About Us

   After enjoying the experience of various Ghost Walks during vacation trips around the country, Cathi and Al Weber decided that our haunted city of Willoughby would be the perfect place for people to enjoy the entertainment of a Ghost Walk with our own local historical flavor! Now in its fourth season, the Willoughby Ghost Walk began operating in June of 2008.Your main ghost walk guide is Cathi Weber. Cathi has been interested in all things related to the paranormal since an early childhood supernatural encounter that remains unexplained to this day.  And, she always receives endless enjoyment from spinning a tale that makes your spine tingle!   Nicknamed the Ghost Lady, her interest in haunted locations or information regarding the paranormal in downtown Willoughby  has led to her becoming a local "ghost expert".  The Willoughby Ghost Walk was born out of an abiding love for the heart of this city and its rich, colorful history. She uses her natural-born storytelling ability to keep your experience pleasurable as well as extremely interesting.

   Cathi is the author of the book "Haunted Willoughby, Ohio" which details many of the locations and ghost stories you will recognize while on the Willoughby Ghost Walk.  She is also the founder of the Willoughby Area Paranormal Education and Research Society - a casual gathering of paranormal enthusiasts meeting regularly to explore, learn about and research the paranormal.  Won't you join us?
