Haunted Toledo's Two-Minute Tales: The Gerber Basement at the Collingwood Arts Center
The Collingwood Arts Center is overflowing with stories of supernatural encounters, but none chill the blood more than those which are said to take place within the building's dark, cold basement. It is down here that a brooding mass of black energy is said to stalk the living. Some say they've even been chased out of the basement by this menacing phantom. Others believe this ghost is merely the misunderstood spirit of a former caretaker who was employed by the Ursuline nuns when they owned the building. Whatever the truth is, most who spend any amount of time in the Gerber Basement generally leave with the impression that they've come in contact with the Other Side.
