Ghostly Manor, the year-round attraction that started it all, is known for its high-startle scares and special effects. A “haunted mansion” theme, guests walk through this mansion room-to-room with different terrifying scenes in each room of the house, such as the parlor, the kitchen, the hall, and more. There are many different themes and characters to surprise and frighten you!
Also included as part of the Lake EERIE Fearfest are two additional seasonal haunts, Darkmare and Dead in the Water.
Darkmare is a dark maze of terrifying hallways, filled with laser lights and haze, to keep you constantly guessing. Don’t get lost in the maze!
Dead in the Water is the attraction’s newest haunt, debuting in 2018. This attraction comes with a warning…you may get wet! Complimentary ponchos are provided to guests to prevent wet hair and clothing. The scenario in this haunt is a cursed ship and includes the deck, the galley, the sleeping quarters, and more. Guests will be startled by mermaids, sirens, and sea monsters like a kraken.
Lake Eerie Fearfest promises to keep guests constantly on their toes with scares from all directions!
