As a kid growing up in rural southcentral Ohio I thought that if I grew up and got to live in Cincinnati I would have made it! We would travel to No KY to visit family and when we hit the Columbia Parkway, I was in heaven. I can remember trying to see the houses on the hillside from the Parkway. Right our of school I moved west and never lived in Cincy but I would. It's still a beautiful city. Thanks for the visit down memory lane.

I heard a noise like someone trotting down the steps one night when I was working in the front of the house. Spooked me. Then Heard it again and realized that the noise only occurred when there were people living next door. Funny echos in these brick row houses. Mark Everyone keeps telling us our house is haunted.

Ours is a 1912 Gothic Revival. Great tour, love the little girl's room. I may have to check out this neighborhood. The only places I've visited in Cinci are the zoo, the children's museum and the stadium. My boys were just there Sunday for the Bengals game! Froze their butts off. LOL Our house used to be haunted too. After my husband mentioned hearing footsteps upstairs and hearing a man's voice in the mud room, our neighbors told us that our house used to be a mortuary, and the barn out back was where they processed the bodies. My daughter, 2 at the time, was too afraid of the "scary feet" she said she saw, to go in our son's room. Spooky, huh? We practically gutted and remodeled the upstairs after a fire, and haven't heard anything weird since. Love old houses. Ours is a 1912 Gothic Revival. Great tour, love the little girl’s room.

Something shorts in a wall, trips the lights, smolders a little, then one day gets enough air to really ignite. The old wiring is ripped out in the repairs and the problem is solved. (I'm not very romantic, am I? But I am afraid of some of our wiring) I like the chandelier in the 'branches' dining room. Is that a custom item, or just a basic model with a garland of some sort on it? hmm, that ‘haunting’ sounds an awfull lot like an electrical problem somewhere.

It wasn't actually on the tour. The guide in another house knew the people who lived there and told us about it. I don't know where people buy those giant spiders, either. Does anyone else? -Julia Sher and Desiree, sorry, but that’s all I know about the house that used to be haunted. It wasn’t actually on the tour.
