The Castle Mystic or Mystic Castle was a funhouse attraction south of the first Old Mill next to the Laughing Gallery. Built in 1904,[1] it was described in the Columbus Sunday Dispatch as "full of mirth and mystery."[2] The attraction was in the area of the second Dancing Pavillion, so the attraction most likely closed in 1906.[3]
