Fantasma was an attraction at Olentangy Park that opened in the in the 1906 Season. It was described as being in a well-ventilated and beautifully decorated building and gave "an entertainment of high merit, both amusing and attractive."[1] It operated for at least two years. It was mentioned as operating in 1908.[2]
The building was listed separately from the Colonnade and supposedly became the House of Hindoo Mystery in 1908,[3] but postcard images show "The Hindoo Mystery" in the center of the Colonnade where the Egyptian Mystery is seen in an earlier postcard photo.[4]
