Haunted House Tour Ratings:

Hauntedhousetour.com is dedicated to bringing you the most
accurate and objective ratings from houses
we tour. For each rating we give, we use a special rating averaging system which considers in-depth reviews from as many as
50 tour members.
This process keeps the ratings simple and precise, since each haunted house goer's experience will be slightly different. By averaging all Haunted House Tour
members' ratings, we bring you both reliable and knowledgeable reviews of the hottest locations in the Tri-State.
We WILL NOT give full, detailed descriptions of any
haunted house we tour. We feel that this may compromise your
experience when you decide to tour a haunt. Basically, we do not
want to give away any good aspects or "surprises" of any
attraction we tour.

Excellent!
2007 Frightmaster Award Winner!

| REVIEW:
The Dent Schoolhouse is a 2007 surprise favorite. The
schoolhouse has always been a good haunt, but this year with
improvements, and upgraded cast, the Dent Schoolhouse has taken
a step up to the next level. The outdoor scenery is a
great addition as well as the overall school theme. Loaded
with scares around each corner, this haunt also uses dark space
or as we call it "down time" between scares. The
rooms are creepy, and the actors are very
professional. The schoolhouse is ahead of the pack
for the 2007 season, and is a must-see in our opinion!

Thanks for a great time, and great job on an excellent haunt!

| REVIEW:
King's Island's Halloween Haunt is a complete experience for
those who love Halloween and haunted attractions. There
are 10 haunted attractions as well as live shows, and select
rides open as well. The attractions are rated individually
above, as well as an overall score for the entire experience of
the event.
The price is very reasonable for the
value you will get. The entire park is transformed into a
haunting experience. Ghosts roam the grounds looking for
victims and fog is so thick in places that you can barely
see. There are many haunts on location, so use our ratings
above to decide which haunts you wish to visit. Our
personal favorite is the Trail Of Terror. This haunt lacks
some scare factor in some houses, but overall is a great
experience!

| USS Nightmare: Newport, KY |
9.5 |
Excellent! |
| REVIEW:
USS Nightmare has been a standard for a great haunt in the
Greater Cincinnati area for years, and this year is no
different! USS Nightmare has once again put on a great
haunt with new scenes without compromising the quality they have
been known for. This is an annual must-see for any haunt
enthusiast, and we definitely recommend it this year!

| Sandyland Acres: Petersburg, KY (NKY) |
9.5 |
Excellent! |
| REVIEW:
Sandyland Acres is a very unique and refreshingly new haunt
located in Petersburg, KY. In their second year of
operation, they have earned a rating of
"Excellent" for the second time in a row! This
is almost unheard of for a new haunt! We have been to
haunted hayrides before that are very average, but this haunt
raises the bar and includes elements that we have never seen
before. This haunt is very creative, and is definitely
worth the short drive from Cincinnati! Great job on
another successful season! We definitely recommend this
haunt Visit their website at www.sandylandacres.com.

| Clifton Haunted Mansion: Cincinnati,
OH (Completed) |
Cincinnati Paranormal Society: Real Haunt Investigation |
| REVIEW: We
toured a historic haunted mansion in Clifton, which is a suburb
of Cincinnati, OH. We set up our equipment to investigate
reports of paranormal activity in the building. The
building itself was built in the 1860's, and current workers had
reported the sighting of a man standing in a parlor with turn of
the century 1900's clothing.
Although we were not lucky
enough to experience a full-body apparition, we did find some
interesting activity in the building. We experienced
extremely high EMF readings in two rooms. The second room
we experienced an EMF reading off the chart. This was more
interesting since it was immediately following a sighting of a
black figure going through the room. The reading was
registered in the exact same spot where the figure was
seen.
We did not find enough concrete evidence to call
this a true haunting, however, we had enough experiences that we
are going to schedule a second investigation to gather further
audio and video evidence.
FINAL EVALUATION: Further
investigation needed, but evidence was present.

| Indianapolis Haunt Investigation:
Southport, IN (Completed) |
Cincinnati Paranormal Society: Real Haunt Investigation |
| REVIEW: We
traveled to the Indianapolis area to investigate claims of a
haunting at a local business location. Due to the
nature of the building and the seasonal nature of the business,
there are many factors to take in to consideration for this
investigation. There were claims of sheets rising in
doorways as well as sounds in the building at night and
unexplained electrical issues. One worker even reported
seeing a shadowy figure inside the building. During
our investigation, we did not have any substantial evidence of
paranormal activity. There were no sounds in the building,
and the pictures and EVP came back clean. In my opinion,
the issues with sheets hung between doorways rising could have
easily been caused by outside wind and pressure changes.
Close inspection of the building showed a gap between the wooden
outer walls and a tent-like roof constructed over it. Any
strong wind would have gone right up under the roof, and in
turn, pressurizing that room. Because there are so many
things run by extension cord and non-hard wired electrical
systems, the electrical phenomenon seems like there is a logical
explanation to it. Even the shadow figure could have been
cast by gaps in the walls and moonlight. The building
itself was very shadowy, especially if you were working by
spotlight or work light. All claims seemed to be logically
explainable in some manor.
Although there were first hand reports
of activity, I think certain natural occurrences have been
mistaken for paranormal activity. We found no evidence
that would substantiate any claims of a haunting, therefore I
would say pending any further investigation of the building, I
would not say that it is haunted.
FINAL EVALUATION: NOT haunted.
