What To Expect

Memorial Hall OTR (Pass By)

OTR stands for Over-the-Rhine, one of the largest, most intact urban historic districts in the United States. It was named for German immigrants that settled here in the 1800s. And their spirits have stuck around to haunt the OTR long after they have gone.

1. Washington Park

For years Washington Park was primarily used as a mass burial ground of the local churches, filling it with the bodies of the poor. That all changed in 1858 when the city acquired the park. And today it's haunted by a few spirits, one of the most famous being the witch of Washington Park.

Ghost Baby (Pass By)

This ghostly bar was constructed in tunnels underground built in the mid-1800s. Today it's a spooky spot that has many ghosts lurking around its walls.

Taft's Ale House (Pass By)

In the 1980s, after the building was abandoned, the church changed hands multiple times, and at one time it was a drugstore. But no one seemed to want to stick around. When the current owners bought the building, they reportedly had a priest come in to bless it in hopes of clearing any lingering spirits that may have driven the prior tenants away. But it didn’t seem to work. Over the years, guests have seen otherworldly presences walk its halls.

2. Symphony Hotel & Vivaldi's Restaurant

This spooky hotel has been a residence, a hotel, and even a brothel. And its dark past harbors some spooky ghosts. It's not only a great place to get a bite to eat; if you decide to stay, you might just see the terrifying Lady in Red!

Cincinnati Music Hall (Pass By)

In 1876, when Music Hall was under construction, people stood around and watched as “boxes were filled with skeletal remains. The bones just kept coming, and the ghosts of its past have decided to stick around.
