If you’re here because of my haunted Ohio posts — welcome. I document real places you can actually visit: forgotten cemeteries, backroads with stories attached, towns that never quite let go of their ghosts. I’m building a Haunted Ohio Travel Guide one location at a time, and every story I share comes from real history, local lore, and boots-on-the-ground research. If you like the kind of places where the past still watches the road… you’re in the right spot.

THE CHILDREN WHO NEVER LEFT SCHICK ROAD Defiance County, Ohio — documented history, documented cemetery North of Defiance, just outside Brunersburg, there’s a quiet stretch of Schick Road (County Road 67) where the woods press close to the gravel and the Tiffin River bends through the fields. Most people drive past without realizing they’re passing one of the county’s most overlooked historical sites. Hidden on the west side of the road — marked only by a few scattered stones and depressions in the earth — is the Defiance County Children’s Home Cemetery. This isn’t folklore. This isn’t a rumor. This cemetery is documented in: • Defiance County burial records • Tiffin Township historical inventories • The Ohio Gravestone Project • Genealogical Society surveys • Multiple orphan‑home cemetery registries The coordinates listed in public records are: 41.34615, -84.42109 From 1884 to 1914, this land was tied to the Defiance County Children’s Home — a county institution for orphans, abandoned children, and those whose families couldn’t care for them. The home itself was demolished long ago. No building remains. No foundation. No sign. But the cemetery stayed. A handful of stones still stand, though many are broken or half‑buried. Some graves are marked only by sunken patches of ground. The site was never formally maintained after the home closed, and time has done what time always does. And yet… the stories have never stopped. Visitors — locals, genealogists, and paranormal investigators — have reported the same experiences for decades. These accounts show up in cemetery documentation forums, investigator logs, and firsthand posts from people who’ve walked the grounds. People describe soft children’s voices drifting through the trees. Some say it sounds like whispering. Others say it’s giggling — quick, light, and close. One man visiting to photograph the stones said he heard footsteps behind him, the fast patter of a child running across a wooden floor. When he turned, the woods were still. A woman researching family history reported hearing a young girl humming a tune she didn’t recognize. She was alone at the time. Investigators describe the atmosphere as “heavy but not hostile.” Not angry. Not violent. Just… lingering. Like the children who lived hard lives in that home, they never fully left the only place they knew. The building is gone. The records are real. The cemetery remains. And the stories — consistent, documented, and repeated — continue. Has anyone here ever been out to the cemetery on Schick Road, or heard any stories about it? — Mark H Roe This is an AI‑generated image used only for atmosphere, since no documented photos of the cemetery exist online

📍The Spitzer House Haunting, 504 W Liberty St, Medina, Ohio — Some houses feel lived in. This one feels watched. The Spitzer House on West Liberty Street is a Victorian home from the 1890s, and guests have reported strange activity there for decades. People describe hearing piano music drifting from the parlor late at night, even when the instrument is closed and no one is near it. The melody is slow and uneven, as if someone is practicing a song they once knew. Visitors staying in the upstairs rooms often mention waking to see a stern man standing at the foot of the bed. He never speaks. He simply observes, then vanishes. Many believe he may be tied to the home’s original owner. Another presence is said to linger in what is now called Anna’s Room — the spirit of a young servant girl. Guests feel the mattress shift beside them, hear light footsteps crossing the floor, and notice the faint rustle of skirts moving past the doorway. Some have seen a slim figure in old‑fashioned clothing at the top of the stairs before she disappears. There are also reports of a woman seen outside the house, appearing briefly near the roadside before fading into the dark. Whether these spirits are connected or separate, the stories remain consistent: 504 W Liberty St is one of Medina’s quietly active haunted locations, a place where the past still moves through the halls. Has anyone been there or experienced anything? I’d love to hear about it Image courtesy of Medina County District Library – Local History Collection

Not every haunting is tied to an old mansion—sometimes it’s the quiet places we pass every day that hold the heaviest echoes. I’ve been thinking about those overlooked spots lately. Do you have a place like that you avoid after dark? – Mark H Roe

While most politicians are busy kissing babies, some mayors are more interested in chasing tennis balls or finding the nearest patch of clover. In several small towns across the US, the local leader is not a human. Instead, it is a four-legged local legend. The Record Holder: Mayor Duke of Cormorant🏆 If we are talking about the longest serving non-human mayor, the title arguably belongs to Duke, a Great Pyrenees who served as the mayor of Cormorant Village, Minnesota. Duke was not just a mascot. He was an institution. He was first elected in 2014 and managed to win four consecutive one-year terms before retiring in 2018. His platform was simple: keeping the peace and accepting treats. He held the office until his passing in 2019, leaving behind a legacy that most human politicians would envy. #Weird #History

The Skunk Ape of the Florida Everglades is the southern cousin of Bigfoot, but far more aggressive. It is named for the overwhelming stench of rotten eggs and swamp gas that precedes its arrival. Witnesses describe a rusted-orange creature that hides in the sawgrass, watching hunters with glowing, unblinking eyes. Since this Skunk Ape is famous for its odor, do you think the smell is just a side effect of living in a sulfur-rich swamp, or could it be a deliberate evolutionary trait used to ward off predators like alligators? #Florida #Cryptids
