Hemphill Road Roundhead Ohio
This property was owned by Robert Hemp and it is said that he is buried beneath the front porch. Every person that has lived in the house has reported many strange noises and figures of a man in a top hat. One family said that while they always kept the heater on eighty, one room in the basement would be freezing cold. Another family kept a Bible open in the living room to a certain verse. Allegedly, each time they left home and returned, they would find the Bible on another verse-the verse which was read at Hemp's funeral.

The Glowing Horseshoe Perry County Ohio
In the mid 1800s a young hunk named James Henry lived in the area. In love with two different women, the man could not decide which one he wanted to marry. When he fell asleep one night, instead of pulling the man and the buggy home, the horse took him to the house of one of the young ladies. James then decided to marry her. The two were happy for a long time until the woman became ill and died. James visited Otterbein Cemetery everyday to put flowers on his wife's grave. One day at the cemetery, he saw the other young woman he had been courting before marrying his first wife. The two quickly became romantically involved and soon married. He stopped going to the grave of his first wife and soon all the flowers died. One day, a passerby saw a bloody horseshoe on the woman's tombstone. He told James that it was an ill omen, but James did not listen. The next day, James's new wife found him dead in the horse stables-there was an imprint of a horseshoe in his forehead. Now when its foggy, it is said that one may hear horse's hoofs going up and down Otterbein Road.

- We have quite a few "haunted" houses in Massachusetts. I put it in quotes because I'm a huge skeptic of this stuff, but it's still interesting! Nice work, Squid Angel blessed.

- I used to live in Carter West dorm at the university of toledo. While on my campus visit the instructor had told me specifically not to live there. Her old roomates encountered mysterious situations. Their tv's would turn on and off in the middle of the night with the volume all the way up. As well as weird noises in sinks and bathrooms. Some students say the 4th floor is the worse. In my first year of college, a girl on my floor the 4th floor commited suicide.

- Spooky Lens. Perfect for Halloween and haunted house lovers. I'm superstitious and cannot enter a haunted house. Silly, I know. I still enjoy reading and learning the history of the families that lived in these haunted houses. A book is safer. :)

- I haven't had any, but have heard many stories from people that have. LOL, I am so logical in my thought process, I would probably have no clue I was being haunted and write it off to air currents, or house settling, etc. Great lens!
Happy Halloween early!
