Fate has not been kind to the village of Raven’s Cross.  The plague here has become more virulent, more devastating than ever before, mutating its victims, turning them into unrecognizable abominations.  The remaining townsfolk have turned on one another, compassion has disappeared.  Now, everyone is a threat.  No one is safe.  Fear has turned to paranoia.  Paranoia to Sadism.

    I believe this is a running haunted house in Greensburg, KY. The site says open starting October 1st, but does not indicate if it is a current(2014) listing. Price $10.00.

  2. Shane says:

    USS Nightmare is a really good haunt that I love to go to. What is more realistic than a real steam boat. This steam boat isn’t you’re average steam boat eather, this than is huge. Just getting a look from the outside of this boat is freaky enough to give you the willy’s as you walk on to the old deck. This is a must see if you haven’t been there yet.
