Cincinnati is home to many sinister ghost stories, and some of them even involve much-loved spots throughout the city. One such example can be found in beautiful Eden Park, just up the hill from downtown. This park is filled with history, beautiful views, and a truly creepy tale about a murder that happened decades ago. The sinister story behind the Spring House Gazebo in Cincinnati will surely give you chills.
Eden Park is a jewel of an urban park and a natural oasis on the edge of downtown.
There was so much drama, in fact, that he was set to divorce from his wife after he was released from a stint in jail. The photo above shows Remus (in the middle) next to his wife Imogene and their family.
In October of 1927, it seems that Remus had had enough of his wife and the divorce wasn't going to be enough to satisfy his anger.
After a heated car chase on the day their divorce was set to be finalized, the pair ended up in Eden Park, where Remus then shot his wife in the stomach.
Dressed in all black to mourn her marriage, Imogene died soon after in the hospital. As you can imagine, there were quite a few unresolved issues, which may just be why Mrs. Imogene Remus, pictured above, is said to still wander around the park, specifically at the Spring House Gazebo.
