Most Haunted Places In Nelsonville, Ohio To Visit

Following are the most haunted places in Nelsonville, Ohio, where the echoes of tragic deaths and forgotten souls linger in the darkness. These haunted spots have witnessed centuries of sorrow, and some say the spirits of the departed are not yet ready to rest.

Airplane Hollow

: "In the 50s or 60s a small plane with a man, his wife and child crashed in a hollow North of Nelsonville. The plane was not found for a couple of weeks. The man and his wife died on impact. The baby lived, only to starve to death. You can go some nights and park near the woods where they crashed and still hear a baby crying."


Old Mount St. Mary's Hospital

: "It was staffed for years by a group of nuns. One of them, beloved by all who met her, loved her roses; she grew the loveliest rose gardens about the hospital, and when she died in the fullness of her years, her room was filled with roses, gifts from a grieving community. To this day if you step into that administration office that used to be her quarters, you will catch a whiff of roses. The nuns used to march at night, every evening; all patient rooms had to have their doors shut before this ritual was performed. It is said that the nuns march again before a patient dies."


Zaleski State Forest

: "On a remote backpacking loop in the Zaleski State Forest, hikers have reported seeing what appears to be a swinging lantern at night along an abandoned stretch of train tracks, in an area formerly known as Moonville.  Legend has it that the lantern is carried by the ghost of a man who got hit by a train there.  The lantern has also been spotted in an adjacent train tunnel."
