What To Expect

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...

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.

They canceled the tour about 4 hours before the booked time. It was the only reason we stayed in Cincinnati an extra night. Apparently the guide had a medical emergency, which happens but I would expect them to have an alternate guide available to fill in. Very disappointed
