Forgotten Hauntings of Northeast Ohio

Delve into ghost stories pulled from century-old headlines and reported anew with author and investigative historian William G. Krejci. There was a time when ink-stained scribes would head into the community to report on ghostly visitations--many of their stories have been forgotten until now. At a Lorain County farmhouse, spectral women were said to manifest in the darkness of night. A haunted mansion was replete with the unexplained in Akron’s North Hill neighborhood. Rumors of a haunting at Cleveland’s Grays Armory have long circulated. New evidence reveals the site to have been the scene of two mysterious deaths and possibly a haunted house. Does a peddler who went missing two centuries ago drag chains across the attic floor at a Portage Lakes tavern?

Author and investigative historian William G. Krejci was born in Cleveland and raised in neighboring Avon Lake. Aside from the multiple book titles to his credit, he’s also the owner, operator and host of Strange & Spooky Cleveland Tours. With an interest in local history, he spends much of his time investigating the origins of ghostly legends and urban lore, and for six years, he was the resident historian of Cleveland’s famed Franklin Castle. William has been a guest speaker at many historical societies, libraries, bookstores, public venues and civic groups; has appeared on local television and radio; and has been a guest on multiple paranormal-based television programs.
