GALION, Ohio (WCMH) – A horror museum featuring “haunted” objects and a restaurant serving the last meals of infamous killers will soon open in Ohio.

The museum, opening at 227 Harding Way E. in Galion, will feature human bones, taxidermy, Ouija boards, haunted items and true crime artifacts. The new establishment is owned by Nate Thompson, who also founded The Michigan Museum of Horror. 

“We just try to create an immersive experience for everybody, dealing in both the real life aspect of horror and then also the fictional side of horror,” Thompson said. 

The Galion building, constructed in the year 1900, has a “haunted history,” according to Thompson. He plans on offering ghost tours and other events once open. 

“It definitely fits the vibe,” Thompson said. “When you go to look at a place and they don’t even know what you’re doing yet and one of the first things they tell you is ‘Hey, this is haunted,’ you know you’re in the right place.” 

The establishment will also feature a restaurant called “The Last Meal,” with a menu consisting of the final dishes eaten by infamous criminals on death row, along with serial killer-themed beverages.

For example, Thompson said serial killer John Wayne Gacy’s last meal will be on the menu, consisting of fried chicken and shrimp, strawberries and French fries. While some death row inmates have been known to request very large last meals, the restaurant will adjust the sizes to personal portions. Orders will be served on a “prison-style” platter, Thompson said. 

Thompson announced the new museum and restaurant on Facebook last week, drawing thousands of comments expressing excitement, along with some criticizing the eatery for glorifying serial killers and disrespecting murder victims. 

While Thompson said he understands and respects these opinions, he believes the establishment will help spread awareness about crime. He also said a portion of the profits from the restaurant will support various victims support foundations. 

“It gets you very immersed into the true crime, but also in the same aspect it really creates awareness to where you’re going to leave this place and you’re going to know what happened to these people and you’re just going to be a little bit more cautious,” Thompson said. “There’s just a lot of ways to make a positive from a negative for not only the victims, but for everybody.”

Thompson is aiming to open the new Galion attraction this summer. He is also planning to bring his horror themed museums to multiple other locations across the country, including a location in Louisville, Kentucky.
