About this event

Let your worst night terrors set sail during The USS Nightmare. A haunted attraction stationed on the banks of the Ohio River, dare to climb aboard an actual historic 1934 steam-powered dredge boat named The William S. Mitchell. Legend has it that the ship, named after its captain, is responsible for over 112 crew member casualties within its 45 years of active service. Nicknamed the “Death Dredge,” explore two decks of pure horror as you experience a hair-raising atmosphere filled with horrific creatures, scary illusions and pheromonal activity throughout the 277.5’L x 84’W vessel. 15% of attendees are said to have jumped ship during the frightful excursion. Will you endure the attraction's turbulence or abandon ship? The choice is yours. Tickets for this gruesome event are on sale now.
