Historic hauntings that once made the papers...
There was a time when ink-stained scribes would head into the community to report on ghostly visitations―many of their stories have been forgotten until now. At a Lorain County farmhouse, spectral women were said to manifest in the darkness of night. A haunted mansion was replete with the unexplained in Akron’s North Hill neighborhood. Rumors of a haunting at Cleveland’s Grays Armory have long circulated. New evidence reveals the site to have been the scene of two mysterious deaths and possibly a haunted house. Does a peddler who went missing two centuries ago drag chains across the attic floor at a Portage Lakes tavern? Delve into ghost stories pulled from century-old headlines and reported anew with author and investigative historian William G. Krejci.
