FROM SUGGESTIONS CARDS AT HAUNT -
It was awesome. I went on Saturday and it was not scary, I went on Sunday and I screamed like 50 times. Awesome job, I will sure be back next year but the kids might want to go with a person or actor who works there to calm them down. Breanna MacDonald, Palmerston

Independent Plus - Oct 31, 2008 Nightmare on Daly St. a real scream
Every year, just after Halloween, the planning begins for the annual Haunted House at the Palmerston Legion. The planning certainly shows – this year's house was creepier than ever, with some ghoulish new features blended with screamingly entertaining favourites from past years.
The Minto Express- Oct 30, 2007 Nightmare on Daly St.
"Ghoulies and ghosties and long-legged beasties and things that go bump in the night..." The Palmerston Legion's Nightmare on Daly St. haunted house was a Halloween treat for hundreds of youngsters. Screams of nervous laughter and abject terror resonated from the halls as creatures of the night took over. The displays featured some favouties ghouls, and some new items - all the better to scare you with, my dear!
The Minto Express- Oct 31, 2006 Haunting!
The Palmerston Legion's Haunted House had them screaming in the aisles - literally. The Halloween event was better than ever, with some young ghouls choosing to go through the spooky, spider web covered corridors twice. Proceeds from the event go to the hospital.
FROM KEN BREADNER'S BLOG, OCTOBER 29, 2005 -
So tonight we went to the Palmerston Legion's haunted house. It would be an overstatement to say I had low expectations. Let me tell you, I was pleasantly surprised...shocked, actually. A ton of effort went into creating this (very extensive!) haunted house. Many props were used to fantastic and chilling effect: some of the set pieces looked every bit as good as something you'd find in a movie. And yes, there were volunteers there jumping out of the shadows and growling...but I was impressed most of all by the Reaper that just sort of fell in behind me, displacing a bunch of kids, gliding silently. I looked back and thought it was just another customer, dressed up for the occasion...but then looked again and was actually a little spooked. He/it just moved so stealthily, almost as if it was on wheels. And it never made a sound, which was much more frightening than a predictable yell.
The floors were spongy in places: they had a "bottomless well", a big graveyard, some kind of projected flapping green ghost that looked real: all in all, extremely well done. If there weren't so many people both ahead and behind us, it could have been truly scary.
