Home Haunter to Professional Haunt

Think of your home or residence as a training center for getting better at all elements of being a Haunter. You can practice set design, scare acting, makeup, prop building, and crowd control. Start in your garage and then turn it into a business.

Grim's Reminders:

You don't have to spend a ton of money to scare people. Spend your resources on the three "S"s: Scare Actors, Set Design, & Safety

Instead of building an attraction from scratch, are there any used Haunts for sale?

If you started a mini-haunt in your garage and built new scenes each year; over a few years you'd have enough to start a small professional haunted attraction.

Go to auctions, estate sales, flea markets, trash-cleanup, etc to find filler furniture and props to fill up your haunt areas.

Note: For additional parameters available for this method, see Global parameters for methods. The following table shows parameters most relevant to or specific to this method.

keyvaluedescriptionid requiredtableWhen you specify this method, you must also specify "type": "table" in the field's parameters.columns requiredarrayAn array of objects with the following parameters:
-id (required): The id for the column in the extraction output.
-minX (required): The distance in inches on the page from the left edge of the page to the left edge of the column. To visually determine this coordinate, click a point in the document in the Sensible app, then drag to display inch dimensions.
-maxX (required): The distance in inches on the page from the left edge of the page to the right edge of the column. To visually determine this coordinate, click a point in the document in the Sensible app, then drag to display inch dimensions.
-type: The table cell's type. For more information about types, see Types.
-isRequired (default false): If true, Sensible omits a row if its cell is empty in this column. If false, Sensible returns nulls for empty cells in the row. Note that if you set this parameter to true for one column, Sensible omits the row for all columns, even if the row had content under other columns.

Tip: You can define columns with overlapping coordinates, for example in order to output data in a single column as multiple columns. For more information, see the Examples section.offsetYnumber in inches.Defines a starting point for recognizing a table, offset vertically from the anchor line's lower boundary.
For example, if no table title precedes the table, then anchor instead on a column heading and use a negative Offset Y parameter to define a starting point above the table.

Matches tables based on column coordinates in inches and returns their collated column contents. Anchor on the table title, or use a negative Offset Y parameter to enable anchoring on a column heading.

This method's advantages are:

It's faster than other table methods because it doesn't use table recognition.
It can extract unusally formatted tables that other table methods can't recognize.

Its disadvantage is that it's more limited than other table methods, because it relies on line alignment to find the table.
