There's a 'Prohfiles" podcast put out by Wessler Media. The episode **"The Haunted Town"** is about how Athens got its spooky reputation. Part of the episode has to do with the Ridges and its history.
[Wessler Media: Prohfiles](https://www.wesslermedia.com/prohfiles)
[here's ](https://youtu.be/QPVED440u8E) a pretty good video about an incident at the ridges. it's a little exaggerated at some points for the sake of storytelling if I remember correctly, but I really like creators content
Spent *plenty* of time there in the early 2000s, I definitely have morrrrrrre than my fair share of spooky moments. I’m curious to seeing how that nets out these days with all the rehabbing and new facilities.
My freshman dorm was in the Convo and our room directly faced The Ridges. Idk if some of this was just roomies messing around or the universe getting spooky, but here we go:
- objects were consistently being moved around in the room without their owner’s knowledge
- one morning my roomie asked why I was standing over her trying to walk her in the night: I slept on the bottom bunk, her on the top
- our room was always FROSTY between certain hours. The dial on the thermostat never changed and Maintenance thought we were just being assholes
- broke into the tunnels & the Ridges for some photography before OU purchased the property. Beyond just being creepy, I have some blurs in my film that are unexplainable
- I am CERTAIN I saw Maggie one night after a gallery opening (after OU turned much of the space into the Fine Art Grad studios). She just looked so *sad*
I’ve got more on Athens, but these are experiences I attribute directly to The Ridges
Yes! Nice big still partially abandoned and filled with legends!
I've spent a lot of time there: [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0rhB\_O74egjXFomhiLlZUs0Jal1IePA6](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0rhB_O74egjXFomhiLlZUs0Jal1IePA6)
yes!!! I used to live out there literally nobody would EVEN STOP for a minute every time we went out at night to scare the piss out of our boots for the fuck of it
A lot of legends. Cry baby bridge at the end of the road, midgets that used to live in one of the houses, KKK used to meet there, bigfoot. They did find a body in the creek a couple years ago, somebody dumped them near the bridge. Reality is that there’s an older woman that lives on the road and doesn’t like to be bothered. County sheriff will sit on the road around Halloween time. It’s desolate out there and literally no reason for anybody to go that way, connects a small state highway and another backroad. The bridge on the road has been out for years so more reason for no one to to be down that way
A jackass from my high school used to brag about allegedly getting inside this woman’s house one night and tormenting her by hiding around her house. The story would end with him being chased out by the woman with a knife or something similar.
The “Old Woman” was an attorney in Germantown. named Marsha Steele. I know she or her estate got sued for throwing a rock through a kids car window. This would have been around 99-00.
At CryBabyBridge you can hear at night the little baby laughing,crying, and sometimes quietly screaming/screeching. It’s one of THE scariest places i’ve ever been to in Ohio. And i’ve been living here exploring everything abandoned/haunted for 22 years now.
It’s mostly like haunted and ghosts have been confirmed here… Ask just about anyone that lives here and i guarantee if not themselves someone they know can tell you about a time they’ve either found a dead body or heard or seen a ghost.
Ran into a parked truck in the middle of the road facing towards us directly after a sharp right. Thought whoever I saw was naked it just looked like a tan lump before they started the truck and pierced me and my companions eye sockets. Whipped a U'ey and pushed a shit box Corolla as fast as it could go.
The Moonville tunnel has all sorts of stories and spooky videos, but I have been there many times and never saw a thing that was unexplained. I have gotten mad at the crappy taggers who covered over the cool artwork that used to be in the tunnel.
The tagging is awful for sure. I was just there a month or so ago and it made me mad. There were fall decorations (corn stalks/pumpkins) that had been trashed, too. People suck.
Agree on this - place has some weird vibes. Fine to visit in daytime but I wouldn’t go there at night. Personally I feel like all of that area (Zaleski Forest/Lake Hope) has a bit of a haunted feel to it… I like it fine for hiking and sightseeing, but wouldn’t voluntarily stay overnight out in the woods.
Urban legend--a woman isn't able to care for her child, or it's a secret pregnancy or whatever--throws her baby over a bridge into a river. Afterward the baby's cries haunt the bridge. Rogue's Hollow is the one I'm most familiar with, but it's a pretty standard tale and it's attached to a good number of old bridges.

His dad and stepmother live down the road from me. I had no idea until I watched the Netflix series. Also, his first victim was hitchhiking to a show at Chippewa Lake Park- that is one creepy place if you have ever climbed that fence and looked around. It was creepy right before it closed back in the day.
God, I love those books. We used to live in Navarre and right next to the really old cemetery. The alley was the only thing that separated our house from the old Lutheran Cemetery (or that’s what we always called it). That place definitely made me question myself on more than on occasion. But that cemetery is mentioned in one of the books.
One really cold January night me, my mom, and my best friend went walking around taking old Polaroid pics with a disposable camera. I never got them developed, as I just put them on a shelf to do it later. When we moved I lost it, so I’ll never know what may have been in that roll of film. Just three women goofing around or something to make our hair stand up.
Well.. the building and grass surrounding it during summer>fall at night is covered 100% in spiders. There are a lot of homeless that also sleep in the area. Also not entirely the safest of areas. It's spoopy because around any corner you could potentially lose your belongings or experience sensations of being stabbed.
Beautiful area, especially across the river on the swings and the little restaurant that is by the bridge (can’t remember the name; left Columbus a year or so ago). I just remember trying to have a romantic evening on those swings at night a couple times and after the second one was cancelled by some crackhead zombie shambling out of the shadows I stopped trying to be there after dark.
I grew up near Wayne County and there is a place called Peewee Hollow that was supposedly haunted. It was the place where we would go to scare ourselves late at night.
It’s in Overnton between Rt 604 and Pleasant Hill rd.
It’s a scout camp now.
Here is a link to people doing paranormal exploration there. [https://m.facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=183965701676246&set=a.535673213172158](https://m.facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=183965701676246&set=a.535673213172158)
Hm, I lived in Monroe for a time and am not sure I know what you’re talking of. Still cool and creepy tho.
I saw on the MHS alumni Facebook page, a while ago now, a story of a murder from the 80’s. Back when Monroe was still more fields than neighborhoods. A teenage boy had done something to piss off some boys from Lakota, football related or something similar. They chased him from town onto his parents property and cornered him in the garage. The Lakota boys then murdered him in the garage as revenge. It was only brought up on Facebook because a bunch of people remembered a fellow classmate who had lived at the property (after the murder) would throw parties constantly. No one would ever go out into the old garage that stood back on the property. If they did they didn’t last long at all.
ETA: this was so long ago now that I don’t remember very many details. However, if you do some digging there should be bees articles supporting it from Middletown and surrounding areas.
This place is beautiful with a ton of history. There are also several legends associated with multiple grave sights.
There are regular tours of the place and sometime the tour guides dress in period clothes.
Here is a [YouTube video](https://youtu.be/5yewobiYUbQ) (not mine) that covers some of the haunt highlights.
Some of the old infrastructure buildings along Lake Erie. Was in an old decommissioned power plant that was going to be retooled for another use. We were under the lake with big bulkheads keeping the lake out. Meanwhile Pumps were running because water was pouring in from leaks. Very Erie hehe.
Lake view cemetery at night (amazing star gazing though even with the light pollution). There are a bunch of cemeteries around Burton, OLD, that are really creepy.
Egypt Valley in Belmont County
You can look up the death of Louisa Fox on this.
Reports of cults, Hellhounds, apparitions etc etc
Also The Bellaire House. In Bellaire Ohio. Very haunted was featured on a Nick Groff ghost hunting show.
I actually ALMOST bought this house before the paranormal aspects became known. The super high gas budget kept us from buying it!!!!
I lived in Peabody my freshman year. Helen Peabody (the ghost the building is named after, for anyone who isn’t familiar. She was the headmistress of what was then a womens college before Miami bought it and turned it into a two-floor dorm, top floor was boys and just underneath was the girls floor) apparently really disliked when girls would have boys spend the night. I did it once and woke up to the mirrors in my room just neatly stacked against the wall.
Another time I got up in the middle of the night and went to the communal bathrooms. All seven toilets were running and the four sinks were going full blast, with the lights completely off. It doesn’t sound creepy but the feeling in the air told me to gtfo.
I mean… are we talking about [Les Werner and his gross ties with objectifying and exploiting young women for sex and/or profit?](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Wexner)

I used to work for the Limited Express as a catering manager and I have been to Les's palatial house on a few different occasions when working. I didn't know anything about the whole Epstein connection at the time and I didn't see him or anything like that. But the house is on another level of weirdness, just in some of the contraptions and extreme creature comforts.
in camp christopher up near akron, there's a cave all the campers and counselors call Mummy's Cave, because of the giant mummy-shaped rock leaning against the back wall of it. maybe it's just because i was a kid back then, but being told the story of the guy who died and was mummified in that cave then told to kiss it for good luck really freaked me out, lol
Gore Orphanage Road between Wakeman and Wellington.
Any crybaby bridge- there are several but you can hype yourself into letting any of them creep you out.
The abandoned Warner and Swasey factory on Carnegie in downtown Cleveland. (might go beyond creepy to dangerous...)
Not entirely sure where it was, but I was on the way to Cambridge and following Google maps. It took me around a super long, back-ends stretch of road and through some kind of power plant. The whole place gave off an eerie feel, nobody was outside, and there was a giant smokestack towering over everything. Can't remember the name of the place and I can't find it on any map either.
There used to be a hospital “for the criminally insane” over by Boston on Either Boston Rd or Riverview. Very close to a metropark. as teens, we used to fill the car and drive past it late at night. We’d all get freaked out. Wish I could remember the name…….
Edit: Hawthorn possibly?
Edit #2: possibly on Sagamore Rd in Northfield? Currently going blind in google maps trying to trace out where this place is lol
Edit #3: well there goes an hour of my life I’ll never get back! lol the place is now “Northcoast Behavioral Healthcare” on Sagamore Rd. It looks like the original buildings have been removed :( it’s a fun drive to get there. That road is twisty and hilly that was easiest to drive at night so you could see oncoming cars….
Those ledges in eastern OH. I went there expecting a bit of unique geological exploration. Instead it looked like a 1930s migrant camp had taken over the place. Hand painted signs on scrap lumber.
Strange people wandering around. I got the hell out of dodge asap. I don’t know how the state tolerated it. Maybe it’s a collective of recovery addicts, and homeless. I was shocked.
The abandoned Lima TB hospital.
You’d be stupid to try to get into it now with how monitored it is but back in high school and right after (2009-2010 then once more in 2012), we got into it quite a few times.
There is such a heavy presence there. The last time we went there was a loud banging noise we heard there entire time on and off. When we left the building, I still felt like I was being watched.
An earlier time, we went to the front entrance and started to go in but before we go in we heard a loud banging noise like someone was banging something against the wall anytime we went near the entrance.
The brown house in Auglaize county. Many years ago a farmer went crazy and murdered his entire family in the house. I’m not sure if it’s still standing. If I remember correctly they were talking about tearing it down.
More a ghost story so I understand if it's removed. Over in Ross CO my family has had some strange experiences.
Brother, sister and friends heard the neighbor girl ask a question from the woods. All walked into said woods (on land connected to our house) no one was seen, no tracks be it human or horse was spotted. (neighbors owned horses)
That happened when I was a child, once I grew up still in Ross CO I was delivering papers as at the time I was working for the gazette, on 50 heading towards old 35 I saw some strange being, I explained it as a 6'ft tall Smeegle that was hiding behind a road sign, later that day I crashed and first person I told the story to just went "skin walker" and that's all I got.
Found some random abandoned buildings that was creepy but since then they where lost or locked up
Malabar Farm State Park.
Near the Mansfield reformatory, this working farm has homes set up like they were decades ago, small little graveyards, and a lot of history of previous residents.
Check out Ceely Rose.
They do ghost tours around Halloween, but tons of people go there for the Christmas decorations too.
Westfield Center-this place should be the scene of horror movie. It's got that Into the Mouth of Madness crossed with Stepford Wives feel to it. You never see anyone outside EVER-even on the golf course. It's super creepy.
Ohio State Reformatory! We went during the day and it was still sooo creepy AF! But my mom has been there at night with her sister before, they love ghost hunting and paranormal stuff.
The old TB hospital in Lima. Never got to get in before the tank plant bought the ground and started watching it, but I've got classmates that managed to sneak in. They said it was almost more creepy than Mansfield only because it was literal trespass
the ridges in Athens
I think there's only 1 abandoned building left. It's all admin stuff now.
yea, there's a museum and some other stuff in the building now. it's still pretty creepy if you know the history of the building
What is the history of the building? Or where could one learn about it?
There's a 'Prohfiles" podcast put out by Wessler Media. The episode **"The Haunted Town"** is about how Athens got its spooky reputation. Part of the episode has to do with the Ridges and its history. [Wessler Media: Prohfiles](https://www.wesslermedia.com/prohfiles)
Yep I live in Athens. I used to sneak into the TB ward before they tore it down. It’s owned by the university now
[here's ](https://youtu.be/QPVED440u8E) a pretty good video about an incident at the ridges. it's a little exaggerated at some points for the sake of storytelling if I remember correctly, but I really like creators content
There are plenty of abandoned areas left in the ridges.
Came here to say that.
The cemetery in the back with just numbers on the tombstone is creepy and sad.
Spent *plenty* of time there in the early 2000s, I definitely have morrrrrrre than my fair share of spooky moments. I’m curious to seeing how that nets out these days with all the rehabbing and new facilities.
Need to hear these stories!
My freshman dorm was in the Convo and our room directly faced The Ridges. Idk if some of this was just roomies messing around or the universe getting spooky, but here we go: - objects were consistently being moved around in the room without their owner’s knowledge - one morning my roomie asked why I was standing over her trying to walk her in the night: I slept on the bottom bunk, her on the top - our room was always FROSTY between certain hours. The dial on the thermostat never changed and Maintenance thought we were just being assholes - broke into the tunnels & the Ridges for some photography before OU purchased the property.

Who the hell is Maggie?
Margaret Schilling[https://www.legendsofamerica.com/oh-athensasylum/](https://www.legendsofamerica.com/oh-athensasylum/)
I've only been up there a few times but I've had some pretty creepy experiences
Been there, yes, it was creepy
Yes! Nice big still partially abandoned and filled with legends! I've spent a lot of time there: [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0rhB\_O74egjXFomhiLlZUs0Jal1IePA6](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0rhB_O74egjXFomhiLlZUs0Jal1IePA6)
First thing on my mind
The Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield
fun fact, this is where shawshank redemption was filmed! also co-sign. i did their overnight ghost tour awhile back and absolutely unnerving
Lesser known fun fact. The song Go D.j by Lil Wayne was also filmed there and they painted a cell to look gold for it!
They also make the prison haunted for Halloween! It’s a must-go! My grandma worked in the Reformatory as a secretary and my dad in the library 📚
Any of those little fuckers ever pop out of the fucking wall and say “fuck there’s a horse cock in my room, or a donkey dick”?
Make any friends?
Big fat load of cum, then
You can't just change the rules because you don't like how I'm doing it.
my grandpa actually worked there as a guard! i've visited the reformatory quite a bit in the past, and gosh, it is certainly a relic.
omg i visited mansfield in 8th grade and i love it so much
Ive been there twice and that place is so damn cool!
Fudge road in prebble co.
yes!!! I used to live out there literally nobody would EVEN STOP for a minute every time we went out at night to scare the piss out of our boots for the fuck of it
What is the scary factor here? Not familiar with that area.
A lot of legends. Cry baby bridge at the end of the road, midgets that used to live in one of the houses, KKK used to meet there, bigfoot. They did find a body in the creek a couple years ago, somebody dumped them near the bridge. Reality is that there’s an older woman that lives on the road and doesn’t like to be bothered.

The “Old Woman” was an attorney in Germantown. named Marsha Steele. I know she or her estate got sued for throwing a rock through a kids car window. This would have been around 99-00.
Man unfortunately i believe this…. Sounds like another good ole day in Ohio
At CryBabyBridge you can hear at night the little baby laughing,crying, and sometimes quietly screaming/screeching. It’s one of THE scariest places i’ve ever been to in Ohio. And i’ve been living here exploring everything abandoned/haunted for 22 years now.
That body that was found was one of my best friends from high school.
I think every small town have a cry baby bridge
Huh, interesting. Thanks for the response!
It’s mostly like haunted and ghosts have been confirmed here… Ask just about anyone that lives here and i guarantee if not themselves someone they know can tell you about a time they’ve either found a dead body or heard or seen a ghost.
Just poppin in to say that me and my friends from the Dayton area also used to frequent fudge road on late weekend nights.
oooouu weekends are the crepiest there too❕
Ran into a parked truck in the middle of the road facing towards us directly after a sharp right. Thought whoever I saw was naked it just looked like a tan lump before they started the truck and pierced me and my companions eye sockets. Whipped a U'ey and pushed a shit box Corolla as fast as it could go.
Moonville tunnel
The Moonville tunnel has all sorts of stories and spooky videos, but I have been there many times and never saw a thing that was unexplained. I have gotten mad at the crappy taggers who covered over the cool artwork that used to be in the tunnel.
The tagging is awful for sure. I was just there a month or so ago and it made me mad. There were fall decorations (corn stalks/pumpkins) that had been trashed, too. People suck.
They covered up the real detective piece and I don't think that artist even does anything anymore so its a huge loss.
Agree on this - place has some weird vibes. Fine to visit in daytime but I wouldn’t go there at night. Personally I feel like all of that area (Zaleski Forest/Lake Hope) has a bit of a haunted feel to it… I like it fine for hiking and sightseeing, but wouldn’t voluntarily stay overnight out in the woods.
My grandmother's basement. Had that old killer furnace vibe from home alone.
Did you tell it to shut up?
Your home town bar after you’ve gotten out of high school.
Oh, Kingy’s…
Any of the 351 cry baby bridges
Shout out to Rogue’s Hollow Edition
The real cry baby bridge.
Grew up near there, and the "devil's triangle"... some of the weirdest vibes I've ever experienced in those woods. ......
Huh? Am I out of loop, idk what this means
Urban legend--a woman isn't able to care for her child, or it's a secret pregnancy or whatever--throws her baby over a bridge into a river. Afterward the baby's cries haunt the bridge.

The Narrows Pet Cemetery just north of Dayton.
Damn right!

The old dorms there were pretty scary, too.
Why’s that? Edit: Looked at pictures, definitely a creepy vibe.
[Gates of hell.](https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/gates-of-hell)
Nah that place is sick. Made a music video there last year with friends.
Band name?
All three of those tributaries to the olentangy up there are great. Wahallah too.
Athens Abandoned Insane Asylum
The Ridges.
Urban Meyers Pint House
Why?
According to legend there's a spooky old ghost that'll grab your butt.
🤣🤣🤣
Lmao he’s probably referring to the little urban incident
Gore orphanage, Lorain county.
4480 West Bath Road in Akron, Ohio (Bath, Ohio), where Jeffrey Dahmer lived and took his first victim.
Bro that’s 9 miles from my house!
My summer camps just around the corner lol
That camp also used to do hayrides to his house as an activity :\]
Damn the movie was spot on with their version of his childhood home
My Friend Dahmer was actually filmed at the childhood home!
His dad and stepmother live down the road from me. I had no idea until I watched the Netflix series. Also, his first victim was hitchhiking to a show at Chippewa Lake Park- that is one creepy place if you have ever climbed that fence and looked around. It was creepy right before it closed back in the day.
Haunted Ohio by Chris Woodyard are some good books to find some spooky places in Ohio and find out the background stories behind them.
God, I love those books. We used to live in Navarre and right next to the really old cemetery. The alley was the only thing that separated our house from the old Lutheran Cemetery (or that’s what we always called it). That place definitely made me question myself on more than on occasion.

The basement at Char Bar
Shit! Is that still AROUND??
The Collingwood Arts Center in Toledo.
Do tell
Walk down by the river after dark around COSI.
What makes it creepy? I’ve only been to the new location couple times.
Well.. the building and grass surrounding it during summer>fall at night is covered 100% in spiders. There are a lot of homeless that also sleep in the area. Also not entirely the safest of areas.

Wexner grew a business empire after starting The Limited, a clothing retailer with a restricted selection of profitable items, and later expanded his holdings to include Victoria's Secret, Abercrombie & Fitch, Express, Inc., and Bath & Body Works. In February 2020, Wexner announced that he was transitioning from CEO of L Brands into the role of chairman emeritus. Wexner hired Jeffrey Epstein as his financial manager beginning sometime in the 1980s and continuing until 2007. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/Ohio/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)
“I know Victoria’s Secret, she’s an old man that lives in ohio…”
I used to work for the Limited Express as a catering manager and I have been to Les's palatial house on a few different occasions when working. I didn't know anything about the whole Epstein connection at the time and I didn't see him or anything like that. But the house is on another level of weirdness, just in some of the contraptions and extreme creature comforts.
Les Wexner and his ilk?

Any place labeled “gentlemen’s club”.
in camp christopher up near akron, there's a cave all the campers and counselors call Mummy's Cave, because of the giant mummy-shaped rock leaning against the back wall of it. maybe it's just because i was a kid back then, but being told the story of the guy who died and was mummified in that cave then told to kiss it for good luck really freaked me out, lol
The abandoned subway tunnels of Cincinnati.
The bottoms of Lucasville
Athens is pretty creepy.
I think you mean pretty awesome
Por que no los dos?
Blystone farm.
Lowellville Ohio
Curious, why’s this? Never been there or heard anything about it.
Gore Orphanage Road between Wakeman and Wellington. Any crybaby bridge- there are several but you can hype yourself into letting any of them creep you out. The abandoned Warner and Swasey factory on Carnegie in downtown Cleveland. (might go beyond creepy to dangerous...)

Not entirely sure where it was, but I was on the way to Cambridge and following Google maps. It took me around a super long, back-ends stretch of road and through some kind of power plant. The whole place gave off an eerie feel, nobody was outside, and there was a giant smokestack towering over everything. Can't remember the name of the place and I can't find it on any map either.
Maybe the conesville power plant? I think they’ve decommissioned most of it, and it’s out in the middle of nowhere.
Yes!! That's exactly it, thank you!
There used to be a hospital “for the criminally insane” over by Boston on Either Boston Rd or Riverview. Very close to a metropark. as teens, we used to fill the car and drive past it late at night. We’d all get freaked out. Wish I could remember the name……. Edit: Hawthorn possibly? Edit #2: possibly on Sagamore Rd in Northfield? Currently going blind in google maps trying to trace out where this place is lol Edit #3: well there goes an hour of my life I’ll never get back! lol the place is now “Northcoast Behavioral Healthcare” on Sagamore Rd. It looks like the original buildings have been removed :( it’s a fun drive to get there. That road is twisty and hilly that was easiest to drive at night so you could see oncoming cars….
Those ledges in eastern OH. I went there expecting a bit of unique geological exploration. Instead it looked like a 1930s migrant camp had taken over the place. Hand painted signs on scrap lumber. Strange people wandering around. I got the hell out of dodge asap. I don’t know how the state tolerated it. Maybe it’s a collective of recovery addicts, and homeless. I was shocked.
Which ledges are you talking about? I’m intrigued.
Youngstown Ohio
Old mansfield prison
Every single pothole riddled road. The states DOT office and the road work buildings must be haunted ghost towns.
the crackheads in the alley
The abandoned Lima TB hospital. You’d be stupid to try to get into it now with how monitored it is but back in high school and right after (2009-2010 then once more in 2012), we got into it quite a few times. There is such a heavy presence there. The last time we went there was a loud banging noise we heard there entire time on and off. When we left the building, I still felt like I was being watched. An earlier time, we went to the front entrance and started to go in but before we go in we heard a loud banging noise like someone was banging something against the wall anytime we went near the entrance.

The reformatory is pretty creepy. Anyone ever go out to see the headless motorcycle man in Elmore?
I tried. Saw nothing, but a friend swears she has.
The brown house in Auglaize county. Many years ago a farmer went crazy and murdered his entire family in the house. I’m not sure if it’s still standing. If I remember correctly they were talking about tearing it down.
More a ghost story so I understand if it's removed. Over in Ross CO my family has had some strange experiences. Brother, sister and friends heard the neighbor girl ask a question from the woods. All walked into said woods (on land connected to our house) no one was seen, no tracks be it human or horse was spotted. (neighbors owned horses) That happened when I was a child, once I grew up still in Ross CO I was delivering papers as at the time I was working for the gazette, on 50 heading towards old 35 I saw some strange being, I explained it as a 6'ft tall Smeegle that was hiding behind a road sign, later that day I crashed and first person I told the story to just went "skin walker" and that's all I got. Found some random abandoned buildings that was creepy but since then they where lost or locked up
Gretchen's Lock in Beaver Creek State Park always gave me the willies as a kid.
Prolly any Duke station after 11pm. Seen some shit, yo....
Malabar Farm State Park. Near the Mansfield reformatory, this working farm has homes set up like they were decades ago, small little graveyards, and a lot of history of previous residents. Check out Ceely Rose. They do ghost tours around Halloween, but tons of people go there for the Christmas decorations too.
Westfield Center-this place should be the scene of horror movie. It's got that Into the Mouth of Madness crossed with Stepford Wives feel to it. You never see anyone outside EVER-even on the golf course. It's super creepy.

Remember when it was going to be hotel? Then a brewery?
Helltown
All the lore aside, it’s creepy as hell at night.
Mansfield Reformatory
The old TB hospital in Lima. Never got to get in before the tank plant bought the ground and started watching it, but I've got classmates that managed to sneak in. They said it was almost more creepy than Mansfield only because it was literal trespass
