America's most haunted house requires 40-page waiver, a drug test and insurance
A spooky house described as 'America's most haunted' asks visitors to sign a 40-page waiver and requires a drug test and health insurance to enter. It has become a must see spot for Halloween lovers.
McKamey Manor calls itself 'a haunted house like no other' as those venturing into the building first have to be aged 21 or over before they are first forced to undergo a screening process to take part in any visit at the year-round tourist destination. The haunted house in Summertown, Tennessee, is not for the faint-hearted or for those who have any problems with their heart.
The haunted mansion was originally based in California before owner Russ McKamey moved the house of horros to Summertown, Tennessee, in 2017 in a bid to come up with new ways to gain fans. Summertown is about an hour south of Nashville, the Tennessean reports.
In an interview with Knox News, Russ explained what people are signing themselves up for and he insists it's no Trick or Treat or walk in the park. The whole experience even has aprixe for those that "beat the manor" which could land the winner a $20,000 prize. This, however, has not been a success for anyone who has attempted to go through the attraction.
