The Sedamsville Rectory, located at 639 Steiner Avenue in Cincinnati, has been around for a long freaking time. In recent years, it’s become a popular place for ghost hunters, being featured on several paranormal themed, so called reality shows.

Over a century old, the rectory is believed to be haunted. Witnesses working on building renovations have seen eerie mists and shadows under the doors of empty rooms. Some say one ghost who resides here is Father Donald MacLeod, who wrote “The History of Roman Catholicism in North America.” In the late 1800s. He was hit by a train nearby, and locals, including parishioners, have seen his ghost walking along the street near the building or by the railroad tracks. Visitors here have heard unexplained footsteps and voices and seen doors opening and closing. They’ve also seen the apparition of a clergyman. Other spirits believed to haunt the place are a man and a child who were both found dead, at different times, on the street in front of the rectory. The child had a noose around its neck.

As I’ve said before, I’ve gotten lazy, so doing a lot of research is way too much work for me. So anyway, here’s a history of the place, which I copied off the Rectory web site:

Midwest Preservation Society began renovations of the Sedamsville Rectory in March 2011.

The Sedamsville Rectory was built over 120 years ago. The Midwest Preservation Society is working hard to restore it back to its original condition. The facility has over 6000 square feet of space and four levels. On the first level, it has a parlor, living room, library, formal dining room, a kitchen as well as a bathroom. The kitchen has a staircase leading up to the second level where the servant’s quarters are located. The second level has four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a beautiful staircase going to the first floor. There is also a staircase leading up to the huge attic. The Rectory also has a full basement, which is divided into four separate areas.
