Why do we want to feel scared in the first place? The Today Show did a story on this recently and their reasoning makes sense. According to the article, “There’s also a hormonal component when it comes to fear and enjoyment. The hormonal reaction we get when we are exposed to a threat or crisis can motivate this love of being scared. The moment we feel threatened, we feel increasingly more strong and powerful physically, and more intuitive emotionally. This charge to our physical and mental state is called an “adrenaline rush,” and as humans we are apparently hard-wired to be drawn to this type of feeling.”
Regardless of the reason we want to feel scared, taking a trip to any one of these 10 places should be a bucket list event for the biggest Halloween fans this season. There are 10 days left until Halloween, so check out the list and choose wisely.
