Inside McKamey Manor
By Always True Crime
In Nashville, Tennessee sits an unremarkable house, it’s red brick, set back from the road, with a green lawn. It looks…completely normal, but online it’s become infamous.
Over this eight part series, journalist and horror enthusiast Elizabeth McCafferty explores the world of McKamey Manor - labelled the most extreme haunt in the world. McKamey Manor is an American haunted house in which there are no limits, where thrill-seekers sign a waiver that allows the actors in the house to do anything, including real physical harm. There is allegedly an award for completing the haunt…but no one has ever succeeded. Now there’s a petition to close the manor, and some participants say it’s not a haunt at all, but a torture house, blurring the lines between fear and endurance - all run by one dangerous man - Russ McKamey.
Inside McKamey Manor explores what really happens behind the doors of one of the most controversial extreme attractions, finds out who Russ McKamey is and unpacks the industry of scaring. What’s the psychology that drives people to seek out fear and why are so many people willing to risk everything for the thrill of real fear?
