| a small cemetery | It is in a small cemetary just north of town on creek road. In the 70's a young girl was brutally raped and murdered there in the back right side of the cemetary.

| Candelwood Park | It is said that in one of the restrooms a boy hung himself in the late '80 and haunts the area at night. There was also a brutal murder of three small kids.

Some say that a person needs to sit on the concrete behind the restrooms, draw a circle around them with chalk in order to draw the murdering spirit out. |
| Hospice of Dayton (inpatient unit) | Numerous sightings of children reported by patients. The staff refers to them as "The Kids." |
| Oakwood High School | In the city's south suburbs, has long been the sight of two hauntings.

| Patterson Homestead Historic Museum | Apparently the Patterson's are still there. Staff report rocking chairs rocking on their own, items moved about, cold spots in certain rooms, one room that is always cold (Mrs. Patterson's bedroom, and the aroma of a good home cooked meal (it isn't really there. But Mrs. Patterson liked to cook and entertain. We figure she is still cooking. |
| University of Dayton | The Theta Phi Alpha House - Is supposedly hunted by a young man. Many of the girls who have lived in the home report heavy items that are moves around and lights turning on or off on their own. Often the girls say they can feel a presence and that often when they go to bed at night it is cold and when they wake up they have less energy then they did the night before. |
| Witches Tower | It is a tower about 6 stories high, which was built on top of a burial ground in the time of the Civil War. The legend is that a woman climbed to the top of it one night and committed suicide. and actually see her standing up there, in a long black robe walking around on the top, and looking over the edge. |
| Woodland Cemetery | There is a tombstone in there that a young girl sits on. When she is sitting on her grave there is a glow to it at night. A college student spotted her while doing a report. He tried to talk to her but no response. She looks normal and clear like anybody else. She is wearing tennis shoes, a sweatshirt and jeans. |
