Fort Wayne's Scariest Haunted House
Asylum Superintendent Dr. Frederic Heigel, a philosophical disciple of Nietzche’s superman, believed that the convention of morality was an obstacle to freedom, that a mind was not truly whole until freed from the illusion of Right and Wrong. His ‘therapies’ were tortures designed to destroy the conscience and blur the lines of good and evil.
Awarded Top Haunt status by the HAA, Haunted Attraction Association (one of only 50 in the USA) and named one of 13 MUST SEE haunts by the Scare Factor, which reviewed us in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024 as one of the BEST haunts in Indiana!
