Bobby Mackey’s

In honor of our upcoming trip to Cincinnati, OH we’re going to cover one of the most haunted locations closest to the city, Bobby Mackey’s.

Built in 1850, it is said to be the most haunted nightclub in America. Originally built as a slaughterhouse and meatpacking facility, animals weren’t the only living creatures slaughtered there. Several murders were committed either in or around the club throughout the years.

It is said that the club harbors enough dark energy that the portal to hell is said to swirl somewhere within its basement. There have been reports of strange, suffocating heat, a trashcan flying through the air, and the apparation of a man with a handlebar moustache appearing in a mirror.

One of the more disturbing aspects of this club is that Bobby Mackey, country singer and owner of the club, reportedly wrote the song “Johanna” about the spirit of a woman who purportedly committed suicide in the basement of the club…. the same basement that allegedly contains the portal to hell.
