Many of the stories in the 'Haunted Ohio Book' could be a blend of fact and fiction.

Well, it's a bit of a mixed bag. There are definitely stories out there where kids have reported seeing apparitions or feeling a strange presence.

The special effects and the overall design of the attraction are what really bring these fictional ghost stories to life.

Not usually. Haunted house stories are often products of imagination or inspired by folklore and myths rather than actual real-life experiences. However, some people might claim they've had real encounters, but it's hard to verify those claims.

Some haunted stories are inspired by real events, but many are purely fictional creations.
