Spirits on Sproat—which has been featured multiple times on Svengoolie’s television program and in The Chicago Tribune, and was named a Hall of Fame Haunt by The Horror Tourers—gets thousands of visitors each season. Visitors enjoy two unique scavenger hunt games that you can play on your smartphone or on laminated sheets provided at the haunt, humorous signage describing each character, creepy horror movie music mixed with sound effects, light projection special effects, and everyone's favorite knife-wielding Michael Myers and hockey-mask-wearing Jason Vorhees in addition to other live scarers.
Spirits on Sproat will be open to the public this season for a record 24 nights this year (weather permitting).
