“I went to McKamey Manor in America, which is an extreme haunt. Basically, it’s a torture house. This guy Russ McKamey’s been running it for 20 years. You’ll get waterboarded, you’ll get hit. There’s a variety of things he does to break you. No one’s made it all the way through. Everyone bails out at some point and no one knows exactly what goes on inside,” Farrier told Travel Wire News.

Over 10,000 people have signed a petition to shut down McKamey Manor. Frankie Towery, who began the petition, writes “Advertised as ‘an extreme haunt’ when in fact it is NOT a haunted house. It’s a torture chamber under disguise. they do screenings to find the weakest, most easily manipulated people to do the ‘haunt.'” Learn more about the petition here.
