The Dent Schoolhouse

Cincinnati's Scariest Haunted House!

About The Dent Schoolhouse

Summary

Step into the Dent Haunted Schoolhouse, an 1896-built school plagued by a gruesome legend: janitor Charlie McFree allegedly murdered dozens of students over 10–20 years, hiding their bodies in the basement until the stench alerted the town. Now, the restless spirits of lost children—and McFree himself—haunt its halls. Consistently ranked among America’s top haunts.
