The trail up Racoon Creek is sweet.....in fact thay entire Zaleski area is one of the best hiking spots in Ohio. With all the ghost towns and cemetaries I did get creeped out a little the times I've camped on the backpacking trail....great place with remains of old towns and Adena mounds.
Not too far north of Moonville is another tunnel, along King rd. That whole area is great to explore. Found many deer sheds, turtle shells, turkey feathers. Im glad I only live a few minutes away.

The Our House Museum in Gallipolis is home to a couple of ghosties with the mosty.
A former proprietor, Henry Cushing, is said to still roam the premises.
I believe that opera singer Jenny Lind, aka the Swedish Nightengale, has alos been known to roam the halls.

I've got this one featured on my website,
Theresa's Haunted History of the Tri-State:
The Our House Museum was built in 1819 as a tavern by Henry Cushing, and his sister Elizabeth. It is located in Gallipolis, OH. The apparition of Mr. Cushing, wearing short green breeches, has been seen in the kitchen, and also along the back pathway. Phantom footsteps are also often heard.
In the ballroom, which once hosted General Lafayette in May of 1825, has been the site of a woman singing, and chairs scraping, as if a large audience was being seated. The singing ghost is thought to be Jenny Lind, who stopped at Our House in the 1850s during her American tour.
The Cushing family owned and operated Our House until 1865. It was then purchased in 1933 by Dr. and Mrs. Charles E. Holzer, who donated it to the state in 1944 as a memorial to the French families who founded Gallipolis.
The link above has a few pictures, and some further links on the building and Jenny Lind.

Here's a couple more things that have happened here at the Main Gate at Sunoco in Haverhill in th past couple of months. By the way, we still hear the lockers slam at night when myself and the other guy work midnights.
I was setting at my computer late one night and I had the lights turned down low because if you have the lights on behind you they reflect of the window and you can't see out. There is a filing cabinet directly behind me that is about 3 feet high by 3 feet wide that seperates me from the back of the room. I looked up at the window in front of me and saw the reflection of someone standing behind me and leaning on the cabinet. This person had gray hair and was wearing a light colored shirt. I figured it was someone who had come in to get the key for the gas pumps and I just hadn't heard them come in so I turned around and there was no one there. Now I saw the reflection of this person standing there plain as day and there is no way they got out before I turned around since the door is about 10 feet away. It kind of freaked me out a little, but not near as bad as this next thing.
I always work the midnight shift here and it was about 2:30 or 3:00 am and I was on the computer looking at some sites about Indian artifacts when I heard a noise behind me and I turned and looked and I didn't see anyone. I thought maybe someone had come through the door, but there was no one there. About 15 minutes later I got up and walked back to the fridge to get something to drink and one of the drawers on a filing cabinet that we use to keep our personal items in was standing wide open. I had just been back there about a half hour or 45 minutes before that and this drawer was not open then and no one had been in there. The drawers on this cabinet have a latch that you have to push to open them so there's no way it came open on it's own, plus I tried to replicate it by leaving it open a little to see if maybe gravity had caused it and two hours later it it hadn't budged an inch and also the noise I had heard was the drawer being pulled open rather quickly and hitting the stop at the end because I opened it up rather quick to see if that was the noise and it was the exact same sound. Now that's eerie!

A couple of stories myself. I worked as a bartender at the Emmitt House from 99-01'. Busy Saturday and I was filling out a ticket facing the back of the bar, where all the liqour and odds and ends were kept. If you have been in the Emmitt House, you know about all of the knicknacks adorning the bar and walls. As I filled out the ticket, the poster of the 2 cats and the bottle of "Catsup" landed on my head and fell to the ground. No sonic boom, or anything that shook the bar. Everyone said, it looked like it jumped off of the top of the bar. We watched the security tape a little bit later, and sure enough, the thing literally jumped off and the bottom of the poster is what hit me!
The next weird thing was a weekday night, at midnight had just closed up and locked the doors. Sat down at the far end of the bar where the tv was and turned it on to relax before leaving. A couple of minutes later the channel changed and the remote was lying on the backside of the bar. Next, I swear I felt a cold presence behind me and the tv started changing channels quickly. I jumped up, grabbed the deposit bag and split. The owner asked why the tv was still on the next day! That seat was supposedly the favorite seat of the original owner! lol
The one occurence that truely makes me believe in the afterlife, my first son was born on November 18th, the same day my father passed away 7 years earlier! My wife and I had trouble conceiving and her due date wasnt until November 26th. She went in for a regular checkup on November 17th at noon. There were some complications, so they induced her, however he didnt come until just after midnight on the 18th!

I was playing music in an acoustic duo at the Shawnee State Lodge in Southern Ohio about 10 years ago. On the main floor, in the lower lounge area there is a room that has a bunch of couches and chairs and doors that lead out to the deck. If you have ever been there, it is to the left of the restaurant and has a big canoe on the wall. We set up right in front of the fireplace. Behind us and over top of the fireplace there was a giant painting (about 4 by 5 foot) of an Indian. I believe he was looking thru a bush, with bow and arrow in hand, at a deer. Our very last song that night was one I wrote about Tecumseh. There were about 50 people in the room, some big wigs from lodges all over the state and their families plus regular lodge guest. On the very last note of the song, I noticed everyone get this look of shock on their face and I thought, 'Man did I hit a bad note or what". Then there was a giant "CRASH" behind us. The picture, which had hung there since the lodge opened many years ago, had come loose, fell down about 6 inches to the top of the fire place mantle and then slowly fell forward and crashed flat on the floot behind us. The glass broke into a million pieces. It covered about every square inch of the floor. Everyone got the heeby jeebys and we packed up and went home. I don't know what happened to the painting, but I haven't seen it back up. I know one thing, I won't play that song out there again.
