Halloween Ghost Tours of Music Hall | Friday, October 31

Halloween Tours of Cincinnati Music Hall

Rare opportunity to experience Music Hall – on Halloween night!

CINCINNATI, OH – Music  Hall, one of Cincinnati’s most iconic buildings and a National Historic Landmark, is also widely considered to be one of the City’s most active paranormal sites. Many of the stories about unusual happenings have deep historic roots, beginning in the Cincinnati of the 1800s and often centered on the graveyards formerly located on and nearby the venue’s footprint.

This year presents a rare opportunity to tour Music Hall after hours on All Hallows’ Eve – Halloween night. Four hour-long tours have been scheduled for 7:00 PM, 8:30 PM, 10:00 PM, and 11:30 PM for those who are fascinated by the history and paranormal potential of this unique venue. Each tour is limited to 40 people. Costumes are optional (costumes should allow freedom of mobility on an extensive walking tour that includes stairs and tight spaces), and there will be free Halloween candy for tour-goers.

Tickets are $20 and are available at www.CincinnatiArts.org, (513) 621-ARTS [2787], and the Music Hall or Aronoff Center Ticket Offices.  Children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

The tours are hosted and led by Cincinnati Research & Paranormal Studies (CRPS), a local group dedicated to investigating, documenting, and researching paranormal activities. CRPS will have “ghost hunting” equipment on display, and their team will be on hand in the foyer to explain how it works. They will also have a station where people can listen to EVPs (electronic voice phenomenon) that they have captured during their investigations of Music Hall.

The first Music Hall “ghost tour” was offered on Halloween night 2010, and proved to be so popular that the tours have since become sold-out monthly events. Tour guides showcase the history and evolution of Music Hall; lead participants through the auditorium, ballroom, backstage, and other areas; and share stories about the various supernatural and odd experiences of visitors and staff, past and present. The only after-hours tours offered within Music Hall itself, these special events showcase a darker side of the iconic venue not often seen by patrons attending performances. Participants are welcome to bring their own “ghost hunting” equipment, although none is required.

Those planning to take the tour (or simply wishing they could) may wish to consider watching the Syfy channel’s popular series Ghost Hunters on Wednesday, October 29 at 9:00 PM – Music Hall will be the featured destination of this special Halloween episode!
