Maybe because no one is forced against there will and they sign a crazy waiver being of sound mind and body with a doctors clearance

LAWRENCE COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN/CNN) - It’s billed as an extreme haunted attraction, survival horror challenge and now there is a renewed effort to close it.

More than 18,000 people signed a petition on change.org to close McKamey Manor in Tennessee.

Residents in the rural area wanted the manor shut down since it opened, saying they have heard the screams of horror.

The manor is advertised as "an extreme haunted attraction," but videos show it's more than a haunt. Many describe it as a torture house.


The owner, Russ McKamey, says he finds the petition humorous and that he isn’t doing anything illegal.

He adds that there are more than 27,000 people on a waiting list to get inside the manor, and no one has ever completed it.

McKamey screens each participant personally.


If accepted, there is a long list of rules which include watching a 2-hour long video, signing a 40-page waiver and passing a physical.

I wonder what the actual objective of the game is. Get from point A to B? Solve a puzzle to escape? Just endure torture for x amount of time?

I think they should remove the 20,000 bribe to complete it. That is a draw for people to endure bodily harm that might not have otherwise.

They were literally hitting those people. Who would sign up for a real life version of Hostel?

They have to be violating some kind of county state code or something. But it’s in a red state so...

Until put to the test, a lot of people think they are braver and tougher than they actual are.

I'm not even sure if it's the money for some people. It's more the personal challenge. One woman was carried out because she essentially froze and they thought something might be wrong so they took her out. When she finally snapped out of it she was pissed and asked to be put back in.

Another woman said she was going through things in her life and wanted to go the house to "feel" again.

^^^ Sounds very similar to people that climb Mt. Everest
