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

Wooden Nickel Antiques started over 40 years ago, collecting 100s of historic pieces, each with it's own story, an untold secret.

Our tour felt like the guide was making up stories as she went. Apparently “Marilyn Manson” is a serial killer from the local area. Prohibition took place in the 1830s. The ghost stories didn’t seem to be rooted in any sort of historical fact, few names or dates were given. Overall, it was a waste of our time and money.

Patrick was friendly and knowledgeable but he wasn't the best story teller. Alot of history which wad cool but without a dramatic flare his tour didn't feel like a ghost tour.
