Collingwood Arts Center, Toledo OH

The art center on Toledo's Collingwood Boulevard is located in a gothic, hundred-year-old mansion which once served as a convent, a Catholic college, and a retirement home for nuns. Its basement is haunted by a terrible entity which is draped in black and walks the same route every time, through the basement. It also lingers on the basement stairs on occasion. Gerber House, another part of the arts center, is located very nearby. It was built in 1872 and is haunted by a ghostly bride who appears in the main parlor, and the ghosts of children who run out of the closets in the back room. A malevolent nun haunts the back rows of the theater, sending "sparks and images" at those she doesn't like. Employees sometimes see strange blurry things, "molecular windstorms."

Chris Woodyard talks about a visit to this building in Haunted Ohio III, and she claims it was one of the most frightening places she's been.
