A hands-on, interactive training session at Bihl Manor prepares participants to conduct their own ghost hunt. Before the lights are lowered, a professional workshop strengthens key skills for safe, effective investigating. Topics include spiritual grounding and protection with energy clearing practices, sharpening intuitive awareness to sense presences ahead of the equipment, planning and carrying out a respectful, methodical investigation, practical use of tools such as EMF meters, EVP recorders, spirit boxes, and more, and approaches to reviewing evidence, eliminating natural explanations, and organizing findings. Set within a property that began in 1890 as the home of Jerome Bihl and his wife, the story of the manor spans generations. By the 1920s it belonged to Clarence and Daisy Wolfe. Clarence died within the house in the 1940s, and Daisy passed away in her bedroom in the 1960s. It later operated as a children's group home for three decades, a period marked by constant turnover and hardship. After the facility closed in the 1990s, a succession of owners stayed briefly, leaving after encounters they could not explain. Today the site is regarded as one of Ohio's most active paranormal locations. Investigators and overnight visitors often describe a dark, human-shaped figure in the upstairs hallway and parlor, sometimes seeming to watch from the doorways. In the basement and along the steep wooden stairs, people report phantom footsteps, faint whispers, and rhythmic tapping that recalls its years as a care facility. Many also mention abrupt cold spots, a strong sense of being watched, unexplained touches, and surges of energy that drain batteries quickly. Because the house once hosted funeral viewings, some believe the front parlor contains a lingering portal that attracts spirits who were never residents.
