In McKamey Manor, people allow themselves to be tied up, beaten and chased - for hours.
Those who endure it will be rewarded - no one has managed it yet.
The sheer horror: McKamey Manor is a notorious attraction.
Visitors want to experience sheer horror in the horror house - and that's what they do.
Only very few manage to escape the house.
McKamey horror houses: crying, screaming, begging
There are numerous videos circulating on YouTube of McKamey Manor when it was still open in San Diego.
The pictures show participants vomiting
, crying, screaming, begging to be allowed out
.
Visitors who suffer bruises from their own attempts to escape, who have their heads pushed under water, who are really and truly afraid - and
all of this completely voluntarily
.
There is no cost involved; participants are simply asked to donate a bag of dog food for McKamey's dogs.
The employees also work there without pay, according to McKamey Manor's Instagram page.
The owner of the horror house, Russ McKamey, moved the horror property
from San Diego to Summertown in Tennessee and to Huntsville in Alabama in the USA
in 2017 after massive criticism .
McKamey rejected criticism that people were physically or emotionally hurt in his homes, The San Diego Union Tribune reported.
That's why he always captures everything on video.

No way: Petition calls for closure of McKamey Manor
But there is even a petition on Change.org to have the horror house closed because it is too extreme.
The creator of the petition is a certain Frankie Towery.
On the page he writes: "Some people have had to
seek professional psychiatric help and medical care with serious injuries
. I suggest that all sites where this is happening be shut down immediately."
Some cases have been reported to the police
in the past
because the experience was too extreme for the participants.
But each of them had previously signed a waiver and therefore no action could be taken against McKamey.

McKamey Manor: Participants must sign 40-page waiver
At the new locations, visitors can now expect a ten-hour horror experience called “Desolation”.
This is said to be McKamey's most extreme experience to date.
Visitors are required to sign a
40-page waiver
, watch a
two-hour video of people
who have not completed their "tour" at McKamey Manor, and provide a
doctor's certificate
of excellent physical health.
On top of that, they must pass an on-site
drug test
and fulfill a few other points, according to the McKamey Manor website.
McKamey said there was a reward of thousands of dollars for those who made it through the "Desolation" experience to the end, but no one had made it yet, the Tampa Bay Times reported.
