| Ohio
Valley Haunts is a haunted attraction review group descended from a gathering
of "haunted house" enthusiasts. |
| We've
worked in haunts, decorated our homes, and continued the traditions of
Halloween we fell in love with as kids. |
| Every
October, this group of friends would visit every Haunted House we could
find. Sometimes just two or three of us, but |
| often
more. I recall one night, seven or eight years ago riding that crazy
schoolbus as it sped wrecklessly down that winding |
| hill
on our way to The Loveland Castle! Gosh! There must've been
20 of us!! The bus screeched around a curve a little too fast |
| and
Heather (my girlfriend at the time) bounced off her seat, and landed in
the aisle! And we all laughed - oh boy, did we laugh! |
| That
bus ride is gone now - no longer a part of the Loveland Castle experience.
But the memories of it, and many more like it remain. |
| As
do the fond recollections of The WSAI Haunted House, Night of Fright, Nightmare
Estates, The Mill of Fear, and on, and on. |
| Gary
officially named us "Ohio Valley Haunts" in 2002, and began posting reviews
on various message boards. I carried that |
| one
step further, and began uploading his comments as an addition to my personal
home page. Fast forward a few years, and we |
| have
our own domain name (acquired in '06), and links originating from much
larger sites like Scary Ohio and cincinnati.com. |
| There
have been other members of OVH through the years, but the core group pictured
above has been around since day one. |
| Honorable
mention goes out to past or part-time members Kristoffer, David, Erin,
Tracy, and Rick. We miss you guys! It's my |
| hope
that through the writings on these pages, I'm able to inspire some of you
to gather some family and friends together, and |
| get
out and enjoy some of this excitement and happiness for yourselves, by
partaking in the fun this industry I love has to offer. |
