Overview

On this tour you will be lurking through the historic OTR, the neighborhood known as Over the Rhine, one of the largest, most intact urban historic districts in the United States, and discovering the spirits that have decided to haunt its grounds.

Go at your own pace and anytime you want and the tour never expires. Book 1 ticket and unlock 2 phones! Only on the WalknTours App.

You’ll walk on the Elm Street that inspired Freddy Kruger, learn the haunted story of Music Hall, see where the lady in Red resides, uncover a bar 4 stories below, lurk in the park in search of the Witch of Washington Park, and much more.

The tour is outside and we stop by all the stops on the tour, but do not go inside on this tour.

The WalknTours app offers solo tours navigated by your smart phone. Go at your own pace, on your own schedule and on your own terms. It's like a real life tour guide, only it's on your phone, way more convenient and a better story teller.

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 1800's. Today it's a spooky spot that has many ghosts lurking around its walls.

Taft's Ale House (pass by)

In the 1980’s after the building was abandoned the church changed hands multiple times and at one time it was a drug store. 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 other worldly presences walk its halls.
