Creepiest Places You Can Spend Your Halloween Night in Oklahoma

While the kids and parents are out trick-or-treating on Halloween evening, some folks are getting ready for their late night Halloween parties. Then, there are real thrill seekers looking for a spookier experience. If you're one of those folks wanting a truly creepy, scary Halloween night, you're in luck.

Why Do We Like Being Scared?

Have you ever got to wondering why you actually enjoy being scared? After all, not everyone enjoys the fright - let alone pay to be frightened. According to research, being scared gives us an adrenaline rush, releasing endorphines and dopamine.

Some folks enjoy the buzz so much so that they look for any opportunity to literally get the blood pumping in their body. That could be any kind of thrill seeking like rodeo, skiing, cliff diving or other ideas - at least this one isn't harmful.

Scaring Is Healthy?

Not in the same way that walking is, but there is research backing the idea that a good fright could help your body in more ways than one. Some general benefits of being scared are:

• problem solving
• exposure therapy (learning to fight your fear of something by understanding it and gradually being exposed to it, in a safe environment)
• cognitive restructuring (learning to recognise your negative thoughts, dispute them, and think of more helpful ways to respond to a situation)
• mindfulness (focusing on the present moment – acknowledging and accepting your thoughts, feelings, and the physical sensations of your body, without labelling them as good or bad)
• relaxation

Do keep in mind that fear is actually a very healthy response; it becomes unhealthy when it makes you more concerned or weary about the world around you more than you need to be (similar to paranoia or anxiety).

A Step Further Than A Haunted House

When you go through a staged "haunt," you know that in the back of your mind, there is no real danger or harm coming to you. Of course, your body will still react the way it's supposed to, but you still just know not to expect anything terrible to happen to you from the experience.
