I’m pretty sure we have some ghost cats. Thats haunted enough.
I will say the last time I went a haunted house there was a box maze you had crawl through at the end. It was pitch black and my I encountered a puddle. my right knee was drenched. Got out of the maze and 10 y/o me was really puzzled why the high schoolers were freaking out. It was a fake blood puddle and they thought I was dying. They had to call my parents so they wouldn’t freak out when I walked home.
When I lived in Monticello, AR about 1.5 blocks down the street from me was a “haunted” Victorian (falling down) huge house that had been on Ghost Busters. They made about $25K a year giving tours. I was talked into paying $10 joining from new friends (I had just moved there) to tour it.
It was entertaining to see the tricks used to try to make it look haunted. They had some small contraption that a cell phone would activate in a bedroom that was supposed to be a ghost. Someone on the tour called someone and set it off. The kid doing the tour (owner was a faculty member at the university I was teaching at, this was one of his students) blew it and explained how it worked.
In another room they had a photo on the wall (black and white) showing a ghost in the room. What they miscalculated on was looking at a glass vase on the shelf in the photo you could see the person standing there rigging the ghost.
In the living room allegedly something on a shelf rocked on it’s own. That secret was stepping on a floorboard. I tested it myself after as I was the last one out of the room.
And the list goes on and on. I asked the too talkative student giving the tour about all the prop tricks and she said that Ghost Busters allowed the owners to keep some of them.
They had a great halloween display at the house which also meant I had a ton of trick or treaters. This is where I gave away all the fidget spinners that lit up (I had to test over 100 of them as I didn’t want to disappoint kids if they got one that didn’t light up when used). And, of course, when a kid ran into the street and screamed, “This house has fidget spinners!!!” I was mobbed. It was sort of cool seeing all the lights from the figet spinners as the kids walked around in the dark.
I’d love to, but my husband is never interested in going to any kind of events except the occasional concert.
I’ve never been to a haunted house (as far as I can remember) Never plan to go to one either.
I’d love to but like piney my boyfriend never wants to go either. I’m hoping I can get him to go to ONE this weekend.
Field of screams is so fire

@kjady What do the ghost cats do?!
Knott’s Scary Farm (the original theme park haunt)
Go to? You mean just stay home?
@yakkoTDI It’s not a haunted house if the ghost leaves
