Jackson County Ohio Ghosts and Hauntings

Old Baptist Cemetery
Jackson, OH 45640

A woman in a long white robe has been seen walking near Salem Cemetery Road toward the town of Roads.  But it seems her clothing is not the only thing pale against a moonlit night. The face of the woman is ashen and so are her hands and bare feet. Salem Cemetery Road is a  rutted road with a thick covering of coal pebbles on top. Where it meets with Route 124, the cars driving along the path have dragged the dark-colored silt far out into the street. It would seem this dingy roadway would completely stain the hem of her pale dress. But strangely, the dress is not discolored. Evidently, the clothing donned by ghosts cannot be tainted by modern coal-covered roads.

A ghostly soldier guards the cemetery and if you knock three times on the church door, you just might hear something in return. We actually did!

Harvey Wells House
Wellston, OH 45692

The house is said to be haunted by Harvey Wells himself. People in the town have seen his shadow at the windows on the upper floor where he jumped to his death.  One account even states when the home had been turned into a nursing home, staff and workers could hear ghostly footsteps in the dead of night.
