Haunted Ohio -The Hocking Hills Region

Rugged and bursting with hundreds of undiscovered and mysterious nooks and crannies, the Appalachian hillsides of Southeastern Ohio have long been a stop for weary souls journeying through the region. From Native Americans hunting the densely forested land to early settlers carving out a way of life in farming, the land has been inhabited for centuries.

Haunted Ohio....In fact, over a hundred and fifty years ago so many small towns cropped up around the fast-growing iron and railroad industries in the region that the area would give Columbus and Cincinnati's 21st century urban sprawl a run for its money. But the railroads left and the industry is gone. Little remains of the existence of those from Hocking Hills spirited past except a few scattered towns, dilapidated skeletons of iron furnaces, abandoned train tracks and a few rock foundations hidden in the weeds.

Or so some will say. Others tend to think differently. In fact, there are some folks who swear the Hocking Hills are covered with ghosts of the past still lurking around. Maybe they can convince you it's true. Here are some of their stories. . .
