The Route 6 Motel – Haunted House
The Route 6 Motel is reported to be so scary that they have a safe-word. It was a real motel from 1955 to the mid-1970’s when ‘accidents’ and disappearances forced the owner to close it. It stood empty for 40 years, but it is now part of the Cavendish Beach Adventure Zone. You can crawl, walk or sprint through the pitch-black Route 6 Motel’s haunted halls or if you’re too scared, stop and scream “check out!” three times and a staff member will help you get out of the haunted hotel.
