Welcome to Summertown, Tennessee. Home to what some have called the ‘world’s most extreme haunt.’ The infamous McKamey Manor sits on a plot of land just a bit north of the Alabama border. Let’s be clear, this isn’t your ordinary haunted attraction. Good news? There is a $20,000 prize for anybody who makes it through the 10-hour ordeal – although according to the Mckamey Manor website, this year’s Descent experience is around 6+ hours. Bad news? Nobody has ever won.
