A chilling collection of over 125 tales from around the Buckeye state, Haunted Ohio is the first of Chris Woodyard's collection of Ohio ghost stories.

Ghosts of all kinds flit, shriek, and move furniture throughout these terrifying pages. Visit that altered state of consciousness: Haunted Ohio.
Stories from the following Ohio counties: Ashland, Auglaize, Butler, Champaign, Clark, Clermont, Columbiana, Coshocton, Crawford, Cuyahoga, Defiance, Erie, Fairfield, Franklin, Greene, Guernsey, Hamilton, Hardin, Knox, Lawrence, Licking, Mahoning, Marion, Medina, Meigs, Miami, Montgomery, Morgan, Morrow, Muskingum, Noble, Perry, Portage, Richland, Sandusky, Summit, Tuscarawas, Vinton, Wood, Wyandot.
