THE HAUNTED HYDRO – THE CURRENT NEVER DIES
THE INCIDENT
Years ago, a violent storm ruptured the walls of the aging 1910 hydroelectric plant. Decades of neglect, unstable systems, and experimental chemicals hidden deep in its chambers gave way. The turbines exploded. The dam failed. And the river flooded everything downstream.
The town below was wiped out. Families drowned. Homes were swallowed. The flood choked the earth with sludge and chemical runoff. Dozens were never found—swallowed whole by the river and buried beneath layers of black mud.
But the Hydro Plant never truly shut down.
Trapped inside was Elias Varn, the facility's lead engineer and underground scientist. He was working on secret bio-electric tests—fusing organic matter with hydroelectric energy and toxins produced by the plant's runoff. After the disaster, he was declared dead.
He was very much alive.
THE DESCENT OF ELIAS VARN
Cut off from the world, Elias lost his grip on humanity. He used what the flood brought him—dead animals, twisted wildlife, the occasional human corpse washed into his tunnels.
With the plant's backup generators and failed containment labs, he built a living lab. Combining science with madness, Elias reanimated flesh using power surges, sludge-soaked wiring, and unstable compounds created by years of environmental rot.
Many of his creations failed. Some survived. And a few escaped.
THE RIVER CULT: EDISON BATES
Years after the flood, Edison Bates, a former Hydro technician and old friend of Elias, returned. A man once broken by guilt and radiation sickness, he vanished into the woods… only to emerge years later preaching about “The Surge”—a divine wave of rebirth through hydro-energy and mutation.
He founded a fringe cult in the woods along the river, claiming he receives visions from Elias. He calls Elias “The Conductor.”
Bates and his followers—drifters, vagrants, and former workers—built Fog Harbor, a sanctuary of scavenged wreckage: rusted cars, scrap metal, and bone-laced shrines. They built shrines from wrecked machinery, wear power line robes, and believe they are the chosen to inherit Elias’ new kingdom of reanimated perfection.
Two Haunts. One Nightmare
Enter Fog Harbor, where the cult of Edison Bates waits in the forest.
Brave The Hydro Complex, where Elias Varn continues his twisted experiments.
Two worlds. Two terrors. Bound forever by the current that never dies.

⚠️ A Quick Heads-Up Before You Enter
At the Haunted Hydro, you’re stepping into a fully immersive haunted environment — complete with wooded trails, old industrial spaces, and high-intensity scenes. While we do offer an Extreme Experience (identified by white shirts) that involves direct contact, fake blood, and close interaction, regular patrons may occasionally come into indirect contact with these elements.
That means there’s a chance you could get a small amount of our washable fake blood, dirt, or other show materials on your clothing — usually from bumping into scenery, props, or other guests.
We strongly recommend not wearing nice or light-colored clothing, especially white shirts, as those are used to identify Extreme participants.
By purchasing a ticket and entering the attraction, you acknowledge that accidents can happen in this environment and that The Haunted Hydro is not responsible for damage, stains, or wear to clothing or personal items.
Use common sense, dress appropriately, and get ready for a wild night.. whether you’re going Extreme or just along for the ride.
