New podcast uncovers America’s most controversial haunted house 

A new eight-part true crime series releases this Halloween to uncover America’s most controversial haunted house.

Inside McKamey Manor, hosted by journalist and horror enthusiast Elizabeth McCafferty, goes deep into the world of the extreme haunted house, where participants sign a waiver allowing the scare actors to do…anything.

With growing calls to shut down the extreme attraction, some participants claim they were physically injured and traumatised by what happened to them. 

McKamey Manor, situated in Tennessee, looks like any other American home from the outside but what goes on inside has sparked controversy across the globe.

This new series from Audio Always, explores the chilling reality of McKamey Manor, looking at the legality of the 29-page McKamey Manor waiver, and asks why thrill-seekers are willing to go through extreme horror to feel real fear.

The series asks questions such as When does an “extreme haunt” become a “torture house”? Why has no one ever completed the challenge to claim the $20,000 cash prize? And who is Russ McKamey the man behind it all — an entertainer who says he just loves Halloween, or something much darker?

“I’ve always been fascinated by the way people seek out fear, and McKamey Manor takes that fascination to the extreme,” says Elizabeth. “This podcast isn’t just about the haunt itself, it’s about understanding the human desire to confront fear, the psychology that drives people to participate in something so intense, and the ethical line between entertainment and exploitation.”

The podcast hears from former participants, scare actors and psychologists, lawyers, and even a dominatrix to unravel the dark story behind McKamey Manor.

Inside McKamey Manor is available from today, 29 October wherever you get your podcasts.
