Canton is home to one of the most notorious haunted places in the state: Hell Church. Hell Church is a small white church that dates back to the 1800s, but it gained its sinister reputation in the 1980s, when a boy was found mutilated in the nearby cemetery. Some say it was a cult killing, others say it was a satanic ritual. Whatever the case, the church was closed down and the newspaper clipping of the horrific event still exists.
But that's not the only reason why Hell Church is haunted. Many people have reported hearing faint piano music coming from inside the church late at night, even though the church is abandoned and locked. Some have also seen orbs, shadows, and apparitions in and around the church. The cemetery across the road is also said to be haunted by restless spirits, some of whom date back to the 18th century. There have been accounts of graves being freshly dug, as if someone or something was trying to get out.
Hell Church is not a place for the faint of heart. It is a place where evil lurks and where history has left its bloody mark. If you dare to visit this haunted location, be prepared for what you might encounter. You might hear Elleck's song, a slave who was hanged in Lawrenceville jail after killing his master who tried to rape his wife. He sang "Betsy, will you meet me?" until his last breath, and legend has it that if you sing his song, he will whisper back to you.
