- The Columbia City Haunted Jail - 10/2000 to Present - Not only a make-up artist or horror creature for customers but also keeps kids off the street so they will not get into trouble while teaching valuable lessons they may use in their lifetimes. Some of those lessons include the ability to use power tools, the ability to predict how someone is going to act in a few seconds, the ability to work as a team, and the ability to get out of an area without drawing attention to yourself. The Haunted Jail is more than just a haunt they are a family. We teach kids important values in life.
