Cincinnati Haunted Handbook guides you to 100 fascinating and historic places, including old bridges, cemeteries, hotels, restaurants, theaters, and more. Every location is open to the public, and here’s the catch: Every place is reportedly haunted!
Join author Jeff Morris on a paranormal investigation to discover the creepiest corners of the Queen City and beyond. Read about the history of each site, and learn about the ghosts said to reside there. Then grab your gear and hit the road as you visit each location first-hand. Every entry includes an address, as well as photographs of these unforgettable destinations. Jeff has visited every locale, so his tips and suggestions allow you to maximize the enjoyment of each experience.
From the winding curves of the eerie Buffalo Ridge Road to the ghost of Music Hall, from ghostly moans heard near the Miamitown bridge to the wispy form that flits through Spring Grove Cemetery, this book presents creepy hideaways that even Cincinnati natives might not know about. Part travel guide and part armchair read, Cincinnati Haunted Handbook puts you in the middle of Cincinnati’s haunted history.
Each entry includes
- historical overview of the haunted place
- ghost stories associated with the location
- advice on visiting—if you dare
