Why is Cleveland So Haunted?
Cleveland’s abhorrent and often criminal past has left it riddled with specters and spirits of great supernatural reputation. It comes as no surprise that the city, once called “The Mistake on the Lake,” has seen more than a few vicious deaths and tragic disasters in its time. The banks of Lake Erie have seen prohibition-era gangsters and corrupt politicians work their way into the city’s finely woven fabric.
Now, the spirits they created appear in photographs as hazy figures and peak out of dark alleyways when least expected. From the Public Square, where it all began, to the Terminal Tower looming high above the city, the skies and the streets serve as a playground for the otherworldly. At the 1922 Connor Palace, an old usher still serves his guests in a kind and courtly manner. Dressed in green, some think he is the mysterious “Man In The Green Coat” that has been seen around Playhouse Square.
Public Square was where it all began in 1796. From there, the city stretched outward under General Moses Cleaveland’s vision. The Soldiers and Sailor Monument to the dead soldiers of the Civil War sprung up in 1891, and ever since, apparitions and orbs have appeared near its 125-foot-tall statue.
Cleveland was an industrial powerhouse and the fifth-largest city in the United States during the first half of the 20th century. The Terminal Tower was built to bring even more people into the city limits. But was the major disaster during construction that encased two construction workers in concrete worth it? Their muffled screams and appearances floating in mid-air seem to think not. Book a Cleveland ghost tour today to learn more about this terrible disaster and others in C-Town.
Why should you tour with us?
The Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame is one of Cleveland’s most famous attractions, drawing in thousands of visitors a year. The museum is one to behold, complete with musical legends that redefined the way we listen to music for generations. These historical figures, however, aren’t the only ones who helped put Cleveland on the map. Discover the people who built this town and the places they remain after death. Hear their fascinating and sometimes tragic tales that continue to reverberate throughout downtown Cleveland, solidifying the city’s status as one of the most haunted in the nation.
The theater scene in Cleveland is unlike any other. In fact, the theater district in downtown Cleveland is the second largest in America, behind New York. It’s home to the biggest productions running today and housed some of the pioneers that paved the way for freedom in the theater. Once you’ve taken in all that the theater scene has to offer, come back for a tour of the spirit side. Experience the true tales of the hauntings that put on a show when the curtain goes down and why cast members and patrons of another era linger in the shadows of this vibrant scene.
Cleveland is known for so many things, including its stature in the beer industry. The city is home to over 40 breweries, with craft beer flowing from all of them. For beer connoisseurs, it’s not hard to spend an entire day sampling these amazing, unique beers. What better way to walk off all of that delicious craft beer than with a mile stroll through downtown Cleveland with Cleveland Ghosts? You’ve taken in the city’s beer history, now take in the haunted history and discover the sobering spooky side of this popular metropolis.
Is there anything Cleveland isn’t known for? The answer is maybe not. The city has a place in the superhero space – the creators of the “Man of Steel” are from this very spot. Superman may be from Krypton, but he originated in Cleveland, making the city known for being an integral part of the DC world. After you visit the Home of Superman, discover more incredible facts and monuments with a ghost tour from Cleveland Ghosts. We’ll take you to some of the most notable locations in the city and share tales that are as fantastic as those of the caped crusader.
There’s quite a bit to do on any given night here in Cleveland, but none of those things are as engaging and entertaining as a ghost tour with Cleveland Ghosts. The places you’ll see and the stories you’ll hear are experiences you won’t find anywhere else. For a memorable date night that will give you something to talk about for days to come, book your ghost tour with Cleveland Ghosts today.
