authorities and say, ‘oh, whatever,’ and I have to come back and show the footage and say, ‘it didn’t go that way at all’.”

Do you think you could make it through the McKamey Manor? Has a haunted house ever really scared you?
