Upcoming Events

West clinton historic haunts

Join the walking dead on Thursday, October 3rd for West Clinton Historic Haunts: Detroit Shoreway’s family-friendly interactive walking tour, designed to both fright and delight audiences with a selection of vivacious, villainous, and hilarious Cleveland histories. Hosted by the West Clinton Block Club in cooperation with Near West Theatre and the Northwest Neighborhoods Community Development Corporation, visitors will experience a lantern-lit, guided walking tour filled with artistic storytelling as they navigate the charming residential areas surrounding Gordon Square Arts District.

You, the audience, become the detectives in this year’s Historic Haunts, as you journey into the true crime, cold cases, and unsolved mysteries of Cleveland’s past. Join Eliot Ness as he visits you from the beyond to seek help in finding Cleveland’s most nefarious serial killer – The Torso Murderer. Groups will be guided through various tales, clues, and suspects related to this unsolved case, but be sure to keep on your toes! Other stories, ghosts, and frights will be wrapped into your journey to confuse and delight. The tour will end with the audience voting on the culprit and hearing the final piece of the puzzle. A real-life choose-your-own-adventure for true crime enthusiasts young and old.

Run time approx. 60 minutes. The tour is just under a mile long.
