Ghosts and Legends of Northern Ohio

Northern Ohio is home to chilling legends, mysteries, and hauntings. Esther Hale, believed to have been executed for witchcraft, is said to haunt Columbiana County’s Bowman Cemetery. Lonesome Lock on the Ohio and Erie Canal is rumored to be as haunted as it sounds. Restless spirits are said to roam the rooms at the Wolf Creek Tavern in Norton and the Rider’s Inn of Painesville. And the ruins of Gore Orphanage are said to echo with the ghastly wails of children who died in a fire long ago.

Author William G. Krejci takes readers on a supernatural journey through the most chilling legends of northern Ohio, debunking some stories, solving long-standing mysteries, and uncovering new ones.
