Haunted barn story & video

In honor of Halloween, a fellow reporter and I visited a couple of Douglas County haunted houses and wrote a story about them.

We visited the Metz Hill Haunted Barn, which is about 20 miles north of Roseburg. This was easily the scariest haunted house I’ve ever visited. So many creepy little things waiting in every direction you turn. I wrote the portion of the story about Metz Hill.

I also filmed and edited a video about Metz Hill, so you can see for yourself how spooky it is. In retrospect, I wish I would have had an actor or the organizer talk about costumes because my transition is a little rough — just another bit of knowledge to take with me next time I do a video.

We also visited a smaller haunted house put on by the Roseburg Elks Lodge. It was more of a family-friendly event than the Metz Hill barn, but was still fun. Cara Pallone, my co-worker, wrote this portion of the story.

Here’s the link to the story and my video.

Our photographer, Jon Austria, also had some great photos from both the house and the barn. Here’s the link to the photo gallery, if you’re interested.

Enjoy!
