Book Description
Rediscover Cleveland's Forgotten Hauntings Hiding in obscure corners and in plain sight, chilling tales from Cleveland's paranormal past await reawakening. A tale from 1840 places the city's first haunted house on the windswept commons south of town. Hanged murderers were said to roam the corridors of the Old County Jail, and t he 1885 disinterment of the old Cleveland Medical College graveyard led to reports of nocturnal phantoms throughout the excavation. With the construction of Bulkley Boulevard in 1912, many West Side homes were demolished. Also destroyed was the entrance to what neighbors menacingly called The Cave of Apparitions. Take a step back in time with author and investigative historian William G. Krejci on this journey through Cleveland's long lost ghostly past.

Book Description
Locals and visitors alike will enjoy this step back through time into Put-in-Bay's forgotten past. An island vacation getaway on Lake Erie, Put-in-Bay is known today for its family fun, cocktail culture, dining and live entertainment, but a deep-rooted history lies beyond.

Roller coasters, carousels and an electric railroad now rumble and sing only in memory. The many steamboats that brought visitors to the island run no more. Virtually no traces remain of a blockhouse and cemetery dating back to the War of 1812. Join author and investigative historian William G. Krejci on this journey to an island of yesterday.
