A new attraction in the Summertown area is described as the television show Fear Factor on steroids, by owner of the roughly two rural acres, Russ McKamey

However, neighbors claim what he's doing there is so terrifying, they can't let their kids outside.

McKamey Manor, the owner says, is the world's most extreme haunted house. He said it requires a doctor's note, background check and the signing of a waiver before entering.

McKamey said the attraction is not dangerous, but that it's all psychological. McKamey claims that every single thing that may happen inside the tour is described to the participant.

Lawrence County Commissioner Scott Franks said at issue is the area is not zoned residential.

The Lawrence County Sheriff said he has met with the district attorney, county executive and county attorney to discuss the concerns over McKamey Manor. McKamey said he wants to speak to the officials and has been reaching out to talk to them.
