Ghost Tour & Haunted Fitness Hike: The Walhalla Witch

Lucky's Market 2770 N High St, Columbus

RSVP on Meetup https://www.meetup.com/the-arcane-foundry-events/events/316483657/ There are places in Columbus where the air feels… wrong. Not dangerous in the obvious sense, but heavy. Like something has been watching longer than it should have. Walhalla Road is one of those places. And if you’ve ever walked it at night, you already know. We begin at Lucky’s Market on High Street. From there, we move with purpose. A three-mile haunted fitness hike, steady pace, nothing casual about it. Up High Street until we reach Walhalla Rd, where the atmosphere shifts. The ravine pulls you in. The trees close overhead. And then you’ll see it, the Calumet Bridge. People say it’s haunted. I’ll let you decide that for yourself. Not far from there stands the infamous Mooney Manor, a structure that feels less abandoned and more… waiting. We don’t stop long. We push forward. Out of the ravine and back into civilization, briefly. We regroup at Studio 35 Cinema & Drafthouse for a drink. A moment to reset. Because what comes next is where things get interesting. From there, we head toward the Glen Echo Bird Tunnel. If you’ve never been through it at night, you’ll understand why it has a reputation. Sound behaves strangely there. Light doesn’t quite sit right. And beyond it, there’s a hidden path most people miss entirely. We take that path. Eventually, we loop back toward Lucky’s Market. That’s where most people would call it a night. We don’t. Because there’s one more descent. The forbidden path. The one that leads to what locals call The Gates of Hell. A network of tunnels buried beneath the surface, where the temperature drops, the echoes stretch, and the question becomes very simple: What’s actually on the other side? This isn’t just a ghost tour.This isn’t just a hike. This is an experience. You’ll get your steps in.You’ll hear the stories.And if you’re paying attention… you might notice something watching back.

Haunted Hike – Walhalla Ravine and The Gates of Hell

RSVP on Meetup: https://www.meetup.com/the-arcane-foundry-events/events/316483657/ Read more about Walhalla Ravine: Walhalla Ravine Ghosts & Witch | Haunted Columbus, Ohio Dare to Enter Walhalla Ravine? There are places in Columbus where the city seems to disappear. Walk far enough into Walhalla Ravine, beneath the old trees and steep wooded hillsides, and the traffic grows distant. The houses above become harder to see. The path narrows, shadows gather beneath the canopy, and suddenly it becomes very easy to understand why people have been telling strange stories about this place for generations. Stories of murder, apparitions beneath the bridge, unexplained lights, and the thing once whispered about as the Walhalla Witch have become part of Clintonville folklore. Most have been embellished over the years. Some can be debunked. Others are simply stories with no way left to determine where the truth ended and the legend began. We’re going in anyway. This isn't a scripted ghost tour, and I'm not a professional storyteller. This is an adventure. We’ll explore Walhalla Ravine, follow some lesser-known paths, visit places connected to its legends, and talk about the strange history and folklore surrounding them. OPTIONAL: Afterward, anyone who wants to keep the evening going can join us nearby for drinks at Derive Brewing Company or pizza and drinks at Hounddog’s.
