Haunted houses are meant to frighten visitors, but some take it too far. One such haunted house called McKamey Manor has been accused of operating as an underground torture chamber.
Russ McKamey, owner of the haunted house, reportedly screens visitors before forcing them into his abuse – some victims even forced to consume their own vomit as part of the experience!
1. The Darkness
McKamey Manor goes beyond your average haunted house experience, tormenting their guests in numerous ways. Slaps, hits, stomps, force feeding (vomit reportedly included!) have all been reported at McKamey Manor!
The Darkness is an indefinable entity comprised of the incorporeal ghosts of Dr. Vannacutt’s sadistic facility staff and deceased inmates; its aim is to absorb any and everything it comes into contact with.
Darkness resides in a decayed room that can only be reached through an old tunnel. Should anyone disturb this place, its inhabitants will either absorb their soul into itself or kill them by passing straight through their bodies and devouring their flesh.
2. The Strange Noises
Rattling chains and crackling noises are often heard in haunted houses with a history of torture, but can also be heard in old asylums and mental institutions that use unconventional means to treat their patients.
These noises may be intended to scare you, but they may make you uncomfortable and uneasy instead. Some individuals cannot handle these strange sounds, leading them to fear entering haunted houses altogether.

3. The Creepy Sounds
People experiencing haunted environments frequently hear unsettling noises such as footsteps or something hitting the floor – these sounds can be both disquieting and unnerving.

However, McKamey Manor offers something beyond standard horror movie scares – an extreme haunted house which offers torture chamber experiences for its visitors. Although McKamey Manor advertises itself as an extreme haunted house experience, critics argue it serves more as a torture chamber in disguise than anything else.
4. The Creepy Lights
Noticing strange lights at the corner of your eye or hearing disquieting voices are two telltale signs that indicate a house is haunted. While these incidents could simply be due to drafty cold air coming through the window, or they could signal imminent danger – they should not be disregarded!
