The Chimera House is an urban legend which consists of the usual young teens going out for a night on the town, only to stumble across a large, worn down building about 3-5 stories tall where they are offered to go on a "ride" that consists of "real" horrors inside. In the story, the teens are asked to pay a certain amount of money (anywhere from 20-100 dollars) and told they will receive a portion back for every floor they complete.

  • The Chimera House is an urban legend which consists of the usual young teens going out for a night on the town, only to stumble across a large, worn down building about 3-5 stories tall where they are offered to go on a "ride" that consists of "real" horrors inside. In the story, the teens are asked to pay a certain amount of money (anywhere from 20-100 dollars) and told they will receive a portion back for every floor they complete. The twist is that no one has ever completed the house, and the ones who tried never came back out. Rumors state about the various horrors inside the house, from poisonous/deadly animals, to deformed humans, to the supernatural. The legend is usually set in the south or midwest since there are a large amount of open and unknown areas in those parts. Of course, the Chimera House has never been proven to exist, though some people still search ferverently for it.
  • キメラ・ハウス(Chimera House)は、主にアメリカ合衆国で語られる、都市伝説の一種。 共通する形式としては、深夜、3階建てから5階建て程度の巨大なビル内で、（遊園地にあるような）乗り物に乗って様々な恐怖をくぐりぬけるというアトラクション（いわゆる「ライド」）が開催されている。参加者はいくらかの金銭（おおむね20ドルから100ドルの間が多いという）を支払うが、フロアを制覇する毎に参加者は対価を得ることが出来ると説明される。 フロア毎に恐怖をかきたてる様々な仕掛けが施されているとされ、凶暴であったり、あるいは毒を持った生物やゾンビが待ち受けてたり、様々な超常現象が起こったり、など、その内容には様々なバリエーションがあるが、概ね聞き手の生理的嫌悪感・恐怖感を煽るものである事が多い。 そして、大抵は「しかし、誰一人全ての階を踏破したものはいない」あるいは「参加した人間の誰一人として戻って来る事は無かった」と言う形で結ばれる。 アメリカ南部や中西部が舞台となる場合が多い。当然ながら、他の都市伝説と同様にその実在が証明された事はない。
