Hey Canes! These are the most recommended haunted houses in this area! Let us know what you think!

Personal Recommendation- Ghost Lake 

Ghost Lake is in Conneaut Lake Park in Crawford County, it includes an epic 13 levels and takes around 2 hours to complete. Ranging from a meat market of cannibals to a clown horror house chock full of tetanus, to even a haunted asylum from 1886 haunted by the patients and the church folks who took care of them. It does have places to get food, and you will often see some residents wandering the area, but be careful not to get too close, we don’t want any missing appendages. The actors will touch your shoulders and ankles, but nowhere on your torso. It sits at 3.7 stars.

10. Hill View Manor

Hill View is in New Castle and uses strobe lights, jump scares, and general disorientation to scare you. It is an indoor-outdoor haunt. It does not have any food or drink and in fact, recommends that you do not bring any to the Manor. During the evening and day, you can do a tour, and they offer public and private investigations of the former nursing/poor home. It sits at 4.4 stars.

9. Pennhurst Asylum
