Hi!
I cannot seem to get this question answered by anyone. My Step sister told me a story about a armory around Geneva Ohio, she said that is where they made bombs for WW2. It is now abandoned but rumor has it, it is still contaminated. Do you have any information. I cannot find anything online probably because it is Top Secret.
Thanks

Witches Ball
I have been coming to the ball ever since I was in high school in Brunswick in 1986, but now that I have kids they wanted to see the ball and what happened after 23 years was very scary,and very real. The kids wanted to sit on the ball and while taking the picture a witch face appeared on the ball, clear as day... I can only get the picture to show the image when I zoom in on my camera phone, and it wont copy other wise I would post it on a website. It is very real and the story behind this is to. Everyone jokes around about it, but take it seriously,and another thing don't go at night unless you would like to be charged with criminal trespassing and be arrested and your vehicle impounded. Go during the day and take pictures of all angles, then download them and zoom in and you will see people standing around the cemetery watching you, and don't try to deface the ball, It is a landmark to all, and shame on you if you do! We did study up on the facts and she did kill her entire family, and dump them in the well. It is in the county records, and the well still does exist not far from there. If you would like to e-mail me I can tell you more, and there is more that people don't know... fourwinns@rocketmail.com.

Questions / Comments on Franklin Castle
Hi, nice site.. I was wondering if you know of a story of someone who waits for a streetcar in Cleveland..a ghost, somewhere on the east side...and that is all I remember of hearing of the story I read 20 years ago. Does that remotely ring a bell?
Also, I wonder why Franklin Castle, besides the politics, has not been aggressively pursued by ghost enthusiasts from all over, who may want to donate for restoration. It happened with The Christmas Story House..Superman House.. Weill, what about preserving and restoring one of the said to be most haunted houses in Ohio? Perhaps such a place would be a good museum for the neighborhood and B&B, attracting those who like this sort of thing...and something that can be a feature on A&E, or something like that.
I live in Ohio City...walk past the castle a lot... The property is maintained well in the front and side where St. Herman's is..But it is too bad the castle itself just sits there risking decay. I am surprised with how popular the ghost interest is---that no one has prompted an idea. The private social club thing is not, in my opinion, a good idea...and was a facade.
Your knowledge is appreciated!
Regards,
Robert

House on Hampshire Road (Cleveland Heights)
Greetings,
A good friend of mine used to live in Cleveland for a while. I visited him a few times and we would walk around in various neighborhoods. There was this house on Hampshire Road in Cleveland Heights that was supposed to be haunted. We walked by it a few times. It was a large, foreboding structure that was fairly well kept even though the story had it that nobody ever saw anyone go near it. We always walked by at night and there was never a sign of life except for a malevolent orange light, akin to that projected by a candle, suspended in the middle of one room on the top floor. Every time it was the same. My friend said that none of the utility meters were running, no one was ever there, etc.
This was in 2002-03. I haven't been there since. We were usually pretty pissed in one way or another, so I don't remember much in the way of details. I've been thinking of taking a trip up there. I was wondering if you knew anything about this place? I know roughly where to go and all that. I was looking for more in the way of legend. I've scoured a bunch of sites and I can't find anything.
Thanks,
Joshua

Alger Cemetery, Westpark Ohio
I really enjoyed reading your blog but I'm surprised there was no mention of the creepiest cemetery that I have ever been to: Alger Cemetery located in the "West Park" area of Cleveland. For years I never knew the name of the place because my friends and I would enter from an old entrance not clearly accessible. Alger is technically located at 16710 Bradgate Street, Cleveland Ohio but it was commonly known to us as "the cemetery near Common Grounds." Here is a link to a site about the cemetery history. The back entrance is located behind a KFC parking lot off of Lorain Road, across the street from Common Grounds coffee shop. Anyone that used to spend time in Common Grounds about a decade ago knows it was a common haunt for teens, weirdos, magicians, rockers and artists, which is how I learned these legends about the cemetery:
One of the more noticeable features of the cemetery is the single crypt in roughly the center of the large cemetery. It's the only tall feature other than trees as it is the only raised structure, fairly easy to see during the day or evening. The only markings I'd ever seen on the crypt is the name PAULICK (I read somewhere it belongs to a Catherine Paulick, died 1951). The crypt isn't very well maintained, and had a 2-3 foot angel statue nearby. Legend has it that come time ago (unspecific) a gang of kids or "Satanic cult" broke into the crypt on Halloween, and burned the artifacts and human remains contained within. Either from angering the ghosts or from opening up a demonic portal (depending on the version), the cemetery is now heavily haunted with noises, shadow people and the like. Also, the angel statue is said to move, change position, and do other supernatural things.
I personally never had a frightening experience there, except for suspicious sounds like footsteps and branches cracking. I DID note the angel statue's head broken during one visit, only to see her intact and in a different location during a future visit, though that could easily be the work of maintenance crews. Still, I never felt comfortable there and I get the chills just thinking about Alger. I wonder if anyone else remembers hearing about this story or had a supernatural experience there, or can corroborate the crimes that supposedly took place there.
It's a lot more frightening than Old Chestnut Grove or "Witch's Hill" in nearby Olmsted Falls.

I saw a UFO by Helltown tonight. I'm not joking.
This is gonna sound unbelievable and insane. I thought I wasn't doing anything for Halloween, but my friends invited me to go with them to a place we wanted to check out for a long time and I couldn't pass that shit up.
Me and my friends Corey and Chuck decided to go to Helltown for halloween. For those of you who don't know about Helltown:

We found it and got there, but drove through because we saw a county sheriff chilling at a corner on the road. We decided to drive back down the road, but turned because the roads out there were really narrow and windy and it was pretty fun to drive on. So we headed back towards Cleveland taking a new way, but we got in an argument about how long it was going to take to get back, and ultimately decided to go back to Helltown. We turned around here, at Snowville and Riverview Roads in Brecksville, Ohio.
Boston Heights, OH Map
We looked behind us North to see if there were any cars coming, and there it was in the sky, one of those black triangles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_triangle_(UFO)). Just hovering there. No sound (we turned off the radio and put the windows down). Me and my friend attempted to take pictures and a video, but our phones are low res and crappy and all we got was black with me and my friend saying "holy shit" and "look at that" a lot.
After the initial shock, my friend decided it was best to take off. Call us pussies, I don't care. We went back down to Helltown, and seen as how we were excited from the UFO sighting, decided to try and explore a "haunted" cemetary there and got busted by cops before we even got off the road. We left.
Crazy fucking night.
