Haunted Hydro
Located in a former 1910 hydroelectric power plant, it is known for being a one-of-a-kind haunted house.
The attraction is housed within an old hydro plant in Fremont, Ohio. In 2019, the original owners of 30 years put the 6.5-acre property up for sale before it was taken over by new management.
While the Haunted Hydro is known for its scary thrills, it is also home to a couple of its own real hauntings such as the girl in white and the makeup artist. These hauntings do not appear to be threatening though.
"The Hydro was built in 1911 next to the Sandusky River to provide power for Fremont and neighboring cities; hence it’s original designation as the “Hydroelectric Power Plant”. Unfortunately in 1913, unrelenting rains flooded Fremont and broke down part of the plant killing as many as 460 residents in the area. Undaunted, the city rebuilt the plant and reopened it. It provided electrical power supply to the area on and off until 1954. After that it was used as a warehouse and a storage facility for a local golf course, among other things."
History of Haunted Houses
The modern haunted house as a commercialized attraction began in 19th-century London, evolving from macabre wax exhibits and 1915 fairground “ghost houses” to the festive, basement-decorating activities during the American Great Depression.
