Overview

Cincinnati is home to many spooky sites, but visiting them alone doesn't offer the full picture. This guided walking tour takes you through the city after dark, to several haunted locations, including Memorial Hall, Washington Park and Taft's Ale House, where your guide will fill you in on their associated true life, chilling tales.

Itinerary

  • Built in 1908, Memorial Hall was built for war veterans to congregate and share stories, trials and tribulations with one another. This building is rich in dramatic history and equally dramatic hauntings. Hear the eerie tales of what haunts this historic hall.

  • Washington Park

    A once prosperous area prior to prohibition, this park and surrounding neighborhoods lived through the grim Great Depression, leading to countless graves of people buried beneath the surface. From devastating floods to outbreaks of disease, the site has seen its fair share of tragedy. Many report eerie encounters with the spirits that linger...

  • The history of this haunted structure dates back to 1850, when a Brewery opened here. Through the age of prohibition and the smuggling of drugs and alcohol through underground tunnels - this location has an interesting history with spooky haunts!

  • Taft's Ale House

    Now known as Taft's Ale house, sits a historic monument to Cincinnati's past. It was once an old Church that had seen its share of destruction and decay. Some visitors and employees alike have felt the presence of what many believe to be a former pastor of the church in the 1800s. Hear chilling tales of what they encountered.

  • Wooden Nickel Antiques

    Have you ever heard of cursed objects? Like a haunted doll, chair or even mirror? Wooden Nickel Antiques started over 40 years ago, collecting 100s of historic pieces, each with it's own story, an untold secret. Some customers report strange occurrences they witnessed after purchasing antiques still holding onto haunted energy.

  • The hotel that sits here hides dark secrets, kept for over a century. Guests have reported seeing child spirits running up and down the halls and multiple people have reported seeing a woman in a red dress stand over them. Hear the creepy stories associated with the Symphony Hotel and Restaurant.
