For years, they have been the architects of your worst nightmares...

Haunted house attractions are vessels that contain those we call "Haunters" who bring our worst nightmares to life. What drives them to scare folks? Is it the idea they get hearts beating and blood pumping, or is it another way to satisfy an itch for horror and the macabre? Discover interviews with seasoned Haunters that give insight into why they embrace the dark and love to scare—and the ghosts that have scared them!

Hauntings are often the inspirations, so we've packed in recalled accounts of hauntings that these Haunters have encountered. Including ghosts and beyond, these tales inspire those that wait around the corner at your local haunt attractions, but even Haunters can get goosebumps during their own spooky encounters.
