Slamming doors. The lights turn on and off. An unexplained cold breeze. Could paranormal phenomena be involved in these historic Covington properties? Some residents think so.

Some of Covington’s most significant historic homes are said to be haunted by their former inhabitants; many of whom are notable family members from NKY’s past, turned poltergeists, lurking in the shadows.

Author and local historian Karl Lietzenmayer will examine the documented lives of several prominent Covington residents who haunt their former homes in NKY’s next virtual hour of history. The presentation will take place via Zoom at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, February 9.

To register and participate in the free event, go to Zoom meeting registration page.

He also encouraged the preservation of original documents and photographs and helped start an internship program for budding historians.
