Via Mortis - Macabre Tourism & Haunted Attractions

Haunted Attractions

The Screaming Cellar

They sealed the cellar in 1903 after the last surveyor refused to describe what he'd found. We unsealed it. The stairs go further down than the building plans suggest.

Perceptual Horror Est. 1923

Mirror Maze of Souls

The mirrors were recovered from a condemned psychiatric facility in Vienna. Staff reported that reflections would continue moving after patients had left the room.

Extreme Experience By appointment

Extreme Hauntings

Our most restricted experience. Requires a signed waiver and a companion. We have never disclosed what happens inside. The 40% completion rate speaks for itself.

Medical Horror Est. 1902

Surgeon's Theatre

Dr. Ashworth's operating theatre has been preserved exactly as it was found — instruments laid out, table stained, the overhead lamp still warm. He was never apprehended.

True Crime Rotating exhibits

Famous Crimes

Walk the reconstructed scenes of crimes that were never solved. Every detail is forensically accurate. Some visitors report noticing details that have since vanished.

Paranormal Nightly, midnight

The Midnight Séance

A genuine medium. A genuine circle. We make no claims about what will or will not respond. Sessions are recorded. You will receive your recording within 48 hours.

What Remains

The building at Glendower Avenue was condemned in 1959. It was not purchased. It was inherited — by an organization that does not appear in any public registry. Renovation began in 1987 and has never officially ended.

We do not employ actors. We do not use props. Every artifact in our collection is authentic, acquired through channels we are not at liberty to discuss. The experiences you will have here are not simulated.

Previous visitors have reported lingering effects — a persistent feeling of being observed, difficulty sleeping in dark rooms, an aversion to mirrors. These reports have not been investigated. We advise you to visit during daylight hours, though we are only open after dark.

Documented Observations

The Lower Corridor

"The guide told us not to look at the end of the corridor on the lower level. I looked. I have not been able to describe it accurately to anyone."

The Mirror Room

"My husband and I disagree about what we saw in the mirror room. We have not discussed it since."
