Self-guided Over-the-Rhine walking tour with stops at Elm Street, Music Hall, Washington Park, and bar four stories below

Free cancellation available
Up to 24 hours before the start time
Duration: 40 minutes - 50 minutes

On this self-guided ghost walk you will explore Over the Rhine (OTR), the large, well-preserved historic neighbourhood and follow the stories tied to its darker past. Along the way you’ll walk down the Elm Street that inspired Freddy Kruger, hear the haunted tale of Music Hall, find the spot where the lady in Red is said to reside, and learn about a bar hidden four stories below street level. You’ll also linger in the park as you search for the Witch of Washington Park and encounter other eerie local legends.

The tour is delivered through the WalknTours app, so you’ll move at your own pace and take it whenever you like—the tour does not expire. The route stays outdoors and all stops are viewed from outside; this experience does not include entering buildings. The app lets you navigate solo with your phone and offers narrated storytelling similar to a live guide, with the convenience of a self-led walk.

    Location

    Departure point

    Memorial Hall, Elm St 1225, Over-The-Rhine, Cincinnati, OH, 45202
    OTR stands for Over the Rhine, one of the largest, most intact urban historic districts in the United States. It was named for German immigrants that settled here in the 1800’s. And their spirits have stuck around to haunt the OTR long after they have gone.

    End point

    Cincinnati Music Hall, Elm St 1241, Over-The-Rhine, Cincinnati, OH, 45202
    In 1876, when Music Hall was under construction people stood around and watched as “boxes were filled with skeletal remains.”The bones just kept coming and the ghosts of it's past have decided to stick around.
