What is the scariest haunted house ever?

Answer 1

Just as "beauty is in the eye of the beholder," the idea of what's scary (and what isn't) will vary from person to person.

Some people are scared of ghosts. Others aren't.

Among the most haunted houses I've investigated are:

• The Myrtles Plantation (Louisiana, USA)
• Houmas House (Louisiana, USA)
• The Witch House (Salem, MA, USA)
• The Falstaff Experience (Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England)

Many people think The Myrtles Plantation is too scary to visit at night. I was not frightened there, but I did witness more, different kinds of paranormal events than in 99% of the other sites I've investigated.

Houmas House has a high incidence of ghost sightings in broad daylight. Though they didn't scare me, the apparitions were surprising and looked more solid than most.

England's Falstaff Experience is one of the strangest haunts I've ever seen. Fellow investigators actually seemed to change, physically, while I watched. That was startling and very weird but -- to me, anyway -- not scary.

Of course, some people think Disney's "Haunted Mansion" is scary. So, one person's "scariest haunted house" may be dull and boring to another.
