There are some other very interesting sites in Ohio. In Independence, out side of Cleveland, A friend’s Great Grandmother owned a farm on the North East corner of Valley View and Rockside roads, This farm pre-dated the Firelands era, There was an ancient family cemetery right up close to Rockside. The farm was in the Cuyahoga River Valley. On a tall hill on the South East side were the remains of what was rumored to be a fort, and that quite a battle had taken place there, with Indians. When we explored there as kids, all that was left were large sandstone blocks.
The area is now all office and light industrial. I went into the office building that was built over the family graveyard, and asked them if they ever had strange things happening. I told them that i had witnessed the construction of their building, and that I had watched the old family graveyard just plowed under. Some of the people I talked to were quite disturbed by that news.
There are more reported “ghost story’s” in Ohio than any other state.
