Take an elevator ride to the 13th Floor if you are curious as to what ghosts and great spooky mysteries reside there. Are you daring enough?
#9. Spookywoods Haunted Attraction in Greensboro/Raleigh, NC.
In the day light the Spookywoods territory might seem like a fun place to take your family with their huge corn maze, a 2-mile long zip line, pumpkin patches, fossil & gem digs and much more. Do not take the daylight for granted. The ‘spooky’ part of Spookywoods can be witnessed at night from the outdoor haunted house.
#8. Cutting Edge Haunted House in Dallas/Fort Worth, TX.
Cutting Edge is one of the most popular haunted houses in the Dallas area. If you make it all the way through the haunted house, at least you can say you went through the Guinness World Record Book holder for the Longest Haunted House. If that doesn’t scare you enough, maybe the fact that the house is built in a 100-year old meat packing plant. Are you scared yet?
#7. Netherworld in Atlanta, GA.
Netherworld is noted for its collection of frightening monsters. The monsters in your nightmares? Yeah, you can meet them here. Just because you made it out alive does not mean you made it out sane.
