Haunted Places in Southeastern Ohio

My Dad went to that High School in Wakefield. My Aunt lives right down in front of where it used to be. I think she owns that land, but I could be wrong. I had thought that they tore it down, because kids were going up there. Like I said, I could be wrong.

[Bleeding Red]

You are correct. It was torn down years ago.

I had a relative that lived on Wakefield Manor Road when the school was there. There used to be 4-5 REALLY old abondoned houses on that road that looked extremely creepy. They are all probably gone now too.

What was you relatives name? My fahter's name was Dunham, and my Aunts last name was Williams. Her house is right on Bigrun road, right down in front of the school.

[Bleeding Red]

Philly- last name was Mullins. They lived further up Wakefield Manor, near the old nursing home.

Yea, I know where you are talking about. The name rings a bell, but can't place them.

Woodland Cemetary

I have lived in franklin furnace area my whole life and let me tell ya there are some creepy places around here. The cemetary back in the woods that someone on here talked about seeing when they were hunting arrowheads is really haunted. Its on raike lane. I lived in the little yellow house on the right before you go down the little dirt/gravel road. That house was haunted too. the whole area was once called french grant. There are 3 graves on the deed to the house. that cemetary was suppost to have like 3000 graves at one time. now it only has like 20 maybe less. I think the graves in the yard were part of that cemetary but im not sure. I lived there for almost 9 years then moved back for 2 when i became an adult. Its not a scary place but you definately know they are there. that whole little area is haunted. all the way up old 52. junior furnace cemetary is haunted too. Its up more in franklin furnace. I have witnessed alot of stuff there. woodland cemetary in coal grove is one of my favorites. i walk there everyday. it is definetly haunted.

wilson hall and room 428 it is sealed off from residnts and the insane asylum, and the cementaries just look it up on google

actually most of the old insane asylum is made up of offices and the Kennedy Art Museum. i believe the old TB ward/children's asylum up on the hill is the only part still condemned, but i could be wrong.

I've heard some stories of the old house across from giovanni's in Minford on the corner of 335 and 139. Has anyone else heard this?

[swbaseballfan]

Hey, everyone. Just wanted to stop in and say hi! I'm the Theresa in Theresa's Haunted History of the Tri-State, but I'm also an investigator with Huntington Paranormal Investigations and Research, which while based in WV, serves most of Ohio and Kentucky as well.

A few haunted hot spots in the southern Ohio area that I haven't seen mentioned are:
Our House Museum-Gallipolis*
Emmitt House-Waverly+
Alpha Portland Cement Factory-Ironton*
Monitor School-Coal Grove*+
Kell(e)y Cemetery-Ironton area+

+ Denotes a place investigated by HPIR
* Denotes a place featured on my website

There are lots of great places throughout the state of Ohio, and even though I'm backlogged on getting entries posted, I'm always looking for tips on new places to feature on my site. And, as always, HPIR is always willing to look at a case, free of charge! We seem to specialize in residentials, but we like to take a break and have some data to share with the public from public places as well! So...if you've got a place you'd like to see researched and featured...or investigated, please drop me a line. Thanks!

I've heard that a couple of the older houses on South St in Jackson are supposed to be haunted.

I also heard of a house on Main St - I think it is the Edward Jones office now. I guess it used to be a doctor's office years ago and people have seen the doctor (Fitzpatrick?) in the kitchen years after his death.

My grandmother used to live near Coalton and told me that there was once an Indian village between Coalton and Jackson. My uncle was walking home one night past that site and felt someone was following him. When he turned around there was no one there but he could see the shadow of an Indian behind him. He ran and the shadow stayed with him until he reached the edge of the village site and then it stopped and watched him go. Not sure if that was just a story to scare me, but she always swore it was true.

i have been in Woodland several times and the only thing i have seen is a flashing white light close to the Lowery mosilium. when we first saw it we thought it was a reflection from our flashlights. we turned off our lights and we still saw it flashing. my friend walked over to the area to check it out and when he got within 10 ft or so of the place it stopped.

if you want to go to a truly haunted place check out Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston, WV. my group went there last summer and experienced some weird things. we caught 1 clear voice on our voice recorder. we caught the sound of someone breathing in deeply. we also caught on recorders as well as heard ourselves what sounded like either a long drawn out moan or an old metal door dragging on the concrete floor. no one else was in the area that we heard it in.

Moonville isn't that creepy in the daytime.....but I wouldn't want to go there at night. I took some pictures with nothing on them...although some have pictures with figures in or around the tunnel.

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.
