McKamey Manor: no fuckin' way!



here's a link to a WaPo article that is better than the one linked above, didn't use it above as some may not be able to access it

this part sounds like good fodder for a Patterson Hood song (No One Gets to Huntsville, maybe?):

McKamey said he has invested more than $1 million in the attraction, which is a mobile experience. Guests start in Summertown, but McKamey said he transports them to different locations in Tennessee and rents out other people’s farms and abandoned buildings for the stunts. If participants lasted long enough in the experience, McKamey said they would end up in Huntsville, Ala. No one, however, has ever gotten that far.

I wonder how many times the cops have been called on this place?

I wonder how many times the cops have been called on this place?

From the Nashville Scene article:


Before he gets started, the first thing Russ McKamey has to do is call the cops. From the front porch of a trailer in Summertown, Tenn., he dials a number — “Lawrence County Dispatch,” the woman answers — and informs the operator he’s about to start his show.

“Please, if you get any crazy phone calls from the neighbors, don’t come out here guns a-blazin’,” says McKamey. “We had that happen once before. We don’t wanna do that again.”

The operator laughs. “Yes, we were working that day,” she says.
-------------------------------------
After just a few weeks in his new home, during his second show in Tennessee, cops charged onto the property after a witness reported seeing a screaming woman being dragged from a vehicle. The woman was there consensually, and the cops left without incident, but McKamey now has an agreement with authorities: He’ll give them a heads-up whenever he’s scheduled to give a tour.
------------------------------------
“It’s legal because basically the people that are subjecting themselves to the McKamey program, or whatever you want to call it, they’re doing so voluntarily,” (District Attorney Cooper) says. “That was one thing we went over at length with Mr. McKamey."

I'd try it.

Man there is no fucking way I'm subjecting myself to that.
