Ghost Lake – Conneaut – Haunt Level 2

Don’t come looking for us if we’re not back in an hour.

So glad of you to join us at haunt level 2 at Ghost Lake, the haunted attraction located at Conneaut Lake Park, Conneaut, PA. After we ate our $5 dollar order of fries and our $3 dollar corn dog we set out to the first attraction. The Fog!

The first haunt level was The Fog. It was touted as a 600 foot long maze filled with fog, strobe lights, scary sounds, music, and monsters. I have to admit, Ghost Lake was not looking so good right now. Here are three more photos from The Fog.

I was disappointed with The Fog. I was expecting much more. To make it better, perhaps they should have had “Live” actors inside scaring the customers.

I took the following video inside The Fog. The music was alright, the fog inside was cool, but seriously, a few spinning lights and a few cheesy amateurish props was all it had.

The next level of haunt was The Devil’s Den. There was no sign leading to it, but we knew where the old Devils Den dark ride was so we walked on down to it. The write up in the paper said the ride would be running. It wasn’t running. The tracks were covered with wood and it was a walk through attraction.

The following is a video taken inside the Devil’s Den. It’s mostly dark, but Patrick and I narrate through it. And I almost fell down again.

The Devil’s Den was certainly an upgrade to The Fog. Although the video is mostly dark, this attraction had some redeeming qualities. One, it was pitch dark and you had to navigate by touch. (A great attraction for young lovers if you know what I mean) The uneven floor made it even more tricky to move through. Second, actors would grab your feet and legs as you passed by. Most haunts don’t do this anymore. It was a nice touch. Third, it was a maze, and there were no signs or hints as to where to go next or if the attraction was over or not.

The next level was the Maze Of Madness. We didn’t have to worry about finding it. It found us. At the end of The Devil’s Den, we encountered this lovely lass. She announced that this was the start of the Maze Of Madness and asked us for our tickets to punch.

The following video is from the inside of the Maze Of Madness. Again, its mostly a dark attraction, but plenty of narration and spooky sounds.

This was pretty much exactly the same as The Devils Den. Plenty of actors screaming, yelling, jumping out of the darkness, lunging at you. They did a good job here. At one part, toward the end, they reenacted the girl crawling out of the TV from the movie, The Ring. I missed most of it and waited for the actor to reset but she didn’t. I guess one to a customer. Maybe she was shy!!!

OK, we had just survived the first three levels of haunt and we began looking for the haunted Cemetery. In fact, the write up in the paper said there were two cemeteries. Hopefully they weren’t anywhere near the tent and the bodyless head and transforming man.

Haunt Level 3 was The Cemetery, Freddies House, and Clown Town. Patrick and I looked around. The setting was perfect. It was a cool dark night in October. Alone in an abandoned amusement park. Walking past a haunted graveyard on the way to Elm Street to visit Freddie Krueger’s, house. Evil clowns roaming the town awaited us. And don’t forget the crown jewel, Haunted Hotel Conneaut and the legend of bride Elizabeth.
