The historic Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, known to locals as OTR, is full of 19th-century buildings with their own dark histories. Wander around this allegedly haunted neighborhood alone if you dare during this self-guided audio walking tour. All you need is a smartphone to explore what goes bump in the night at places like the Music Hall and Washington Park. Bring your own group, using a single activity pass to unlock the audio tour on two separate phones.
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.

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.
