Welcome to HAUNTED at SLOSS FURNACES Signature Event! 

HAUNTED at SLOSS FURNACES is hosted and staffed by the original HAUNTED team, Chris Allen and Zea Miller; we are delighted to add Omar Zuaiter and Haroon Khouly to our hosting team. We have moved HAUNTED to a new home at the historic Sloss Furnaces, which has been featured in Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures, Ghost Asylum, and dozens of other paranormal tv shows and podcasts. 

Get ready for one of the most anticipated Signature Events of the year!  

We will contact you closer to the event with more details including directions, site maps, times, and food information. Participants will be required to submit the VEX liability release form as well as the Sloss Furnaces Liability Release Form through robotevents.com or in person at the event. Costumes are always welcome and closed toe shoes are REQUIRED.

This event is live-streamed on YouTube. All competition fields will be raised.
