  • America is Haunted

    Just wondering if anyone has ever heard of this Haunted House "America is Haunted"?? They are claiming to be a massive haunted House with over 60 Haunts around the country. They gave an address in the city where we are located and we went to check it out and no one or haunt was there. Thanks for any help you guys can give. Oh, by the way they have a groupon ad and also the phone numbers are either full and cant leave a message and the other number goes to another company that has never heard of "America is Haunted Haunted House". Im pretty sure its a scam but maybe some of you guys know better. Thanks again.

    Saw this groupon for Richmond yesterday. I still can't figure out what the hell is going on with this haunt(s)?

    Here's the website... again, almost no information... http://www.americaishaunted.com/

      Maybe it is just a walking tour?

      You don't need a solid location for a walking tour around an old, historic neighborhood, although they will need some city permits.
      I had a great time doing such tours in New Orleans, years ago.

          This has to be a scam... a total scam. They are selling groupons for these places across the country and some locations list 5 corn mazes, 6 haunted houses blah blah blah... there is no way this is anything but a scam.

          they have ripped off my graphics!

            Getting "Ripped" never feels good.

            Some scammers operate for awhile as the rest of us give them the benefit of a doubt that they really are... scammers!
            I sure wouldn't like my artwork being lifted and said to be someone elses.

              I drove to my location, it is a vacant building that is no way big enough to hold what they claim!!!

              You need to go to their web site and see if they claim to be in your market. Check the location and then post on your sites to warn your customers.

              IF we are proactive instead of reactive we can make this a positive outcome. Groupon needs better fail safes in place. The Groupon offer ends this weekend....(their offices are closed)
              the event doesn't start until Oct. 22...

              I do believe Groupon holds on to the money so how did this guy even think he is getting paid??? He does have Buy ticket buttons plastered all over his site. So he can scam, those sales immediately.


              Post so we can stop this in it's tracks before too many people get hurt and haunted houses get ANOTHER black eye!!!

                  I searched CA Secretary of State's database under every variation of the name that I could think of and, of course, nothing came up.

                    AmericaIsHaunted.com

                    I got this information from my partner about who this person just might be. Seems like there is a trail to follow from the questionable website. please find my partner's research as follows:

                    "Bill,

                    You asked; Who is http://www.americaishaunted.com/?

                    While it seems the creator of this web site has taken reasonable steps to prevent his identity from being known, simple mistakes in the process can “blow the cover”.

                    On the contacts page of this site, the Twitter logo directs to https://twitter.com/americahaunted

                    This Twitter profile shows a website url of http://www.hauntedamericatours.com/

                    The domain registration for hauntedamericatours.com shows the following;

                          I was going to contribute information here the day they appeared on Groupon (at least here in Des Moines), but my forum account only got validated today.

                          It looks like the community did a good job seeing through them, getting their Groupon, Amazon Local, wix.com website and other things pulled within 2 days.
