Extreme haunted house McKamey Manor is a torture chamber, petition says

Its supposed to be more of a mental endurance challenge than a haunted house. A lot of people that try it are either people that run their own extreme haunted houses (which are generally nothing like this one) or people into extreme sports or other challenges that somewhat replicate intense military training similar to special forces selection. The guy claims some actual special forces people have gone through it. From the videos and the vague descriptions it sounds like a SERE school simulator with the exception that in this case they keep going until you quit and then you get sent home, whereas in SERE school you definitely "lose" over and over again, but they fully intend for people to make it through. Also at the manor in addition to the SERE like torture they seem to focus a lot on making people eat gross stuff or do gross things kind of like fear factor.

To sign up you have to watch at least 3 hours of videos and then go through an intense interview process. Don't know if its true but the guy claims that they tell you everything that they are going to do to you before you start.

Its not for me but unless they are lying about the way it works it seems like its impossible to not know what you're getting yourself into.

> McKamey said he has invested more than $1 million in the attraction,

Something doesn't add up there. Also there seems to be a miles long wait list.

This guy and his haunted house were covered in "Dark Tourist" (Netflix). The whole thing seemed more brutal than scary (at least in the traditional sense of "haunted").

I did get the impression participants were pretty well informed about what they were getting into though.

So Im sitting here hacking away in Emacs. How does this help me?

Yeah... not sure what to make of this. Almost reads like an April Fools' article.

I just can't imagine a person who would want to take part in this, nor a person who would want to run it... Then again people intentionally eat ghost peppers etc. so ya never know.

It's torture 100%

Sound like an ad for the movie 'Haunt'? That's exactly the script

This had got recent attention in the mainstream media. I went down the rabbit hole of reading about McKamey Manor a couple years ago. It's very very strange and somethings don't add up.

Created an account to de-lurk and comment.

McKamey is an actual maniac, the entire extreme haunt community hates him, and he is a piece of shit. He makes the entire community look bad, and he's the one that gets all of the press because bizarre sells. People need to stop outrage-promoting him, full stop.
