About Inside McKamey Manor

In Nashville Tennessee sits an unremarkable house, it’s red brick, set back from the road, in 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? If you're interested in sponsorship and advertising in Inside Mckamey Manor, then we'd love to hear from you.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
