The US now has an astonishing number of permanent haunted house attractions. You can find one in most major cities. In smaller towns and rural areas, they spring up like clockwork in October, often to raise money for schools and charities. Those seasonal haunted houses offer temporary jobs, and sooner or later you'll know several people who have worked at one or more. Occasionally, someone will go to AskReddit and collect funny stories from people who have worked haunted house attractions. Their tales are a scream!
Every once in a while, you'll hear one that is just plain heartwarming.
