VIENNA, Ohio- October 5, 2009 Most people know Sandusky for its well-knows amusement park, but members of the Darkride and Funhouse Enthusiasts (DAFE) know a secret. Sandusky is home to one of their Favorite Walkthrough Attractions. As a matter of fact, Ghostly Manor has been on the top ten list for the last 5 years and in the top five for the last two years.


DAFE members know what they like, most have them have been all over the US searching the dark for interesting attractions and a few have gone as far as Japan looking for new thrills.

DAFE Director Rick Davis said "A few of our members discovered Ghostly Manor several years ago while visiting Cedar Point and were so impressed that they started telling their friends. Ghostly Manor hosted a DAFE event in 2007 and introduced more of our members to what lurks in the dark. Our survey results show that the Manor has become a ‘must do' when in Sandusky."

Davis pointed out that DAFE does not rank Halloween haunts which only appear for a short time in October. Davis said that "Our members are asked for their favorite amusement park and stand-alone attractions that operate full time or during the summer season." He added that Ghostly Manor is one of the few "haunt's' that operated outside of the traditional Halloween season.
