n. Darkmare – In the late 1860’s, an oversized merchant ship traveled across Lake Erie to an unknown destination. Thought to be transporting 50,000 metric tons of coal, the carrier mysteriously disappeared overnight. Legend has it that an unknown spirit forced the cargo to the deepest, darkest depths of Lake Erie. A container hidden aboard the bulk freighter, carried the bodies of the world’s most feared killers who had been tortured to death. The container was recovered, only to find it was still intact and chained closed with thousands of pounds of steel and locks. After years in total darkness under water, the container was opened and those who entered never returned. Do you dare enter Darkmare? Dead in the Water - Dr. Syman Starck, a marine biologist, spent his life searching for a discovery that would make him a legend. Starck built the largest man made exploration cage and pitched it into the Nasbian Sea, the most bacteria ridden, deadly water in the entire world. Taken from Starck’s personal illustrations, many believe that organisms thriving in the underworld were trapped in the cage, starving and unable to escape. Modern day machinery was able to haul the mysterious cage out of the water. The cage is said to be the home of hungry beings who hold a grudge against mankind. Lake Eerie Fearfest bought the cage at auction and brings it out for its’ first public display this haunt season. Enter the cage that Dr. Starck died for. It’s an outdoor haunted hunt where you are the prey amongst the underworlds’ most feared.
