Haunted Tour in Mount Healthy from Cincinnati

Mount Healthy packs a surprising number of ghost stories into a small Cincinnati-area tour. In about 90 minutes, you visit eight historic locations, including a Civil War cemetery, a former secret-society meeting place, and the spot tied to the town’s ghost train.

I like the clear route, which begins and ends at Fibonacci Brewing Company, and the mix of local history with spooky folklore. I also like the small-group limit of 24 people, plus guide Kevin’s friendly, entertaining approach. The main drawback is that this is an outdoor walking experience, so weather can cancel it and you should be ready to stay on your feet.

Key points to know before booking

• Eight Mount Healthy stops: The route covers homes, cemeteries, former civic sites, and unusual local landmarks.
• A 90-minute evening-style experience: The short format gives you a focused introduction without taking up an entire night.
• Guide Kevin may lead the tour: He is described as friendly and entertaining, with a good spooky tone.
• Fibonacci Brewing Company is the meeting point: You meet outside at 1445 Compton Road and return there at the end.
• The final cemetery stop gets the most time: Mt Pleasant Cemetery receives about 20 minutes, longer than the other locations.
• The price is $32 per person: That is reasonable for a guided local history walk, but transportation, drinks, and bottled water are not included.

A ghost walk built around Mount Healthy’s old stories

This tour is less about theatrical scares and more about the odd, sometimes unsettling stories attached to specific places. That makes it a good fit if you like local history with a supernatural edge, rather than a haunted attraction filled with actors, costumes, and sudden effects.

The route moves through Mount Healthy, a Cincinnati community with old homes, cemeteries, civic buildings, and former transportation links. Each stop adds a different type of story. One concerns a haunted house. Another recalls a mayor’s fate. A cemetery introduces Civil War graves and a distinctive spirit. The last stop focuses on Lydia, the ghost said to occupy Mt Pleasant Cemetery.

I appreciate that the tour does not rely on one theme alone. You get architecture, town politics, fraternal organizations, transportation history, military burials, and ghost lore. The result should feel more like a local story walk than a standard haunted-house show.

The booking pattern also tells you something useful: this experience is often reserved well ahead of time, with an average lead time of about 33 days. That does not mean every date sells out, but it is sensible to check early if you want a particular evening, especially around Halloween.

Meeting at Fibonacci Brewing Company

The tour begins outside Fibonacci Brewing Company at 1445 Compton Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45231. Your admission to the brewery is not part of the tour price, and no private transportation is provided, so plan to arrive at the meeting point on your own.

Starting at a brewery gives the outing a relaxed local feel, but you should treat the location mainly as a meeting point unless your booking details say otherwise. Bottled water is not included. Bring your own water, particularly on a warm day, since the tour involves walking between several sites.

The tour returns to Fibonacci Brewing Company after the final cemetery stop. That makes the logistics simple: you do not need to arrange a second pickup point or figure out how to get back across town. Still, allow a little extra time to park or reach the starting point, since the route itself lasts about 90 minutes and late arrivals may be hard to fold into a moving group.

Stop 1: Fibonacci Brewing Company and the opening story

The first stop lasts about five minutes and costs nothing beyond your tour ticket. This is where the guide meets you, gathers the group, and sets up the stories ahead.

A five-minute opening may sound brief, but it helps keep the tour moving. You are not spending half the experience on introductions. Guide Kevin is described as friendly and entertaining, and that tone matters here. A haunted walk works best when the guide can balance an easy manner with a little tension.

The experience is offered in English. Since the group can reach 24 people, stay close enough to hear the guide clearly, particularly if the meeting area is busy.

Stop 2: The Glossinger House at 1515 Compton Road

The Glossinger House is described as one of the oldest and most haunted places in Mount Healthy. You spend about 10 minutes here, making it one of the early moments when the tour shifts from meeting logistics to the town’s supernatural stories.

Old houses are familiar territory on ghost tours, but this stop gives the route a strong foundation. The appeal comes from the combination of age and reputation. You are not simply stopping at a random address. You are hearing why this particular house has become part of Mount Healthy’s haunted identity.

The tour description does not promise interior access, so expect to learn about the location from outside. That is worth keeping in mind if you want a haunted house tour with rooms, props, or physical evidence. This experience is built around places and storytelling, not entry into every building.

Stop 3: Knochelmann Service Experts and a mayor’s fate

At Knochelmann Service Experts, the guide tells the story of one of Mount Healthy’s mayors and the ghosts still linked to the site. The stop lasts about 10 minutes.

This is one of the more unusual parts of the route because it ties a supernatural tale to local civic history. A mayor’s story gives the ghost lore a human and political setting. You get a sense of how a town remembers its leaders, its troubles, and the places where important events are said to have occurred.

The modern business name may surprise you, but that contrast is part of the interest. Haunted stories are not always attached to grand ruins or old mansions. They can survive around ordinary properties that have changed use over time. Keep an open mind about the setting, and listen for the connection between the present-day address and the older story.

Stop 4: Hoffner Cemetery at 7365 Perry Street

At 7365 Perry Street, you visit Hoffner Cemetery, the final resting place of Civil War soldiers and one of the tour’s more distinctive spirits. The stop takes about 10 minutes.

This is where the tour’s history element becomes especially useful. A cemetery connected with Civil War soldiers gives you a concrete link to the past, rather than a ghost story with no wider context. The supernatural tale may draw you in, but the burial ground itself gives the stop weight.

You should expect an outdoor setting with uneven ground possible, even though the tour data does not give a specific surface description. The stated fitness requirement is moderate, so wear practical shoes and avoid treating this as a ride-up sightseeing excursion. The route is short, but you will be walking and standing at multiple sites.

Stop 5: The former Odd Fellows location at 7522 Hamilton Avenue

At 7522 Hamilton Avenue, the guide discusses the Odd Fellows, a secret society connected with the location. You learn about the site’s history and the ceremonies held there, with about 10 minutes devoted to the stop.

This is a welcome change from cemetery stories. Secret-society material brings questions about ritual, privacy, and community life. The point is not just that the building was supposedly spooky. It also reflects the kinds of groups that once shaped local towns through private meetings and ceremonies.

The name is presented as Odd Fellowes in the tour information. You may hear the site discussed in the context of the Odd Fellows fraternal tradition. Since the experience focuses on history and stories told at the location, do not expect a ceremony or an active secret society. The interest is in what the place once represented and how those old associations feed the ghost story.

Stop 6: The Mount Healthy ghost train at 7608 Hamilton Avenue

The stop at 7608 Hamilton Avenue covers the Mount Healthy ghost train and lasts about 10 minutes. It is one of the route’s most memorable ideas because it shifts the setting from buildings and burial grounds to transportation.

Ghost trains have an immediate sense of motion and mystery. Even without elaborate effects, the concept gives the guide plenty to work with: a place, a route, and a story that seems to keep moving through local memory. This stop should appeal to you if you enjoy unusual folklore more than familiar haunted-house tales.

The tour information does not promise that you will see or hear a train. Think of this as a story connected with a location, not a paranormal performance with guaranteed activity. That distinction helps set the right expectations and keeps the $32 price in perspective.

Stop 7: McMakin Avenue’s toll road station

At 1546 McMakin Avenue, you visit the Mount Healthy Historical Society and a preserved toll road station. The stop takes about 10 minutes.

This may be the most grounded historical stop on the route. A preserved toll road station points to the practical side of local travel before modern road systems. It helps explain how people and goods once moved through the area, and it gives the tour another physical link to an earlier Mount Healthy.

The historical society connection also broadens the experience beyond ghost tales. You are getting a glimpse of preservation work and local memory, not only a list of haunted addresses. If you prefer stories with a clear connection to community history, this stop may be especially satisfying.

As with the other locations, the available information does not state that you enter the building. Expect the guide to explain the site and its significance from the tour route.

Stop 8: Mt Pleasant Cemetery and Lydia

The final stop is Mt Pleasant Cemetery at 1489 Hill Avenue. The tour spends about 20 minutes here, making it the longest stop of the night.

This cemetery is described as the most haunted place in Mount Healthy, and Lydia is the resident ghost you might encounter in the story. The wording matters: you might get to meet Lydia, but no supernatural appearance is guaranteed. The attraction is the setting, the account, and the atmosphere created by the guide.

Ending here makes good sense. After seven shorter stops, the tour has introduced several kinds of local history and folklore. The final cemetery gives you time to pause, listen, and let the stories gather around one place. If you want the strongest spooky moment, this is likely the part you will anticipate most.

Cemeteries also require respectful behavior. Keep voices down when appropriate, follow the guide’s instructions, and remember that this is a burial place, not a stage set. The tour’s entertainment value works best when it remains considerate.

What $32 gets you

The price is $32 per person. For that fee, you receive the guided experience and the route through eight Mount Healthy locations. Admission at the individual stops is free, but that does not reduce the value of the guide. You are paying for the planning, storytelling, local knowledge, and efficient sequence of sites.

At roughly 90 minutes, the cost works out to a reasonable rate for a small-group walking tour. The maximum group size is 24, which is large enough to create a social outing but smaller than a major city coach tour. You will still want to stay near the guide, but the group should be manageable.

The value depends on what you want. If you are looking for rides, actors, special effects, or access to haunted interiors, this may feel too simple. If you want a compact introduction to Mount Healthy’s unusual stories, the price is easier to justify.

You should budget separately for transportation and water. Private transportation is not included, and the tour does not provide bottled water. The meeting point is near public transportation, which may help, but no specific transit route is given.

Who will enjoy this Mount Healthy tour

I would recommend this outing to adults, older children, and groups who enjoy spooky stories with a local-history base. The tone sounds friendly rather than extreme, especially with Kevin’s entertaining style, so it should suit people who want a fun night out without a full horror production.

It is also a good choice if you have already seen Cincinnati’s better-known attractions and want a different side of the area. Mount Healthy’s stories, old homes, cemeteries, toll road station, and ghost train give the tour a more local focus.

You should think twice if you dislike outdoor walking, need a fully seated experience, or want guaranteed paranormal activity. The tour requires a moderate level of fitness, depends on good weather, and moves between several sites. Service animals are allowed, and the activity is near public transportation.

Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations made later are not refunded, and late changes are not accepted. Poor weather can cancel the tour, in which case you are offered another date or a full refund. The same applies if the minimum number of participants is not reached.

Should you book it?

Book this tour if you want a short, affordable introduction to Mount Healthy’s ghost stories and local past. The strongest reasons are the varied route, the final cemetery stop with Lydia’s story, the Civil War connection at Hoffner Cemetery, and the unusual ghost train tale.

I would skip it if you want a polished haunted attraction with actors, indoor access, or special effects. For everyone else, the $32 price, 90-minute length, return to Fibonacci Brewing Company, and small-group limit make this an easy addition to a Cincinnati visit. Reserve ahead if your schedule is fixed, bring water, wear sensible shoes, and come ready for stories rather than guaranteed apparitions.
