- Washington Park - For many years, Washington Park served primarily as a mass burial ground for local churches, filled with the remains of the poor. This changed in 1858 when the city acquired the park. Today, it is said to be haunted by several spirits, with the most famous being the witch of Washington Park.
- Ghost Baby - This eerie bar was built in tunnels constructed underground in the mid-1800s. Today, it is a spooky spot with many ghosts said to be lurking around its walls.
- Taft’s Ale House - In the 1980s, after the building was abandoned, the church changed hands multiple times and was even a drug store at one point. However, no one seemed to stay for long. When the current owners purchased the building, they reportedly had a priest bless it in hopes of clearing any lingering spirits that may have driven previous tenants away. However, it didn’t seem to work. Over the years, guests have reported seeing otherworldly presences walking its halls.
- Symphony Hotel & Restaurant - This eerie hotel has served as a residence, a hotel, and even a brothel. Its dark past is said to harbor some spooky ghosts. It’s not only a great place to enjoy a meal, but if you decide to stay, you might just encounter the terrifying Lady in Red!
- Cincinnati Music Hall - In 1876, during the construction of Music Hall, people watched as “boxes were filled with skeletal remains.” The bones kept appearing, and the ghosts of its past are said to have decided to remain.
