Get Haunted Midwest Presents: Father John’s Brewery

Bryan, Ohio | Est. 1896 | The Crypt & The Cathedral

This isn’t just a show. It’s an investigation. And this night matters—for more than one reason.

Originally a "severely gothic" Methodist church, Father John’s is a breathtaking blend of history and hospitality. But beneath the award-winning craft beer and bison steaks lies a deep-seated secret. During a 2012 renovation, workers unearthed a sealed crypt containing the remains of an unidentified church member from the 1800s. Today, that coffin remains a central feature, viewed through plexiglass by those brave enough to dine above it.

From the disembodied whispers in the lower levels to the spirits of a woman and child reported in the adjacent Stoned Goat Inn, Father John’s is a location where the past is never truly at rest.

Season One: Origins of the Movement

This event is a featured part of our Season One theme. We bridge the gap between 19th-century mystery and modern science by exploring the Origins of the Spiritualist Movement. Alongside our digital sensors, we will conduct sessions using "Ancestral Methods" the same low-tech, high-focus techniques used by seekers when this church was first dedicated in 1896.

The Charity Event: Investigation with Purpose

This August, we invite you to an extended 8-hour experience designed to slow the pace and deepen the connection. This is a Charity-Focused Event: 25% of net ticket profits from paid admissions will be donated to a suicide prevention organization.
