1. Civic Theatre(Akron,Ohio)
Originally, the Civic Theatre was designed by Viennese architect John Eberson in grand “Atmospheric” style. The ceiling was designed to look like the night sky, and it is one of the few that can rotate. The Civic is believed to be haunted by three ghosts. A girl who allegedly committed suicide by jumping into the canal behind the theater has been encountered walking along the edge of the canal, weeping uncontrollably. The ghost of a longtime employee of the theater, a janitor named Fred, has been seen all over the building. He is believed to attack anyone who makes a mess in the bathrooms. Finally, the anonymous ghost of a man has been seen sitting in the balcony. What distinguishes him from “Fred” is that he is always described as being very well-dressed.

2. Woodlawn Cemetery(Dayton,Ohio)
Woodlawn Cemetery in Dayton, Ohio is nothing if not picturesque. The cemetery doubles as an arboretum—its beautiful variety of trees shades its meandering paths and surrounds the peaceful waters of Goose Lake. Over the years, however, visitors say something mysterious lurks under the shade of those trees. The forlorn figure of a lone woman has been seen several times, always dressed the same. Unlike most “women in white” who haunt cemeteries, this ghost is said to be wearing a red shirt, jeans, and sneakers, with a blue sweater tied around her waist. Another oft-reported ghost is that of a young boy and his dog. The boy drowned in a canal and his dog perished trying to rescue him. Today, hundreds of visitors leave trinkets at their memorial. Mournful sobs have also been known to follow people around the cemetery.

3.Majestic Theatre(Chillicothe,Ohio)
the Majestic Theatre has earned its reputation as one of the most haunted theaters in Ohio. During the influenza epidemic of 1918, the overflow of dead bodies was stored in the theater, and their blood and vital fluids were pumped into the alley behind the theater. Since then, it has been called “Blood Alley.” Strange, ethereal singing has been heard on both audio equipment and recordings. In 2001, students from the University of Akron recorded a girl’s voice asking, “How do I get out of here?” This ghost has been seen and heard so frequently that she has been named “Elizabeth.” Strange clouds and figures have also been seen in the theater. The Knights’ Room on the second floor is a popular spot for photographing supposed “ghost orbs.”

4.Mudhouse Mansion(Lancaster,Ohio)
Known locally as the Hartman Place, this abandoned brick, Second Empire-style house was built sometime in the mid-19th Century and stands sentinel-like in a field of windswept grass. It is currently owned by Jeannie Mast, who zealously guards her property and presses charges against anyone who tries to trespass. This has only poured fuel on the fire for people who believe the house holds sinister secrets. According to legend, the original owner treated his servants cruelly and locked them in the basement. One night, the servants escaped and murdered their master and his family. In another tale, the owner caught his wife having an affair and killed her before committing suicide. The property is patrolled by both sheriff’s deputies and private security guards, so visitors are strongly discouraged.

5.Ridges Asylum(Athens,Ohio)
Opened in 1874, this four story, red-brick building was originally known as the Athens Asylum for the Insane. There were two wings, one for male patients and one for female. The most violent patients were housed near the outer tips of the wings. By the early 1900s, Ridges Asylum was alarmingly overcrowded. Rumors of inhumane treatments at the hands of overworked staff were common. By 1981, however, the hospital had fallen out of use. It closed in 1993. Although parts of the building are in use today, much of it remains abandoned. One macabre curiosity is the outline of the body of Margaret Schilling in a room on the top floor. She became lost in an unused area of the hospital in the winter of 1978/79 and was not found for over a month. When her lifeless body was removed, it had left a stain on the floor that could not be washed away. Her ghost has also been seen wandering that room at night. Other people claim the asylum’s cemetery, which holds around 2,000 bodies, is haunted.
