Album: Haydenville Tunnel

Haydenville Tunnel is said to be haunted by workers who died during the tunnels construction. The tunnel served as a passage under a ridge to haul clay from where it was dug back to the brick plant which was the sole reason for haydenville Ohio to exist. The tunnel is often said to run under the haydensville cemetery however I dont belive the tunnel lines up properly to do so, a cave in back in the tunnel prevents complete passage thru the tunnel. While a few of our pics show some odd fogs and colors we didnt experience anything unusual while we were there.

Album: Anchorage Putnam Villa Mansion in Marietta Ohio, Nov 08 with Central Ohio Ghost Squad

Overlooking West Marietta/Harmar is the imposing ashlar sandstone Italian villa known as "The Anchorage" or "Putnam Villa". This home, built in 1859 by Douglas Putnam for his wife Eliza, comprises 22 rooms and a grand tall campanile that fronts the house. From the tower room, the largest part of Marietta and its two rivers can be viewed. John Slocomb was the architect and master builder. The walls are made of 24" thick sandstone quarried from the top of the hill behind the house. The foundation is of solid rock and all wood used in the house is locally grown oak. The Anchorage is best remembered as Edward MacTaggerts residence. Using wealth accumulated from oil wells in Oklahoma, Mr. MacTaggert restored the home and furnished it with treasures from his many worldwide travels. From the tower room, the largest part of Marietta and its two rivers can be viewed. This mansion served as the residence of many prominent Marietta citizens including Harry Knox (Knox Boatyard), Dorothy James Roberts (author), and Sophia Russell (Marietta College). The mansion is currently undergoing restoration sponsored by the Historical Society. Some of the rumoured ghosts include Eliza Putnam who had the building built as a replica of a friends house in New Jersey and finished in 1859, who died shortly of heart disease in 1862 and is said to still haunt the mansion. David Putnam, Douglas brother is also supposed to be a ghostly resident here. The House was rumoured to be a stop on the underground railroad and in its later years was used as a retirement home. This leaves the place with ample history for a potential haunting.

Album: WAVERLY HILLS May 21st 09

Waverly Hills was the largest TB hospital in the United states and before there was a cure thousands of aflicted came here and died either from the disease or from the atempts to cure it. The first building was built in 1910, the huge structure we see today was built in 1924, it was closed in 1961 once a cure had lessened the need for such a huge TB hospital and re opened the next year as Wood Haven Medical services as a geriatrics center untill 1980 the state closed it down due to patient abuses. This place was more active than anywhere else I have been so far, sounds and voices whispering in your ears, odd shadows moving on down the hallways and even hair pulling and touching investigaors where all seen and experienced while we were there.
