Have you ever went through a haunted house?

I did this once when my daughter was in Jr. high school. The reason i went was because one of the houses in the tour was actually thought of as haunted because there was a couple of young collage girls that went missing and never found. They had rented a couple of sleeping rooms at that house. People around the neighborhood had claimed to see someone in the tower room on top floor sometimes. I believe that we actually lived in a haunted house before. Everytime i was home alone it would sound as if someone else was in the house. It didnt matter if it was day or night. If i was downstairs i would hear stuff upstairs. If i was upstairs i would hear stuff downstairs. The door at the bottom of the stairs would never stay shut. Even when i know it was secured. The basement had two rooms. The smallest was the back room. It had a really creepy dirt floor. There were homecanned foods on the shelves. I always had a creepy feeling down there. Before we moved out i was at the point that i didnt want to be home alone.

Spooky huh...I know there is but never have the chance to enter. The house was not occupied for years because it is very haunted. Even though the neighbor can heard someone screaming at night. So, the neighbor decided to put a very big Buddha statue to overcome those thing.

i have been to a couple when i was younger. they werent scary. they just do it for fun, making silly and dark to look scary so you cant really see the stuff and how silly it all is. they do it for the kids mostly. it is funny. we couldnt stop laughing when we got out. as you said, it is something to do. it was entertaining. so, go for it and have fun!

Yep! I went to one, well several last year at Magic Mountain when they did their halloween scary thing. Two of them I went thru were just fine, sure I was a little scared but nothing like the third one. That one this guy jumped out at me, and everybody went thru the house in a line, so there were people behind me, including my best friend. When the guy popped out in my face, I leaned back and screamed, and I kept leaning back till I fell over.. and then I started trying to crawl away because he wouldn't stop coming! It was crazy! Well, when we came out the other end, the guy apologized profusely because I guess they aren't supposed to touch the people who come through and he did, even though I tried to get away lol. I'm not really afraid, the fear comes more from surprise, when something happens you're not ready for.

i always loved holloween to but i never went though a haunted house i don't know why they never had any around when i was younger i guess.hope you have a good one you and your girls.

You know, when I was a kid I used to go every year. That was back when haunted houses were mostly part of a carnival, or at least recognized as entertainment. By the time my boys were old enough they were vieing for recognition with horrer/slasher films basically became gross-out parties. I didn't take them at all. But we used to make our own. We had a pool and a large yard, and would make mazes that ended in the pool which had dry ice smoking in it for effect, or other fun stuff. We based them on old horror flicks sometimes, that was fun and everyone recognized the characters. We also did other things, like treasure hunts in costume and on horseback. The whole block was in on that particular get-together. My boys are grown now, and none of them go to the commercial haunted houses. They make stuff up, like they did when they were kids.

Never really like those places. Been to a few. Not much amused or awed by them. Life is already scary as it is. No need to pay someone to give me a on-the-spot fright as well. I guess for kids, it would be fun to be in a place where they scare you for the fun of it. I guess when I have kids, I would have to bring them there once in a while when they request for it. ha ha ha ha... looks like you had a whale of a time with your kids at the haunted attraction!

I've never been on the one you've mentioned; what was the experience really like? Did you scream and all that? It would be kinda interesting if I have to go through something like that; will be kind of 'exciting'...

NO, I never have. the reason i haven't lol if someone startles me i slap them automatically, i'm not picky about who i slap either. would ghate to get arrested for assault .

I have gone to several here locally in years past but they were pretty hokie. I would love to go to a real haunted one. When I was on the road with the carnival there was one on the lot that was a hoot. You went on a track through it and once you started you couldn't back out. The first few times it was pretty scarey. It was either in Albuquerque or Jacksonville, I can't remember which. I should write a book about that adventure!

Sounds like your girls knew what they were doing! LOL! About 7 years ago I want to a haunted house in San Diego called 'Nightmare On Market St' because it's on Market St (Duhhhhh! LOL!) Anyway, we had a good time, but, there was this one instance where this care was coming toward us and slammed it's breaks on about 4 feet in front of us. (It was part of the haunt) and it scared me so bad that my back hurt for a week! And my friend had sympathy pains. It was fun, though. Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

Hiya Jen, Have never visited a really haunted place but I had to work in one some time back now. No one ever told us that it was haunted. One morning I had to be on duty at seven o´clock in the morning and I felt a very chilly prescence behind me this had never happened to me before and the hair on the back of my neck stood on end and I took courage to turn around but there was no one there but I can guarantee you there was and I was whiter than the ghost itself lol. It was a feminine presence. Later we were told that Lady Jane Grey was kept prisoner in that very manor and on a certain date of the year her face appears in the latticed Windows of the very same Room which she used to look out of. Even though it was a very chilly presence I felt it meant no harm to me it touched my back too. It´s something I have never experienced again in the same way. Could it have been Lady Jane Grey? I cannot say but she came across very strongly and yes I was afraid at first.

Yes and I'll never forget it!!! I went when I was in the fifth grade-the last time I ever did too! There was a surgeon with a needle and a guy with a chainsaw chasing me-and I thought they were real at the time! There's a few out here this year and I'm not sure I will go LOL

I love haunted houses. I think they are the best part of Halloween.

Belated "Happy Hallowe'en"....Jen! With computer down for more than a week, rushing to catch up here! Been to the traditional ones at Disney land...but the eeriest one ever, was on the eastern shores of Kootenay Lake, where everything defied gravity! Water ran up hill, from waterfalls...and perceptively you would walk down hill, but used the same effort as walking up a steep hill...all done with perception but very, very eery! Cheers & HUGZ!

Yes, I been through quite a few haunted house. Some were very well done, some others shouldn't have wasted their time. Even my kids didn't get a thrill out of them. Nope wasn't afraid at all.

In fact i lived in a haunted house for a year when i was 12yrs. my step dad and his brother decided to go into a business together and rent this big old run down mansion type place in Kentucky i guess to help with finances since it was cheap to rent and they had 5 kids and my step dad was taking care of 2 of his kids and there was me 5 of us was between 12 and 15 years old. 4 of us girls so it was quite interesting. there was no inside plumbing so at night, we had to go together and step out side to pee if we had to go. luckily us 4 girls slept in a big bed and room together. sometimes at late night we would hear footsteps in the attic and whispers. our parents said it was squirrels but we also saw a woman in a long dress,victorian style walking around in the yard at night. one time, the one girl woke me up just in time to see an old man sitting on our chair in the corner watching us. he disappeared a minute after but we saw him. one time they thought it was funny to close me in the cupboard under the stairs. it was day time but dark in there. i was only inthere about 3 minutes but to this day, i have claustrophobia over it. in some ways it was fun but in a lot of ways i was sure glad when we moved. also, there was gravesights in the side yard of the family from way back in the 1700's.i guess people used to bury their family in their own property then. yikes!

Hey Jen! Nope! Can't say I have ever gone through any of those really haunted exhibits! I might have gone through one many years ago when I was really young, but I can barely remember it so I guess it wasn't that scary! I'm just not that into being scared for no real reason and since I don't have any kids to bother me to do that's just fine with me! Last night my azzhole boyfriend rented one of the most gory and disgusting and creepy DVD's I've ever seen! Just when I think he can't find a more scary and disgusting one, he does! I have never seen so much blood, guts, killing and slicing and dicing of body parts in my entire life! And he has already brought home 3 other DVD's that I thought were scary and gross! I don't know what the name of this was, but it was the worst of them all! And I actually sat there getting sick to my stomach and watching it till the end! I'm just as stupid I guess! So who needs a haunted house when I live with a moron!

yes i used to take my kids through them .. the live houses were the best but i must admit i am not good with people jumping out on me especially when my kids are behind me i get over protective and the last time i hit the guy jumping out .. was a fathers instinct i'm afraid so after that i decided its best i don't go in them anymore especially with my kids :)

Yes, when I was growing up my sister, brother and I went through a haunted house it was very scary then. I did that too had my sister and brother go in front of me and I was the one who got it but that only happen once then I made my brother get behind me. I took my son to a haunted house once for Halloween when he was growing up it was not as scary to me this time.
