Are you sure you're ready for this terrifying journey through the heartland of America as we explore the dark history, creepy folklore, and chilling paranormal activity tied to some of the United States' most haunted abandoned places? From an overgrown coal mining town where ghostly prospectors and terrifying monsters lurk, to a deserted amusement park offering thrills that cross the boundary between life and death... each stop on this adventure delves through the very real horrors hidden on the fringes of the Land of Opportunity. Dare to brave a forgotten subway line that might just take its riders straight in to the depths of hell. And what really lingers within the ruins of a weathered old castle perched in the middle of the hottest desert on Earth? Beware, some of these locations WILL hit close to home. Do you really want to know what's out there waiting for you just beyond the safety of your own backyard?
