The Attractions

USS Nightmare

As legend tells it, the story of the USS Nightmare begins many years ago when the once noble dredging vessel, the William S. Mitchell, mysteriously broke free of its moorings wreaking havoc as it hit bridge after bridge for miles down the river. Although no one was known to be aboard at the time, the boat’s eventual demise would reveal a much different story. Suffering tremendous damage during what would become known as the Mitchell Massacre, the massive steamboat dredge was destined for destruction. But as the debris was sifted, the boat revealed a history plagued by inexplicable deaths, monstrous destruction and mysterious incidents dating as far back as its 1934 construction. These unexplained “accidents” combined with the hard, grueling work of the dredge took their toll on the boat’s crew leading those lucky enough to survive service aboard to refer to the cursed steamboat as the Death Dredge. Records found on board expose the life of the demented, maniacal Captain Mitchell, his bizarre family and his evil crewmembers. But they also expose deeper, darker secrets.

The William S. Mitchell, stands as a chilling monument, frozen in time, to the infamous Mitchell Massacre; its decks forever haunted by the maniacal Captain Mitchell and his daughter, Anna. The USS Nightmare is more than an attraction; it’s an immersive plunge into a nautical nightmare, inviting only the bravest to uncover its sinister secrets. Each step into the USS Nightmare’s shadowy depths brings you closer to the heart of a nightmare, exploring all areas of the Death Dredge where the past’s horrors are etched into every surface. But be warned, there is an intense, malevolent force within the walls of the massive steamboat dredge, and NO ONE is safe from its effects. Join us, if you dare, for an experience that melds history with horror in a way you will never forget.
