CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — As the spooky season approaches, Chillicothe is gearing up for its popular Ghost Walk, an event that offers a rare glimpse into some of the town’s most haunted spots.
This year’s tour will take visitors through The Gazette Building (Caldwell Bankers), Maggie’s Farm & Aromatics, Mill City Apparel, Nellie Dog Pottery, and Southern Ohio Axe Throwing. Each location, rich with its own ghostly history, will be brought to life by volunteer storytellers sharing eerie tales.
The Ghost Walk also serves a vital role in supporting the Chillicothe Halloween Festival, which will be held at Yoctangee Park from October 11th to 13th, 2024. Proceeds from the Ghost Walk will help cover the festival’s costs.
The event is scheduled to proceed rain or shine, so participants should wear comfortable walking shoes and aim to arrive by 1 pm to visit all the sites. All locations involve stairs.
Advance tickets can be purchased online at www.chillicothehalloweenfestival.com, at the Ross-Chillicothe Convention & Visitors’ Bureau (230 North Plaza Blvd, Chillicothe), or on the day of the event at Tea of Life Apothecary (45 North Paint Street).
