Richmond Haunts long-form
Haunted Columbus, Ohio: Thurber House, Mirror Lake and Green Lawn
Episode notes
About this episode
| Columbus is a relatively young capital city, but its neighborhoods, institutions and gathering places have already accumulated a rich body of ghost lore. This episode follows stories tied to literature, university life, restaurants, cemeteries and preserved domestic history.
The route begins at Thurber House and Ohio State University’s Mirror Lake. Downtown stops include the Jury Room and Elevator Brewery & Draught Haus. The final portion turns to Green Lawn Cemetery, Green Lawn Abbey and the Kelton House Museum, bringing together memorial architecture and one of the city’s notable historic homes. The seven locations show how Columbus’s supernatural traditions extend well beyond a single neighborhood or period. Documented building history remains separate from the reported apparitions and local accounts, allowing the episode to preserve the stories without presenting folklore as settled fact. |
