Other Spooky Attractions to Visit in Cleveland

Cleveland, Ohio, has a rich haunted history, and family travelers will find no shortage of Halloween experiences this season.

Buckland Museum of Witchcraft Magick & Occult

Founded in 1966, Buckland Museum of Witchcraft Magick & Occult is the country’s first museum of its kind. The site features a variety of exhibitions, like ancient Egyptian after-life dolls and artifacts from the Salem Witch trials, as well as rotating exhibits.

Franklin Castle

Can you survive a night in Cleveland’s most haunted location? Book an overnight stay at Franklin Castle and find out. The castle was built by German immigrant and banker Hannes Tiedemann. In the following years, many of his family members passed away in the house, generating early rumors of misfortune. Visitors and even paranormal TV shows who have stayed reported eerie whispers, crying, cold spots, doors slamming and shadowy figures around the property. The castle was featured on Ghost Adventures and Ghost Nation. Think you’re up for the challenge?

The Haunted House Restaurant

At The Haunted House Restaurant, guests are greeted by the smell of fresh popcorn, a box office-style host stand and servers dressed in theater usher uniforms. Every element of the space is inspired by classic horror films and features dishes named after classics like Nightmare on Elm Street corn, Poultrygeist sandwich and Texas Chainsaw burger. Keep an eye out for special appearances by characters like Michael Myers, Pennywise and Freddy Kruger.
