The House of Mystery was an exhibit at Olentangy Park that operated in 1908.
That year, the Columbus Evening Dispatch reported that a "genuine Hindoo, 'T'Ishi, the wizard of India," performed at the "new Fantasma." The performance included "Hindoo occultism and necromancy," power of suggestion on audience members, magic acts, and an escape act where he'd escape from a large black bag and ropes. It took place in the original Fantasma building, which was renamed the "House of Hindoo Mystery," sometimes called the "House of Mystery,"[1]
The Fantasma building was described as being well-ventilated and beautifully decorated.[2]
