Stroll along silent corridors of an abandoned asylum and linger among graves of Civil War dead―and discover the eerie ends of Stark County's departed souls. Ghostly diners, violent crimes of passion, phantoms peering from theatre balconies, canal workers who still walk the towpaths―the haunted history of Stark County includes characters and legends as bizarre as they are terrifying.
