A woman has said that she was tortured while actors laughed at her during a tour of a haunted house experience in San Diego, USA.
Amy Milligan said she remembers her face being continuously shoved under water, despite pleading with the actors at McKamey Manor to stop because she couldn't breathe.
Russ McKamey, the owner of McKamey Manor, said that the 'tour' is designed to be a survival, horror experience.
But Milligan believes that she was left traumatised by the whole experience after claiming she was waterboarded, among other forms of torture.

She told the San Diego Union Tribune that she remembers thinking: "I'm going to die here, I'm going to drown.
"My hair is wrapping around my neck and I start freaking out. I'm telling them I can't breathe and they're just laughing and doing it more."

Making matters somewhat more confusing, Milligan gave the experience a positive review in her 'exit interview' and also said that she did not feel like she had been tortured.
However, she has recently revealed that she only did this so that the company would produce the video of her 'tour'. She planned to later use it as evidence against them.

The footage, which was uploaded to YouTube on January 31, 2015, shows Amy being blindfolded and bundled into a van. Later she is seen tied up in an emptied freezer chest as water is squeezed over her face. The video suggests that she lasted 20 minutes. According to McKamey, no one has yet completed the full eight-hour horror tour.
Some people may find this footage distressing.

Milligan claims that the worst part of the experience has been edited out of the video.
In a statement that McKamey asks his participants to read, it says that they "may well leave with bumps, cuts, bruises and other possible injuries, including broken bones."
Although McKamey clearly states in a video from The Guardian that he does torture his 'guests' with waterboarding, he has told San Diego Union Tribune otherwise. "We do not waterboard, we do not even kind of waterboard," he said.
I can't get my head around paying to be tortured myself. The whole experience looks and sounds like hell. I feel like I'm watching someone's fetish being played out in the video above.
