Cincinnati Ghost Walking Tour

Explore Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine at your own pace on a self-guided ghost walking tour filled with eerie local lore. This historic neighborhood, known as OTR, is one of the largest and most intact urban historic districts in the United States, and its stories linger among the streets and landmarks.

Follow the WalknTours app past Music Hall, Washington Park, and Memorial Hall, hearing tales that include the Cincinnati Strangler, the Lady in Red, and the Witch of Washington Park. Along the way, learn about the Elm Street said to have inspired Freddy Krueger and hear the story of a bar four stories below ground. The route visits outdoor stops only, so you can admire the sites without entering buildings.

Cincinnati ghost walking tour access is flexible: start whenever you like, pause as needed, and return to the tour later because it never expires. One ticket unlocks the experience on two phones. There’s no in-person guide; your smartphone leads the way and delivers the stories. Set out when the mood strikes and uncover the haunted side of OTR.
