Halloween - The Orton and Spooner Ghost House

Time: 1915

Place: Liphook, England, United Kingdom

Details: The first recorded purpose-built haunted attraction was the Orton and Spooner Ghost House, which opened in 1915 in Liphook, England. This attraction actually most closely resembles a carnival fun house, powered by steam. The House still exists, in the Hollycombe Steam Collection.
