Ten Scariest Manmade Haunted Houses in America

Have you ever been chased through a haunted house attraction by a Jason Voorhees look alike? I have and it is one scary experience! Here are the best places to have your own scary encounter–if you dare!

1. The Dent Haunted Schoolhouse (Cincinnati, OH) is reportedly haunted by a real ghost named Charlie. In addition to the haunted house, there is a maze. http://www.frightsite.com/

2. Nightmare on 17th Street (Cheyenne, WY) has lots of scary theme rooms, such as Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Dead Silence (think evil puppets). http://www.nightmareon17thstreet.com/

3. 13th Floor Haunted House (San Antonio, TX; Phoenix, AZ; Denver, CO). This is one of the only haunted houses that I’m aware of that has real snakes and other creepy creatures. http://www.13thflooraz.com/
