Ghosts of Historic Delaware, Ohio, Haunted America

The Olentangy River runs through it—and ghosts inhabit it. Take a tour of central Ohio’s haunted hamlet with its resident paranormal expert.

The infamous Vaudeville ghost that still puts on a show at the Strand, the mischievous, piano-playing poltergeists of the Arts Castle, and the bearded ghoul that speeds at a hellish pace down North Franklin Street in a horse-drawn carriage―these are the otherworldly denizens of Delaware, Ohio. Local ghost expert John B. Ciochetty’s collection of haunted lore will have skeptics and believers alike looking over their shoulders as they walk down the city streets. Behind the folklore and legends, readers will find the strange but hard facts of history that have given rise to tales of the city’s restless spirits. Join Ciochetty as he explores the other side of Delaware to discover its spine-tingling, haunted history.
