“Haunted History of Columbus” — Nellie Kampmann, Guest Speaker

Certified hypnotherapist and author Nellie Kampmann works professionally in the field of history. Her interest in local ghost folklore led her to become a tour guide on the Columbus Landmarks Foundation’s yearly ghost tours. Nellie blogs about paranormal topics on Haunted History of Columbus, Ohio. She has a book on local ghost stories by the same name.

From the playful spirits of the Kelton House Museum & Garden to the wavy-armed apparition that prowls the fourth floor of Ohio State’s main library, Columbus is teeming with ghosts. Join us on a journey to meet mischievous souls and malevolent entities that aren’t quite ready to leave the city.
