You really don’t want to do this.
If you haven’t yet heard about McKamey Manor in Summertown, Tennessee then you might want to turn back now, because the details will chill you to your very core.
McKamey is possible the scariest haunted house in the entire country, and the owner, Russ, takes that title very seriously. So seriously, in fact, that he’ll offer you $20,000 if you make it through. Don’t get too cocky, though. According to this local Houston site, no one has yet to succeed.
If you're curious about what it entails, watch the video below.
Warning: This is graphic!
The requirements alone are enough to send you packing. You’ll need to check off all of the following boxes:
- Be 21 and above, or 18-20 with parents approval.
- Complete a “Sports Physical” and have a doctors letter stating you are physically and mentally cleared.
- Pass a background check.
- Be screened via Facebook, FaceTime, or phone.
- Proof of medical insurance.
- Sign a detailed 40-page waiver.
- Pass a portable drug test on the day of the show.
The physical cost is cheap—all Russ asks for is a 50-pound bag of dog food that he donates to an animal shelter. But the emotional stakes are incredibly high.
Some people are tasked with eating cockroaches, being buried alive, fighting to survive Saw-like contraptions, and more. The Nashville Scene also mentions eels, tasers, paintball guns, and whips. Fun!
