For example, one evening, 5 hyperventilating guests were escorted to the exit, including one person who has being taken to hospital due her state of shock. Curious about this new haunted house?
"In the beginning I was just a little nervous. But for the rest I felt alright because I was with a big group. Unfortunately our group was forced to split in two little groups. We had no clue what was going on and I panicked right away!"
