Heres a sampling of some of the spookiest: Hilton Netherland Plaza - Cincinnati This beautiful Art Deco hotel right in the heart of Cincinnati is home to the Lady in Green. The spirit of a woman who jumped out a window high atop the hotel after her husband was killed while working on the construction of the hotel, she is most often seen on the elevators wearing a fancy green dress. Hotel Breakers - Sandusky Located in Cedar Point Amusement Park, the hotel has been serving guests for more than 100 years. The hotel is haunted by the ghost of a woman named Mary who hanged herself in a room on the second floor. Lafayette Hotel - Marietta This venerable old hotel has survived frequent flooding of the Ohio River, so the ghosts who still reside here feel safe and secure. One of the most common ghosts is that of Mr. Hoag, a former hotel manager. The wait staff in the hotels restaurant still sees him working on his business papers there, long after closing. The Old Stone House Bed & Breakfast -Marblehead This bed-and-breakfast is supposedly haunted by the ghost of a little girl who fell out of a window and flew three floors to her death. Guests claim to hear flushing toilets on the third floor, and some have reported photographing orbs in haunted Room 11 Riders Inn - Painesville The Riders Inn was built in 1812 and has seen its share of travelers pass through.

The Lofts Hotel - Columbus The boutique hotel in Columbuss new Arena area began life in 1882 as the Carr Building and housed several different businesses until it became a hotel in 1998. Perhaps the Lady of the Lofts, a woman in Victorian clothing who haunts the hotel, was an employee in one of those businesses; we dont know. What we do know is that several people have glimpsed her from the corner of their eye in the stairwell and occasionally in the halls. Recently, a hotel security guard named Kevin heard a womans horrific screaming on the second floor in the middle of the afternoon. For twenty minutes he frantically searched the area but never found an explanation for the screaming. Granville Inn - Granville Right across the street from the haunted Buxton Innwhich has, among other ghosts, a ghost catthe Granville Inn has its share of spooky visitors.
