Grove Cemetery - Troy,Ohio
Grove Cemetery is one of the oldest and most haunted cemeteries in Troy, Ohio. It was established in 1807 by John Knisley, a pioneer who donated the land for the burial ground. It has over 10,000 graves, some dating back to the Revolutionary War, when Troy was a frontier town. Many visitors have reported seeing apparitions, hearing voices, feeling cold spots, and experiencing other paranormal phenomena. Some of the most haunted areas of the cemetery are the Potter's Field, where unclaimed bodies were buried in mass graves without markers; the Civil War section, where soldiers who died in battle or from disease were laid to rest with simple headstones; and the Children's section, where many young lives were cut short by epidemics or accidents. Some of the most notorious spirits that haunt Grove Cemetery are the Lady in White, who wanders the grounds looking for her lost lover, who was killed in a duel; the Phantom Horseman, who rides a black horse through the cemetery at night, carrying a lantern and a sword; and the Screaming Woman, who lets out a blood-curdling scream near the entrance gate, startling anyone who passes by. Grove Cemetery is a place of history and mystery, where the dead do not rest in peace.
Maple Grove Cemetery - Vermilion,Ohio
There's an angel above a grave, that is haunted. Legend goes...mother killed her daughter, and then died a few years later, after the family had put angel by daughter's grave. It is said that angry spirit of mother resides in angel. Sometime after mother died, local livestock began to show up mysteriously slaughtered in cruel, sadistic manner. Blood was found on
hands and mouth of angel, prompting locals to suspect the mother had
possessed the angel, and was doing the vile deeds. Local officials took
matters into their own hands, clipping the wings of the angels and
cutting off the hands. After this, the angel was forced to remain
within the cemetery, flightless and without ability to kill. Soon
after, rusty streak marks developed under the angel's eyes, as though
she was crying for her sins.

little children getting there revenge on the old man. And you can
sometimes see a man and two children standing in front of the cabin he will be holding one child’s hand and with the other he will be holding his hat a crossed his heart staring at you.
Moonville Tunnel - Zaleski,Ohio
Near the Zaleski CCC Camp is an old railway tunnel named Moonville Tunnel. The tunnel is still there and many local kids swim there in the creek. In the 1800's during a thunderstorm the trestle or train bridge was washed out. With no other way to stop the train the signalman stood this side of the creek where the trestle had stood. On the opposite bank was just about 20 feet then the tunnel itself. On the other side of the tunnel was a turn in the track. It was near midnight so the story goes when the signalman was
waving the lantern to warn of danger. He knew it was of little use
because of the layout of the track and tunnel before the trestle. The
train probably didn't even see his light before crashing into the
ravine below. A lot of people died that night in the crash. People who
live down in the area swear that they've been to the tunnel on the
anniversary of the tragic disaster. They swear that you can clearly see
the signalman lamp swinging it's warning and you can see the light of
the oncoming train.
