Ghost Towns

Posted by Miss Cellania in Travel & Places on September 22, 2008 at 9:18 am


If you want to visit a ghost town for Halloween, make your plans now! Cult Case has an overview of seven of them, including Helltown, Ohio.

Also known as Boston, Ohio, many ghostly encounters have been reported in the cemetery and other sites located within the boundaries of the township. Satanists would sacrifice animals in an old Presbyterian Church off of Boston Mills Road, just to make it that much creepier. One of the many rumors that have been tossed around report a chemical spill, which lead to a huge python wandering around the woods of the area.

    I like that this was the one you featured. "Helltown" is 20 minutes from my house. :)

    Nice to see Dudleytown made the list - I've been there twice - once when the Appalachian went near it - and another time in college when a bunch of us decided to go looking for satan... we didn't find him up there, but when we got back to Danbury he was outside the Brass Jail (a bar) on main street...

    anyhow... Dudleytown... a very Creeeeeeeepy place.

    Thanks Luci! Helltown is sadly dull.

    Very cool. Another great ghost town in Moonville, Ohio located in Lake Hope State Park. I have a post on my blog.

    so i'm pretty familiar with "helltown"... my family was one of the founding families in the Boston Township. apparently Stanford Road, where my grandma lived in and dad grew up, is one of the most haunted roads as well! my family is all buried in that cemetery and i probably will be too **shudder**

    at least i didn't find out about any of it it until i was grown up because i'm sure it would have scared me to bits on all those visits i took when i was little!

    never saw anything paranormal or any pythons myself though, so that's a plus....

    Oh, my grandparents used to live just up the road from Boston Mills. I never heard of anything unusual, save for the occasional kamikaze deer.

    I'm standing right behind you. Don't you feel my breath on the back of your neck?

    I'm going to be in Ohio in a few weeks, and my mother lives like 10 minutes from Helltown. I'm definitely going to be checking it out.
