For years Washington Park was primarily used as a mass burial ground of the local churches, filling it with the bodies of the poor. That all changed in 1858 when the city acquired the park. And today it's haunted by a few spirits, one of the most famous being the witch of Washington park.

Stop 4
Pass by
In the 1980’s after the building was abandoned the church changed hands multiple times and at one time it was a drug store. But no one seemed to want to stick around. When the current owners bought the building, they reportedly had a priest come in to bless it in hopes of clearing any lingering spirits that may have driven the prior tenants away. But it didn’t seem to work. Over the years guests have seen other worldly presences walk its halls.
