The attraction takes guests on a journey through an interactive living story featuring more than 40 live scare-actors, production quality sets, props, animatronics, and breath-taking special effects.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">The attraction is intended to be very scary during evening hours. The owners want it to be the scariest haunted house in the greater Philadelphia region. Mission accomplished &#8212; it is scary.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">While most haunted house attractions have a lot of room for props and actors, Lincoln Mill has a limited area. As a result, the 20-minute walk through the attraction features many tight spaces, sharp turns, sections that are pitch black, scary props and a slew of live-scare actors doing what they do best.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">The attraction\u2019s backstory emerged from a tragic event that occurred in 2021. On September 2, 2021, Hurricane Ida struck Philadelphia and flooded the Mill to historic water levels.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">The flood significantly damaged the mill\u2019s interior and revealed a hidden chamber located below the basement level. Countless bodies were found, and a dark truth was discovered about the mill\u2019s past.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Local authorities determined that during the 1930\u2019s, Viktor Kane, the mill owner, tormented and experimented on his workers. Countless workers lost their lives, and their spirits continue to haunt the mill. Construction has since been halted and the mill will open up for guests to experience its dark past for themselves.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Lincoln Mill Haunted House has issued a challenge &#8212; explore the Chamber, if you dare.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">The main haunted house event will run at night Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday now through November 2.
