Having grown up and still living in SW Ohio I've been to all of these locations except the Akron theater. Loved this video spotlighting my neck of the woods!

Hello neighbor!

I once felt something flick my back while at kings island and when telling my friend about it he felt like something was on his back so I swiped at his back to get whatever it was off but he instantly felt a tightness come over him. Good times

The energies in Ohio are so messed up that I was weirded out in non-haunted places! If I went to haunted places, I would have to take a lot of salt and holy water. Good job you all! Peace and roses, Deb the TN Scary Lady

I’ve been to the Akron Civic Theater for several performances, including a kids show and some silent movies. It’s a magnificent space, with Moorish architecture and a glittering night sky overhead. I didn’t encounter anything strange, but I would encourage anyone to visit. Even if the show is disappointing, you won’t lack for things to look at.

Pancake Lock, near the railroad I got my start in my career on, is said to be haunted by the keeper that spent his entire life there before he died.

[@FrightNightScares]

Thank you for tuning in @jessicaburdell7779. Can you tell us more about Pancake Lock?

[@jessicaburdell7779]

@@FrightNightScares Sure. It's called Lock 26 aka "Pancake Lock", one of the many historic places along the towpath of the Ohio & Erie Canal. Charles Carter worked as the keeper there, and even right up until its closing and his later passing from old age, it was a job that he forever loved and vowed to always keep. It's said he still wanders the very canal he worked hard to maintain within his past life, blind and elderly. His footsteps are often heard pacing along near the lock house

The Groveport Cemetery could definitely have some tales to tell....I went there a couple of days ago and filmed the older graves for my own video that'll go up tonight. It was daylight, so nothing really spooky, but many of the older stones have been so exposed to the elements that they are no longer legible. Many are broken, and some lay on the ground, and at least a couple are visibly sinking into the dirt. There is a memorial there to the unknowns who were buried under cloak of darkness soon after the town's founding in 1847, because of two cholera outbreaks. And of course, the oldest grave in the cemetery, dating back to 1809. It is shaped like a full-sized coffin. This is in Groveport OH, a few miles southeast of Columbus, if one finds themselves in the area.

Dude, the guy that climbed Eifel tower and fell, my mom went to school with him. John. And he lived across street from her. Crazy. Didn't think I would hear that! Did your homework.
