"Fort Washington" House?

Featured Replies

Is there a old house hidden within "Fort Washington" on the Kings Island and Miami Valley Railroad? I’ve been told over the years and over hearing a few people on the trains going to the water park that there was a old house inside of it and used for storage. Dose anyone have any pictures or know what if anything is in there. Thank you.

There is infact a house in it. It was used for employees to rest and take breaks when there used to be actors for KI&MVRR. I believe it's now used for storage.

Yeah, it's there. It's used for storage now, the water dummy's for Drop Tower are in there and some other crap. It's really creepy going in there at night.

The last land owner to sell made a contractual agreement that his house that he had constructed himself would not be torn down from the property. The park honored the agreement and the house still stands within the park.

From all accounts I've heard from accredited park officials, that's not true. The house was there and the early Kings Island builders thought they'd utilize it as stated above -- for the workings of the train show.

isn't it haunted by Missouri Jane or what the story behind her?

She turned into a Banshee :-)

That's called a bump. By more than three years.

Now I have a tough question for you all. Is there any pictures of the inside? The abandoned link takes you to the site's home page.

I contacted the folks at abandonedonline.net and they said that their computer crashed and when they put everything back up they did not have those pictures. Perhaps try google earth just to get an overhead view.

Unlikely. Missouri Jane died in the 1800s, the house is from the 1900s. It was likely built long after her demise.

Based on the decoding topic. Here is some info for people stating some not accurate info

Bump!  After doing a search for the "Fort Washington House" (couldn't find any),  I didn't know that the ghost of Missouri Jane also haunts the International Restaurant, and employee's hear banging of pots and pans!!  Has anyone while working or visiting the park ever had anything strange happen to them?  Nothing has ever happened to me while there.

Here's a YouTube video of the haunted Kings Island stories, from WellHeyProductions!

 

That episode of ghost hunters is so inaccurate too...they did a good job at not investigating actual areas there have been reports of activity.

Does anyone know if there's a way to see photos of it? I tried the link but it has too many redirects and won't let me open it! LMK
