Inside 43215: Downtown Lifestyles
HAUNTING ALOFT
There are always rumors around about creepy downtown haunts, but there’s one spot that’s so spooky, the haunting has been showcased on professional video productions.
It’s the uber-cool hotel, The Lofts, at 55 E. Nationwide Blvd. Seated in a structure that was built over one hundred years ago, not only is the hotel haunted, it’s also the final destination for weekend-package-partiers in Columbus Landmarks’ Best of Twenty Year Haunted Bus Tour.
What kind of ghost are we talking about? According to the video production, she’s from the last century and wears a high-necked gown. The on-screen tour guide notes, “She’s appeared in the stairwell off the lobby between the first and second floors, and on the second floor – period.” Ms. Ghost knocks on doors, and occasionally on the heads of housekeepers.
And then last year, for the very first time, Ms. Ghost made an appearance to a couple of lag-behinders on the Landmarks tour. The tourists were described as “visibly shaken.”
While the Landmarks tour date for October 31 is sold out, there might still be some space to spend the night with the ghost at the Lofts (614.461.2663).
