Join us on a chilling journey through the heartland of Ohio as we uncover dark histories and ghostly secrets that lurk within some of the state's most notorious haunted places! From an abandoned tunnel where the spirits of those killed within still linger, to prominent government buildings where the ghosts of former politicians wander after dark, each location on this carefully and creepily selected list offers a glimpse in to the Buckeye State's most terrifying paranormal activity. Dare to check in at a historic inn whose bounds host the phantoms of guests who never really checked out, and get ready to brave the old hill folklore surrounding a deserted prison where the souls of countless inmates are still serving time from beyond the grave. Are you sure you're ready to confront all of the horrors Ohio has to offer?
