Step into the Dent Haunted Schoolhouse, an 1896-built school plagued by a gruesome legend: janitor Charlie McFree allegedly murdered dozens of students over 10–20 years, hiding their bodies in the basement until the stench alerted the town. Now, the restless spirits of lost children—and McFree himself—haunt its halls. Consistently ranked among America’s top haunts.

Almost 9 hour drive to check. This place off the list and man was it worth it! Everything top notch. Also I really wanna shout out the staff . When yo... u pay for instant access you get just that . Soon as we got tickets we were ushered straight inside. I appreciate the hell out of that. We’ve had a haunt be a total ripoff with “instant access” this year . So thank you Dent! See you again! Hoping to see Charlie next time!Read More

This was an awesome attraction! The theming was great, even in the queue just before you get in. There’s an amazing attention to detail to much of the... house, and the set design is top-notch. The scare actors and staff did a phenomenal job! One criticism I do have: it does feel a bit odd to have different sections of the house that feel like they belong in their own house, with the clown section being a perfect example that sticks out. It was well done, but it didn’t feel like I was going through a haunted schoolhouse at that point. The experience could be much stronger if they put more focus on the schoolhouse theme throughout, and tie the different sections together with that common thread. Overall, I’d recommend going to Dent Schoolhouse, and can’t wait to visit again soon!Read More
Suggested Improvements:
Either tie the different themed sections together with the schoolhouse theme or have different houses that present those themes on their own. I’d love... to see a clown/carnival themed house from these guys, I feel like they’d knock it out of the park!Read More
