Review This HauntMind blowing experience
Good job..very fun for the whole family! I was there for the paranormal hunting and it was a mind blowing experience. Got to spend a whole night in the haunted mansion. It was professionally executed. We were taught how to go about it. We were given equipment and also a training on how to use it.
Scare Factor: Fun Factor: Haunt Value: Frightened to the core
Shocktober was special in many ways. It made us feel the presence of ghost during the paranormal hunting. The haunted mansion with the set up spoofs made us feel frightened to the core as we know it is really haunted. It was really tricky. Loved it.
Scare Factor: Fun Factor: Haunt Value: Email Verified Fun & entertaining
It was fun & entertaining. House was maintained well and there was nothing wrong in the first look. But as we explored, the mansion turned out to be my worst nightmare. Animatronics were great and used well with perfect timing. Had lots of fun. Thanks to the team.
Scare Factor: Fun Factor: Haunt Value: Email Verified Great experience
Paxton manor was a great experience as always. It was our fifth year in a row and we make it a point to attend both the attraction. The haunted mansion with its creepy 32 rooms took our breath away. It was in the dim hours. That itself was an eerie feeling. Everyone was friendly. Recommended.

Scare Factor: Fun Factor: Haunt Value: Email Verified OMG!!....
OMG!! I was quite scared, the house was completely dark. Fantastic visuals and great scares. We were given a break every hour which was such a relief. We could carry food and snacks and they provide us with coffee. Caught a few untoward moments and we were thrilled.

Fantastic ambience. Very fun paranormal hunting. The actors were brilliant. The props used had rustic realistic feel. Very safe and professional.
Scare Factor: Fun Factor: Haunt Value: Email Verified Had a great time!
Had a great time! The all night ghost hunt is only for the bravest of heart. They gave us an intro on the technique and the equipment used, which was really helpful. I was nervous. The thought that we had to investigate in the dark sent a shock wave through me. It was a great way to celebrate your Halloween.
