“Where Night Terrors Are Born”

Something dark and twisted lives inside an old carriage house. The locals have stories about a house of evil that will terrify the innocent and put a chill down your spine. A creepy clown holding a red balloon walks the grounds, but doesn’t say a word. Are you prepared for an experience that will haunt your dreams and leave long lasting memories?
Enter a graveyard that’s infested with the living dead. You pray for solitude from the flesh eaters. The carriage house is haunted and possibly cursed. Your nightmares and phobias will be exploited. Get ready to meet monsters and creatures that born from fear. A poor girl’s teeth are falling out and a group of people have been turned into insects. Watch your eyes or they might pop out of your head in the eyeball room.
The monster hiding under your bed is real and you will meet him soon. Urban Legends live at the carriage house. Say Bloody Mary three times in the mirror and hope to god that she doesn’t kill you. This haunt is full of unique characters including a large baby who wants to share his dirty diaper. I had a diaper rubbed in my face as I tried to leave the room. Anything and everything could be alive at Literally, a Haunted House at Culbertson Mansion. The stuffed animals are ravenous and they’ll attack at any moment.
