Haunted Put-in-Bay Ghost Walk
Explore the Spooky Side of South Bass Island
Situated on Lake Erie’s South Bass Island, Put-in-Bay is widely known for it’s breathtaking scenery, historic attractions, and wild nightlife. This Ohio tourist destination is also home to many spirits – more than those that can be found in a bottle.
Hear the chilling tale of Sam Anderson, the assistant lighthouse keeper, who commit suicide by hurling himself into the turbulent waters of Lake Erie during an 1898 smallpox outbreak. His ghost has been reported walking the lighthouse grounds at sunset. Doors open and close of their own accord, and items are said to be tossed about by a spirit named Benny at a local island brewery. Put-in-Bay was the staging point for the famous Battle of Lake Erie, where Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry defeated a British naval squadron in 1813. One hundred years later, a monument was built to honor that victory. Its colorful history, ghostly rumors, and the truth of this monument – and what lies beneath – will leave you aghast.
Based on the celebrated book Haunted Put-in-Bay, author and island historian William G. Krejci leads this tour that explores the darker side of island life. Haunted hotels, ghostly taverns, and enchanted waters – this village ghost walk culminates with a jaw-dropping conclusion that will leave you begging for more. Your journey into Put-in-Bay’s paranormal past awaits.
