A local woman and students from Mountain High School are working hard on creating a haunted house to “scare” up funds for clubs and other needs at the school. “Me and my friend and brother are really into Halloween,” said Katie Shaw who is using her own yard as a big spook alley. “We were looking at props in a storage unit in Kaysville and the woman selling it had cancer and couldn’t do the haunted house anymore. All the proceeds were going to Mountain High School. We ended up buying the whole thing, including the charity portion.” Last year was the first for Shadows of Fear. “The Mountain High kids have been very involved from beginning to end,” said Shaw. TEACHER SAVANNAH COOK (left) works with students from Mountain “They help scare, set up and do the business High School to create a spooky atmosphere for a haunted house in Kaysville.
