The stories were great. We especially enjoyed the one about Charles Manson's mom. We also like ghoshtbaby. The lady whose body had been dug up in Washington Park.

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.

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.

We had fun walking around and learning about the various buildings and stories behind them. Perfect mix of history and spookiness. Loved that you had the option to pause and go into some of them if you wanted to buy a drink or something.

We liked the tour because we could go at our own pace. We could rewind the audio if we missed something or didn’t hear the entire story! We really enjoyed hearing the history of the city as well!

We enjoyed getting to see an historic part of the city. We're going to drive it tomorrow in the daylight to see where we walked at night.
