Scream among the walking dead in the best haunted house in the Fort Wayne Area! The Haunted Jail in downtown Columbia City has been the area’s best haunt since 1991. Celebrating our 24th season, this year promises to be the best year yet with the announcement of a new attraction only a few dare. Rich in history and legend alike, the Haunted Jail has horrified even the most hardcore haunt seeker. Constructed in 1875, the Haunted Jail is located one block east of the courthouse at Columbia City. It is our pleasure to entertain guests from across the country and abroad.

Experience a completely redesigned haunt this season that is more intense and filled with new twists and terror! Your epic, bone chilling trip through the Haunted Jail will give you a never before seen perspective. Deimos Nosferato has been the keeper of souls for centuries and has awakened his tribe of creatures and vamps from the underworld…because it’s time to feed. Many have tried to end Deimos and his blood thirsty family and all have failed.

Deimos Nosferato: The Father Returns Home:
I have missed you all dearly. Join me, this is the season to be captured by the darkness. Either surrender to the darkness or be drained of all that sustains you. It is not enough that I win…everyone else must lose. I will teach you, make you stronger, and together take what is ours. Join me, this is the season to be captured by the darkness. I Can See Your Fear..I can taste your sweetness. And I can feel you as you make me stronger. I hear that noise that you want to make but are too overcome by terror. Now is the time for you to decide. Will you surrender? If you don’t, where will you be when we begin to feed?.

Other Haunted Jail Residents:

Cutter - Landscaper:
Not much of a talker since his mother stitched his mouth shut after one too many times of being told to be seen not heard. He how stalks the halls of the Jail doing just that, as he silently follows his victims to inlfict the same pain he will forever feel.

Bailey - Evil Clown:
Terrifingly beautiful, but watch your back... she loves scaring people to DEATH!

Johnny Voodo - Trickster:
When alive Johnny lived in the haunted French Quarter, where he learned the fine art of voodo magic. The skills he still uses to this day to appear out of nowhere and give jail patrons the fright of their life!

Evil Annie - Zombie:
Shes evil... that much we know. Not much else is known about Annie, except she definately has a taste for young brains!

We will be expecting you at The Haunted Jail soon. The zombies are getting very, very hungry..

  • Email Verified Better than average. The building is great

    1st of all I wanna start out by saying you would not find a better place to have a haunted attraction anywhere. This building is not only historically interesting but it also felt like it really is haunted. You can feel a presence there. No doubt about it. I enjoyed the building and the fact that it was really haunted very much. I found the actors and room settings to be thrown together and not creative enough for the jail. They could do SO much better with this haunt. It's a shame the management of this wonderful jail doesn't have the funding or creativity to make this haunt what it should be.

  • Fun for all.. A place to be!!!!

    They are Ranked Number #5 for a reason... Most think it's rated number #5 because it's the scariest, and if you go for that reason and expecting to be scared out of your mind you would be very wrong.. Columbia City Haunted Jail is ranked #5 because its a haunted attraction! An attraction for everyone of all age's, it's a haunt for the little kiddo's to the very wisest of us all.. I had my fare share of scares, laughs, thrills, wounder, and amazement!! The actors were all very interactive, and some very willing to toss a joke out to you...They took pride in what they were doing, so much that some were hanging upside down to deliver that heart pounding scare.. Others took ques from me to scare my wife, and some were so very scary but yet sexy such as the nurse that looked like she was right out of Silent Hill. Price point was right on the money for the show you get.. This is 4 stories of entertainment about a 15 to 20 min adventure through this 1800 hundreds jail.. This haunt was an actual jail that served the community from the late 1800 hundred's to the mid later 1900 Hundred's.. Their are claims of real spirits of the once living prisoners that never made it out of the jail.. So your getting a chance to to meet up with a real ghost who haunts the building... So you're getting a lot of bang or scare for your buck... Well worth the trip and visit.. So don't go to be scared out of your mind go to have a great time.. If you go with that in your mind you will for sure have a great time...

  • Email Verified Best around and actual haunted place

    Had to check this out because it's listed as a haunted place in Indiana AND is a haunt; it couldn't be better! Fun actors following us the whole time and we will be back again before they board it up for the season.

  • Not sure about this one

    Not sure if this was the best night to attend? Maybe they had some electrical difficulties.. lots of dark areas..that were non interactive..I know it's a haunted house and darkness is a factor,but just seemed to not be running right. Maybe low on staff as there were hardly any scares.. not too sure of I would give it another try or worth the drive. The basement was neat.

    Vampire was spectacular in a very detailed haunt! All the actors seemed real! Much better than Hysterium or the Haunted Castle!

    This place has it all! When you wait in line, actors will walk around and its very entertaining. This HOT Vampire women kept sneaking up on me and my group of friends. IT WAS GREAT! My brother was "turned -on" and scared at the same time! The basement area is horrifying! We are going every weekend this year! CANT WAIT! Hope the "Vampire lady will remember us
