Enjoy Haunted Houses! 

Welcome foolish Earbuds! We will take you on a tour of Haunted Houses from movies, TV, and the real world. What is it about an old spooky house that is falling apart, and making mysterious noises…and people died there that scares us so much? Maybe there’s no rational explanation, but it sure is fun. There have been countless stories for generations that get our blood flowing and our heart racing fast. 

 

But movies and TV aren’t the only place you can get frightened of a casa. There are real life ones that you can visit to hear histories of horror such as the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado or the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California.

 

And of course the classic haunted houses in theme parks such as the Haunted Mansion in several Disney Parks and others across the globe.



How do you feel about Haunted Houses? Would you spend the night in one? First person that emails me with the subject line, “Be sure to bring your Death Certificate” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know.
