Paranormal Tours
At Springboro History, we "ain't afraid of no ghost!" In fact, our fearless tour guides and paranormal investigators offer three types of paranormal tours.
NIGHT AT THE NULL
Built in 1798, Null House is full of history and, maybe, some ghosts. Join our resident ghost hunter as we use all the tricks of the trade to investigate the oldest home in Clearcreek Township and a former safe house on the Underground Railroad. With a history like that, what could possibly happen? Come find out in an intimate grouping of eight guests from 8 pm to midnight. Must be 18 or older to attend.

Springboro's historic district is well known for its haunted happenings. As you tour Main Street, we'll share spooky tales from residents, business owners and our members. Then we'll adjourn to our historic museum for red wine, hot-cocoa, snacks and the opportunity to chat with our resident ghosts, guided by our own ghost hunter.
