I moved to Lake County, OH in '94 from California. Moved back to California in '97...I can't wait to visit Squires again. There is definately something about it, something special. After loosing a best friend: Jason Michael Scarcelli in '97...me & a group of friends choose Squires to drink & smoke the night away and to mourn the loss of one of the greatest dudes we ever knew. I swear that night in the west wing of the castle, as we all stood silent in front of the fire....occasionally laughing & reminiscing about our pal, I know we all felt something special. Now I am not saying the castle is haunted, I am simply implying that I felt something. Whether it was my friend looking down on us from his cloud...or something else, what a feeling. That place is special to me, what I wouldn't give to be back there in '96 drinkin' one with some of the best friends I could have ever had. Keep her clean, & someone please take more photos!
Respectfully,

Send Me Links
I saw this idea on another site and thought it might be cool to try out here:
Do you use del.icio.us to save your bookmarks? If so, add creepycleveland to your network and send links to Creepy Cleveland by using the for: feature.
Found a creepy site, picture or story online? Bookmark it in del.icio.us and add a tag for:creepycleveland and we'll all be able to enjoy it!!
On the flip side - if you add creepycleveland to your del.icio.us network you also get first dibs at new links I post.
See? We all win.

Creepy Cleveland Maps
Have you seen the new Google 'My Maps' yet? It's pretty cool. I'm using it to track the locations of many Creepy Cleveland locations. I made the Creepy Cleveland Map public in order to try to attract some fresh visitors, but I want to know what everybody else thinks too. The link is over on the right under 'Important Links'. Click on the push-pin icons to get links to stories and posts about the more popular locations. Click the map-marker icon to read a story or post about a location you may not have heard of.
If, while checking it out, you notice something wrong - let me know and I'll fix it. A lot of the locations are fairly easy to spot using Google Maps hybrid feature, but some are so out-of-the-way or vague that I may have gotten it wrong.
Whenever I have a decent picture of the location I'll include it on the map pop-up. If you've got a picture of a place (or a better pic that I've got) and want to share - send it in!
Check it out.

Earthquake near Cleveland? Or was it?
I realize that this is not a normal CreepyCleveland type of story but think it is an excellent forum to discus anything unknown or mysterious. I want to start by saying I am not trying to say that I know what’s going on, quite the contrary, I don't think we will ever know what is going on, but putting this out to see if anyone else feels that last week's "earthquake" sounds fishy. I am very inquisitive in general but not what I would consider a conspiracy quack. I live in Bedford Ohio, and on Tuesday march 13th 2007, I received a somewhat frantic call from a friend who lives in Streetsboro. "Did you feel that explosion?!" he asked, and since I was extremely tired when I got home from work and fell asleep around 6pm, I hadn't felt anything. This was about 8:15pm, he went on to tell me that around 7:15 he and his kids heard a loud explosion and a few seconds later felt a shock hit their mobile home. He said it felt as though it hit from the southeast and move through to the northwest. it rattled things off the shelves, but it only lasted for a second or two, then nothing. He ran outside and found neighbors also out trying to see what happened, they looked for a smoke plume and saw nothing. He, his wife, and kids then went out driving to try and discover what happened. he was alarmed (and intrigued) enough that they drove around until after 9:00 and the only thing they saw out of the ordinary was a truck (or trucks, I am not sure how many) that he described as big box trucks that were yellow and the only thing written on them was "Hazardous Material Containment and Disposal Unit". These trucks were very near the Ravenna Arsenal, heading toward it. for those of you who are not familiar with the Ravenna arsenal, it is a very large US Army base (over 21,000 acres in size) which has been an Ordnance plant and ammunition dump since before World War Two. There have been many rumors surrounding the arsenal, not the least of which that large amounts of chemical & biological agents, and nuclear weapons are stored there, and in less than proper conditions. [Check out] Google Maps the large gray blob you will see the upper right hand corner is the base. If you go on Google Earth and look at it you will see hundreds of dots in lined up perfectly in geometric grids, 
I am pretty sure these are what they call "magazines" or "Igloo type bunkers", which are small concrete bunkers covered in a mound of earth which are designed to store high explosives and are strategically placed in case there is an accidental ignition, that they won't cause a chain reaction and ignite other magazines. there are persisting rumors that there are miles and miles of underground facility which house much more dangerous munitions. You can zoom in and scroll around the base and you will see many area's of land which are extremely discolored, presumably from leaking hazardous waste, although that can't be confirmed. Getting back to my story, after I talked to my first friend I decided to see if another friend had heard (or felt) anything, he lives in Deerfield which is just on the other side of Ravenna. he informed me that he had been in Akron around that time and didn't hear anything, however he called me up later (about 9:30) to tell me that he heard a rumbling and ran outside to see large military transport planes (probably c-130's) coming over his house at tree top level, he said the sound was deafening. I am telling you all this purely because I felt it was odd and that it may or may not be coincidental. Since the 90's the base has been scaled back and quote-unquote used as a "Training Facility and Logistics" for the National Guard, but I have also heard that it was abandoned by the Army and there was only a skeleton crew of security officers there. I spend much time as I was growing up at west branch state park which is not far from there and it was very common to see formations of multiple hueys, chinooks, blackhawks, and even sikorsky sky cranes moving in and out of there. even as late as 2000, (the last time I was there on a regular basis) I would see multiple, as many as 8 to 10 helicopters flying in very tight formation going into the base at very low level. So I hardly think that it’s inactive. According to ohiohistorycentral.org "Much of the site is now the Ohio National Guard's Ravenna Training and Logistics Site, with the Ohio National Guard using the Ravenna Arsenal for training. Approximately 1,481 acres of the Ravenna Arsenal have been deemed environmentally contaminated and efforts to make the site safe for human use are underway at the start of the twenty-first century." and according to wikipedia "The site is now used as a training facility for National Guard and Reserve units. As of 2006, it is a Superfund site and plans to burn some of the buildings at the site were being discussed. However, an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) work group has recently recommended that the Army not burn the buildings due to the high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the paint[3]. The Army is now looking at alternatives to burning the buildings, but the buildings are also contaminated with explosives, which make traditional methods of demolition dangerous for workers." I found these pics and audio report at http://www.wksu.org/news/story/18290 There are multiple possibilities for what happened, and an earthquake is certainly one of them, however, being someone who is (at least I feel) mildly intelligent, I can't help but question and wonder what really happened. the latest news, I heard Friday (the 16th) on the local morning news that a middle school in Beloit, which is near Alliance and probably with in 10 to 15 miles of the arsenal, got shutdown and quarantined (with all the children in it), with no information being given to the parents for hours on why their children were locked in their school. The media said that over 30 kids had broken out in a seemingly unexplainable rash, and that in their best interest, the building was quarantined until they could discover the cause. The official cause given was "We don’t know, but it's probably from cleaning agent used at the school", this seems to be a very flimsy reason. If there was an accident at the arsenal, neighboring communities could be at risk, however because of the probable deplorable conditions condoned for over 60 years, it probably will never be admitted to, the civil liabilities alone would be staggering. I only present this information, so that possibly it sparks you into researching the situation (and others) yourself, because if we don't then who will. As I said at the outset, I don't know what’s going on, but it's human nature to question the world around us, and if we didn't we would never advance our cumulative knowledge, so always ask why!. My e-mail is anto [at] adelphia.net and feel free to e-mail me (or CreepyCleveland) with your ideas, opinions or any information you find about the arsenal or anything else you can't explain. Thank you
