Happy Halloween!
It’s very true. Haunted house is full of creepy things. The room is dark with eerie sounds, like zombie laughing, screaming. But the most scared part is you walk in a silent darkness for a sec when you hit something suddenly. I visited once. I don’t want to go back

I remember the ghost train or tunnel of love, as it is also known while visiting an amusing park. Hilarious, riding a boat through a water-filled and dark canal. You could hear the girls screaming with fear at hearing eerie sounds and being scared by ghostly figures.
