Shawn and Lynne Mitchell began home haunting in Pensacola, Florida in 2006. What began as a small Halloween party evolved over the years into a full walk-through cemetery and DIY haunted house experience for friends and neighbors. The Mitchell's started self-publishing the, How to Haunt Your House, book series in 2009. They built up a solid following of international home haunters through the books and website, www.howtohauntyourhouse.com. They have also appeared on several Halloween TV specials (The Great Halloween Fright Fight on ABC & Halloween Tricked Out on HGTV), as well as other media outlets. The Mitchell family along with their three terror-ific kids have returned and The Best of How to Haunt Your House has been resurrected.
