Steve Gantner and Dave Stutzman talk with Jared Bilsak, a licensed architect and haunted house owner, about the intersection of architecture and Halloween attractions. They explore the origins of Jared's passion for haunted houses, the challenges he faced in establishing the Lincoln Mill Haunted House, and the unique backstory that adds depth to the attraction. The discussion also touches on the impact of Hurricane Ida on the building and the extensive restoration efforts required to transform it into a haunted house.
