The Rectory
WEEKDAY PARANORMAL INVESTIGATIONS: Sedamsville Rectory is now available for hunts during the week. We require that you have at least two people for the night. Please note that this is only valid for days Sunday thru Thursday. If you need to book on Friday or Sat, please visit this page.
The Sedamsville Rectory was built over 130 years ago and is listed on the National Historic Register. The Midwest Preservation Society is working hard to restore it back to its original condition. For the first time ever, the "Rectory" is now available for overnight ghost hunts. With the facility being over 130 years old, we know there are many stories to tell.
The facility has over 6000 square feet of space and had 4 levels. On the first level, it has a parlor, a living room, library, formal dining room, a kitchen as well as a bathroom. The kitchen has a servants staircase going up to the second level where the servants quarters are located. The second level has four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a beautiful staircase going to the first floor. It also has a staircase leading up to the huge attic. It is located near the servants quarters.
We have had a number of volunteers working on painting and restoring the inside of the Rectory. Several have left and
promised not to return. Some have seen dark shadows or mist, while others report seeing movement under the doorway when only two people are working at the time.
The Rectory has had its share of deaths. We know a man was found dead on the street in front of the Rectory. We have also found that years ago a child was found dead in front of it with a noose around the child's neck.
Father Donald MacLeod, author of The History of Roman Catholicism in North America, was struck by a train and killed in Sedamsville near this location in the late 1800's. He was on his way to provide comfort and sermon to a seriously ill woman when he was hit by an oncoming train on the Indianapolis and Cincinnati Railroad and killed instantly.
Many believe his spirit still haunts Sedamsville to this day.
