Hancock County Ohio Ghosts and Hauntings - Weidler's Pass Railroad


 

Weidler's Pass Railroad
Findlay, OH 45840

Since 1890, the ghost of Jimmy Welsh, a freight train conductor who was tossed from the train and beheaded, has been seen carrying a lantern along the tracks. The Lima Daily News even reported that trainmen in 1890 refused to make this run along the tracks because of the frequent appearance of the ghost that was so clear, they could see Mr. Welsh's features. . . minus the head, of course.
