Cincinnati’s Music Hall, a venerable art institution known for wowing audiences with beauty and talent, is also a known for its other-worldly reputation. Patrons and staff alike have sighted ghosts for more than 150 years. All this has cemented the building’s role in Ohio’s folkloric history.
Come hear the tale of one veteran paranormal investigator, Mr. Dan Schneider, who captured his most dramatic unexplained experience there in the fabled freight elevator.
Come hear the tales of the site’s macabre history, dating back long before its original construction. One piece of its tragic history stands out among the rest, a manmade explosion killing scores. Their unidentified graves remain beneath the building’s foundations.

Dublin's "Cursed" Memorial Golf Tournament & The Legend of Chief Leatherlips
The crown jewel of professional golf in Ohio is the Memorial Tournament, held every spring at Dublin’s Muirfield Village Golf Club. This renown course, designed by Jack Nicklaus himself, has long been rumored “cursed.” More often than not, it seems, this storied contest suffers inclement weather, the kind of which leads to delays and shortened holes.
Is there any truth to this lore? The allegation is that the spirit of long dead Chief Leatherlips of the Wyandotte Nation is not happy about the course’s location near his grave. It’s said that he commands the heavens each year to plague the tournament once again.
As is true with most Ohio Folklore episodes, the history behind the legend is more telling and profound than any supernatural claims. Come hear the tale of one man, a Native leader, who inspired not only his people, but White settlers alike.
His example guides us yet today. More than any golf game, or the weather on any given day in May, what matters is our integrity.
He died for his.

Piatt Castles
Among Ohio’s many tourist destinations, the Piatt Castles situated in Logan County are truly treasured. Their native limestone blocks and intricately painted ceilings transport visitors to another time. Some come for the history, some come for the aesthetics. Few expect to have the kind of deep experience that leaves a person altered.
Come hear the tale from the museum’s director, Ms. Margaret Piatt. A descendant of the original owner, she offers an inside view of the historic space. Yet more than that, she shares the personal story of how she’s developed a fuller appreciation for the land on which it sits.
Come hear the compelling legend attached to one unassuming boulder located near the property. On separating fact from fiction, we come to learn a bit more of who we were, and perhaps who we might yet become.
Native tribes were forced from this region a long time ago. Along with them, let’s not lose the truth of their struggles, their hopes, their wisdom.
