Extreme ‘haunted house’ experience left woman with shocking injuries after she was beaten, tortured and waterboarded in ordeal posted online
Amy Milligan visited notorious McKamey Manor in San Diego
A CALIFORNIA woman has claimed she feared for her life after being waterboarded at a haunted house branded the 'world's scariest'.
Amy Milligan said she was traumatised by her visit to McKamey Manor in San Diego - a one-of-a-kind attraction which boasts a waiting list of thousands.
Visitors to the unique house are subjected to background checks by founder Russ McKamey - and all guests are required to sign a waiver due to the sheer stress the ordeal can cause.
According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, Milligan showered the establishment with praise during her exit interview as she wanted the video footage of her experience to be published online as evidence.
The shocking video - which has apparently been edited to remove the worst aspects of the experience - shows her being pushed, slapped and pulled around.
Another part of the clip shows her lying in a dirty freezer, as the haunted house's actors chuck water over her head.
Milligan claimed in another unseen stunt, the actors repeatedly pushed her head underwater despite her begging them to stop.

Describing the experience, she explained to the Union-Tribune: "‘My hair is wrapping around my neck and I start freaking out. I’m telling them I can’t breathe and they’re just laughing and doing it more."
Meanwhile, she also alleged she was forced to lie down in a shallow, caged pool of water with her hand tied - and accused the haunted house of leaving her with both physical and emotional scars.
She said: "I cry over every little thing. If I hear about McKamey Manor, I freak out.
"You give them so much trust and they just break it by waterboarding you and slapping you."
Milligan informed police of her ordeal, but didn't file a report.
But slamming the claims, Russ McKamey insisted everyone who visits the Manor knows exactly what they're getting into - including that they will feel like they're drowning.
He told the Union-Tribune: "We do not waterboard, we do not even kind of waterboard.
"It’s psychological what we’re doing. They’re safe all the time."
However, McKamey, who reportedly invested over $500,000 (around £410,000) in the haunted house, also suggested a small number of 'haters' ignore the warnings, only to then make accusations of torture and assault.
