Spooks & Spirits Miamisburg Ghost Walking Tour

By

Explore the haunted streets of Miamisburg, Ohio, where prankster spirits, a haunted bookstore, and the most sighted spirit in Ohio history await you on the Spooks & Spirits Ghost Walking Tour.

Join us for the Spooks & Spirits Ghost Walking Tour in Miamisburg, Ohio, the “Star City,” where hidden spirits roam the streets of this historic town. Many didn’t know Miamisburg was haunted, but after years of research and exploring the spirit realm, P3 has uncovered an array of restless souls all around. Meet the playful prankster spirits at the Baum Opera House, and delve into Miamisburg’s notorious past, a town once deemed a “city of sin” with over 30 bars within a few blocks of downtown. Explore the creepy, interconnected basements that hide countless spirits, and step into the haunted bookstore where we communicate in multiple languages with the other side. Hear the chilling tale of the Lady in White at Veterans Park, the site of an old cemetery that might not have been fully relocated, and discover the story of the most continuously sighted spirit in Ohio’s history. It’s a haunting experience you won’t forget!

🎟️ Tickets start at $22
🎟️ VIP tickets ($33) include a 1‑hour after‑hours ghost hunt.
