The Laboratory of the Haunted House with Margee Kerr

Why do people get scared and how? We ask Dr. Margee Kerr, a scientist who studies the science of fear. She once set up a basement lab in a Halloween haunted house to understand why people sign up to get scared. She found out that going to a house of horror is actually a lot like doing yoga! Find out why, and how to scare a scientist.

Correction: On this episode, we referred to the woman in Sebastin's recording as his mom. She is his step-mom.
