Spooks Hollow
Lancaster, OH
Private Property and along the hillside near Lancaster Mall.
 
The area Spook’s Hollow and the name has not changed for over a 130 years. In the early 1820s, a band of horse thieves was jumped inside an old cabin by townspeople seeking revenge. Heavily bound and tied, the leader jumped out a window during the capture and disappeared. Some say he was never able to escape his bindings and died somewhere in the woods. His ghost is said to be seen on a horse searching for the treasure he left behind.
