Haunted Places Near Zaleski
5 reported haunted locations found near Zaleski.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Civil War Graveyard | If you are driving down Lawrence Road as you get into Moonville, you will see a path in the woods to your right that leads to a Civil War graveyard. If you walk through the graveyard at night, you can hear screams, drums playing, loud breathing, and other strange noises. |
| deserted railroad tunnel | was once a life for people living in the sparsely populated area of southeastern Ohio; legend has it that a railway worker was having an affair with the engineer's wife, he found out about it and ran the railroad worker over, decapitating him; you can see a headless figure walking where the tracks used to be, at night carrying a lantern, looking for his head (also be careful not to go out there by yourself, the locals do not want you around and may be aggressive in protecting their area) |
| Moonville Tunnel | Near the Zaleski CCC Camp is an old railway tunnel named Moonville Tunnel. The tunnel is still there and many local kids swim there in the creek. In the 1800's during a thunderstorm the trestle or train bridge was washed out. With no other way to stop the train the signalman stood this side of the creek where the trestle had stood. On the opposite bank was just about 20 feet then the tunnel itself. On the other side of the tunnel was a turn in the track. It was near midnight so the story goes... |
| Schrader Road Tunnel | It is said that if you drive through the tunnel with your windows down you can hear the cries of a baby that was killed there. The story says a mother and her daughter died there years ago. The fashion in which they were killed varies on who you ask. There was also a woman that hung herself (or was murdered, then hung) from the north end of the tunnel. |
| Zaleski State Forest | On a remote backpacking loop in the Zaleski State Forest, hikers have reported seeing what appears to be a swinging lantern at night along an abandoned stretch of train tracks, in an area formerly known as Moonville. Legend has it that the lantern is carried by the ghost of a man who got hit by a train there. The lantern has also been spotted in an adjacent train tunnel. |
