last night we went to this place called the haunted mill. it's about a 10 minute drive from rexburg. and it's creeeeeepy. they took this abandoned old mill (below) and turned it into the best haunted house i have ever been through. it takes about 30 minutes to make your way through everything.
we got to go with our friends cody and erin. they were so fun. and it was so nice to have another girl there to scream with. my throat is actually sore from screaming so much! erin even teared up a bit right at the start - the guy that welcomes you is unbelievably creepy. and the boys admitted to being scared at times too.
what makes it so creepy?
well, it has the usual haunted house things like people that pop out at you, creepy music, and spooky decorations. but it also has neat illusions - like at one point you think you are getting pushed off a ledge, but it turns out there is a mirror to step on where you think there is nothing. it also doesn't help that you are in the middle of no where, in an abandoned building, in the dark. at some parts it is so dark that you can't even see your hand in front of your face. and some parts are so small that you have to crawl. that was the worst part for me. i got so claustrophobic in the tunnels. you couldn't see a thing, but you could feel the walls touching you on all sides. i have no idea how a big person would make it through there! in those spots we made a train and held onto each others feet as we crawled. last night i kept having nightmares about the mill collapsing while i was in one of the tunnels. i didn't sleep a whole lot!
on a less creepy note, chet sat for the first time yesterday. yay!
and this is just matt and chet bundled for a night walk.
