Cleveland Trip!

We enjoy a good haunted house as much as anyone, but they are just a fraction of the supernatural sites worth visiting. Often the very reason a building is haunted is because ghosts are more likely to manifest near places of spiritual power.

Some are inflection points where all of human history pivoted, others are where a single now forgotten soul experienced a joy or sadness so profound that it forever marked the land.

They may have witnessed just one moment of immeasurable wonder or of wretched tragedy, or endured something banal so often that it became transcendent.

They are places where belief elevates experience, where the veil is thin, or where aggregations of art, beauty, or horror exceed the sum of their parts.

These are sites of the monstrous, of the sublime, or of the ridiculous.

Many are marked with elaborate monuments, even if people aren’t always sure what they are commemorating. Others go unnoticed save for the chill they’ll send up your spine.

We had a few dozen places we wanted to visit around Cleveland, but a combination of heat exhaustion and questionable gas station potato wedges cut our trip short . . . so we’ll have to return soon . . .
