About The Dent Schoolhouse

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.

Put vasoline on some of the props to make them look wet for realism. Use the chainsaws less inside the building Because of the fumes.
