One Of The Most Haunted Cemeteries In Ohio Is Also The Most Beautiful

Perfectly manicured grounds and rolling green hills; lily pad dotted lakes and stately trees; colorful flowers and fluttering flags as far as the eye can see. This is not a description of a botanical garden or city park; rather, this is a description of a cemetery. And not just any cemetery, but Spring Grove Cemetery, one of the most haunted cemeteries in Ohio. But don't let the haunted lore and ghostly whispers keep you away; this Ohio cemetery -- a designated National Historic Landmark -- is one of the most hauntingly beautiful places in the Buckeye State.

Established in 1845, Spring Grove has been serving the Cincinnati area for over 175 years; a beautiful final resting place for many.

Widely admired for its immaculate design and grounds, Spring Grove Cemetery is a designated National Historic Landmark; a hidden gem in the Queen City for both the living and the deceased.

The park's 700 acres don't just contain gravesites and mausoleums; there is also a beautiful arboretum and walking paths that invite guests to come and wander -- and reflect.

But as you traipse across the grounds and gaze into the reflective pools, you might get the feeling that you're not alone.

You see, there are over 220,000 people buried in Spring Grove. Every single person has a story -- and some, it seems, want to tell that story.

Visitors frequently report sightings of ghostly figures, as well as the sense that they are not alone among the headstones and monuments.

In one section of the cemetery, there have been stories of strange white wolves that roam around, keeping an eye on those they see. People have also reported seeing figures appear and then quickly disappear -- these happenings are not limited to the darkness and have even been reported by visitors during the day.

So is this Ohio cemetery really haunted? Only you can answer that question. But here's what we do know: there's something about cemeteries that causes the imagination to run a bit wild.

Visit Spring Grove Cemetery, and let your imagination run wild. Immerse yourself in your surroundings, and give the deceased their due respect.

And as you wander, who knows what you might discover... or hear?
