Cleveland Ghost Stories
This Halloween eve, we are joined by Charles Cassady Jr. & William Krejci to hear the stories of the paranormal activity in Cleveland. These stories stem from legends that have been passed down through the ages, and from actual events that have happened here in Cleveland. This is sure to be a spooktacular event. Books by the storytellers will be available for sales & signing.

William G. Krejci Bio

Author and investigative historian William G. Krejci was born in Cleveland and raised in neighboring Avon Lake. Aside from the multiple book titles to his credit, he’s also the owner, operator, and host of Strange & Spooky Cleveland Tours. With an interest in local history, he spends much of his time investigating the origins of ghostly legends and urban lore, and for six years was the resident historian at Cleveland’s famed Franklin Castle. Since 2022, he has served on the board of the Monroe Street Cemetery Foundation on Cleveland’s West Side. William is the author of Buried Beneath Cleveland: Lost Cemeteries of Cuyahoga County, Haunted Put-in-Bay, Ghosts and Legends of Northern Ohio, Lost Put-in-Bay, and the newly-released Cleveland’s Lost Ghost Stories. He’s also the co-author of Haunted Franklin Castle, the upcoming book Cleveland’s Riverside Cemetery, and author of the Jack Sullivan mystery series. He’s been a guest speaker at many historical societies, libraries, bookstores, public venues, and civic groups. He’s appeared as a guest on multiple paranormal-based television programs and has been featured on many local television and radio programs. In his free time, he enjoys hiking, playing guitar, and singing in an Irish band.
 

The goal of the Cleveland Stories Dinner Party is to bring to life some of the fun, interesting stories about Cleveland’s past – from sports, to rock ‘n roll, to Millionaire’s Row, — the series will focus on tidbits from Cleveland’s past that will really thrill the audience. The Music Box is presenting this series in partnership with the Western Reserve Historical Society’s new Cleveland History Center. We think the Cleveland History Center is one of the most important museums in Cleveland. An unknown gem that Clevelanders should know more about, and support. It is the only museum in Cleveland dedicated to preserving and documenting the history of Cleveland. The Cleveland History Center includes two mansions, the Crawford Auto Aviation Museum, Chisholm Halle Costume Wing, Research Library, Kidzibits Hands-On Gallery, rotating exhibitions, and the Euclid Beach Park Grand Carousel.
