Episode 10: McKamey Manor

McKamey Manor has been known as an "extreme haunted house" for years. When originally homed in San Diego, Russ McKamey (owner) employed "actors" who would subject the "guests" to physical assault (including whips, tasers, mouse traps), waterboarding, being bound and gagged, and psychological torture. 

In recent years, Russ moved McKamey Manor to small town, rural Tennessee and no longer uses "actors". Though the location and the haunt has changed, is Russ able to escape the controversies that have surrounded the Manor? 

Grab a drink and join us this week as we explore McKamey Manor and the controversies that have followed it across the country. Our booze of choice this week: Guinness.
