It's spooky season and some of North Carolina's best haunted attractions are right here in Fayetteville! There's some solid science behind the allure of safe, scary adventures. People are drawn to Halloween haunted houses and trails for a variety of psychological and social reasons. The controlled fear experienced in these attractions triggers a rush of adrenaline, endorphins, and dopamine in the brain, creating an exhilarating "fight-or-flight" response without any real danger. This biochemical surge can produce a natural high, similar to the runner's high, leaving people feeling energized and euphoric afterwards.

Haunted houses also offer a form of escapism, allowing people to immerse themselves in fantastical and thrilling scenarios far removed from everyday life. The elaborate sets, costumes, and special effects create a captivating alternate reality.
