A video of "The Tale of Rap, Rap, Rap" - a Worthington Ghost Story
A spooky Worthington tale brought to you by the Worthington Public Library.
Today the old building is 'Fine Lines' a store that sells paper, cards, stationery, wrapping paper, wedding invitations, pens... and that sort of thing.
'Fine Lines' is at 657 High Street in Worthington, in Old... Olde Worthington. The story goes the building on High Street just north of the Worthington Inn was built in 1890 as a general store.
The Worthington Library site says:
" At the time the store was in business there was a customer named Irwin who was very unhappy with the seed that he bought for his garden. He claimed that the seed did not grow. Irwin became angry and began to rap on the store's back door very, very hard.
Laurel Tacoma, Library Associate at Worthington Libraries, tells the story of Irwin's past and the mysterious knocking that employees at Fine Lines still hear coming from the store's back room."
The door on the alley ... the door to the back room at Fine Lines says "No Entrance" are store employees still trying to keep Irwin out?
The video features photos from the Worthington Historical Society. Real historical photos. Mine here are of course doctored up for Halloween. Speaking of "Doctors" have you seen the video about the Worthington ghost story about Dr. Morrow's ghost? It's from Worthington Libraries too.
Fine Lines, 657 High St., Worthington Ohio 43085
