Top Pick for the 2016 Halloween Season: The Parker House Haunted Attraction - Denton, TX
Presented by DFW Fright Nights Inc., The Parker House Haunted Attraction in Denton is a haunt that was inspired by true ghost stories that surrounded the location. Over 65 years ago, Old Man Parker, his wife Nancy and daughter Mary opened their home to families who experienced deaths of loved ones. Until the 1940's, families would keep their deceased family members in their homes until the time came for them to be buried. The Parker House ended up being a spot for families to do just this, which means an enormous amount of dead bodies were brought to the home before they were set to rest.
The Parker's called the place "The Parker's Funeral Home" and they quickly began to see profit from the endeavor. But then came the big businesses, which made the funeral home go downhill. Mary began to salvage parts of the dead bodies to resell on the black market, removing their organs without letting family members know. After some time, Mary began to lure her victims in order to keep the morgue alive and booming, telling runaways and the homeless that she'd give them a job and a place to stay. Once they followed her into her trap, she would remove their body parts in the most horrific ways and get rid of the remains in the graveyard or cremation chamber.
The attraction features three haunts in one, including The Parker's Mortuary, The Parker Plantation and Ratliff's Sanitarium. Celebrate the Halloween Season and find out who (or what) resides within the Parker House - that is, if you dare!
