Most Haunted Places In Mansfield, Ohio To Visit

Following are the most haunted places in Mansfield, 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.

Ceely Rose House

: "In 1896 Ceely Rose murdered her whole family with rat poison for her true love who really was not. She has been seen in the house and haunts it. From 30 west take route 603 to Malabar Farm Inn."


Lucas Cemetery

: "It is haunted by Mary Jane. Everyone calls her "Bloody Mary". She was burnt at the stake in the 1800''s because she was claimed a witch. The tree she was buried under still stands with her name carved in it. If you go there on the night she was buried then the tree will bleed. If you go back where her house once stood you will notice a sudden drop in temperature about 20 Degrees). I highly advise you not to say her name in the mirror five times if you ever visit the town of Mansfield. -"

The story is published in "Haunted Ohio". She was not burned at the stake; she lived to a ripe old age. She was a Native American medicine woman and as time went on younger generations saw her as a witch and as such she was harassed. But there are a lot of similarities between the two. She lived on land that a young farmer took care of and he looked out for her, as she was his father''s friend. She died at an old age and did put a "curse," of sorts, on the farmland and the land around. There is a marker where she is supposedly buried but she is not there. There are several hills that surround the property and she is buried on one of those, no one knows which, because she wanted to always be able to see the sun set. The farmer would always chase kids off trying to ghost hunt and even shoot at them."


Mansfield Prison

: "The warden''s wife was supposedly killed in front of his office. Reports of feeling light headed and not being alone."


Pleasant Valley Cemetery

: "Many orbs and spirit strings appeared in photographs. This is the cemetery where Ceely Rose''s parents and her brother are buried. (Rebecca, David and Walter Rose). She murdered them in 1896 by poisoning them with rat poison."


The Reformatory

: "Once an old prison, the Reformatory has been turned into a ghost hunting site and tourist attraction. Movies, such as the Shawshank Redemption have been filmed there. Anyway, during Halloween, the Reformatory is opened as a Haunted House and it is indeed haunted. Many, many ghosts still reside within its walls. Inside, at night, you can sometimes see the formations of the spirits. At anytime, day or night, if you go through certain parts of it, you can feel a definite chill. There is a lingering feeling of sadness and if you walk into some of the cells, you can definitely feel the spirits in there with you. There are some very dangerous vortexes you have to watch for in there. After all of the years of negative energy, they have built up into these vortexes that are capable of doing rather nasty things to you. You can hear the voices of the spirits in the hallways near the mess hall. Heed a psychic''s warning- if you ever go to this place, prepare yourself and DO NOT INVOKE THESE SPIRITS!!! They are very dangerous if you don''t know what you''re doing."
