LET'S START WITH MY HOUSE, I WONT SHOW IT TO YOU, BUT IT WAS THE 1800'S BLACKSMITHS HOUSE WITH HIS SHOP WHERE MY HUSBANDS GARAGE NOW STANDS.IF HE IS HERE, AND WE BELIEVE HE IS HE LOVES KIDS AND IS FRIENDLY. SOMETIMES ME AND MY DAUGHTER WILL SEE SHADOWS IN THE KITCHEN WHEN WE ARE THE ONLY ONES OR ONE IN THE HOUSE. WE HAVE AN OLD DISCONNECTED LIGHT OVER THE KITCHEN SINK, WIRES ARE CUT, SO THERE CAN BE NO ELECTRICITY AT ALL RUNNING TO IT. IT HAS OCCASSIONALLY TURNED ON, EVEN AFTER WE REMOVED THE BULB..SCARES ME SILLY.AND ON CERTAIN FRIDAYS, WE AWAKE TO A HAND OF CARDS, ALWAYS A ROYAL FLUSH, SITTING ON OUR LEFT DINING ROOM CHAIR.... HE NEVER BOTHERS US AND WE NEVER BOTHER HIM, SO WE LIVE IN HARMONY i DO BELIEVE.

( WE HAVE THE ACTUAL BLUEPRINTS AND OLD TIN PHOTOS OF THEM BUILDING OUR HISTORIC HOME )

HOUSE #1 : THE DUNN HOMESTEAD - MR. DUNN PASSED AWAY IN 2005, HE WAS A VERY GOOD MAN AND A VERY GOOD FRIEND WHO ALWAYS SPOILED MY DAUGHTER WITH CHRISTMAS, BIRTHDAY, AND JUST GIFTS, THEY WOULD ENJOY POPSICLES ON THE DECK IN THE SUMMER FACING MY HOUSE AS HE GOT OLDER AND HIS HEART STARTED TO FAIL DRASTICLY. HE HAD 4 SON'S, BUT NEVER A DAUGHTER AND WAS THE FRIENDLIEST MAN YOU COULD KNOW, HE WAS MY NEIGHBOR.WHEN HE PASSED, HIS SONS HAD GROWN AND HIS WIFE PUT THE HOUSE UP FOR SALE AFTER MOVING TO A SENIOR CITIZEN APARTMEMT.THE REALITY COMPANY STILL OWNS IT, AND HERE IS SOME INFORMATION ON WHY... MR. DUNN HAD A HEART ATTACK IN HIS RECLINER, IN THE DEN, THAT FACED THE SLIDING GLASS DOORS TO THE DECK FACING MY HOME. HE DIED PEACEFULLY. HE USED TO DO THE WILD BILL WILD WILD WEST TRAVELING SHOWS IN HIS YOUNGER YEARS. HE LOVED THIS HOME THAT HAD BEEN IN HIS FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS, AND UNFORTUNATLY, BY THIS TIME ALL OF HIS SONS HAD MARRIED AND OWNED THEIR OWN HOMES. SIX MONTHS ON THE MARKET, A COUPLE IN THEIR 20'S BOUGHT THE HOME, THEY WERE FROM CLEVELAND AND WANTED THE SERENITY OF A RURAL COMMUNITY. WITHIN A MONTH, THE FATHER, WHO HAD SHOWN NO MENTAL ILLNESS, HAD MONEY AND A GOOD 9 TO 5 JOB, 2 CHILDREN AND A BEAUTIFUL WIFE SAT DOWN IN MR.DUNN'S RECLINER, WICH HAD NOT BEEN SAT IN SINCE MR. DUNN PASSED AWAY... 20 MINUTES LATER, HE GOT A PISTOL OUT OF A GUN CABINET AND COMMITTED SUICIDE, SHOOTING HIMSELF IN THE HEAD WHILE THE WIFE AND KIDS WERE IN THE KITCHEN. THE REALATOR HAS REPAINTED AND RECARPETED, THROWN OUT THE RECLINER, BUT IN THE SPOT WHERE THE RECLINER IS, THERE IS A BLOODSTAIN THAT WILL NEVER DISAPPEAR. THIS WAS MR.DUNN'S HOMESTEAD, AND WE THINK HE INTENDS ON KEEPING IT WITH THOSE HE WAS CLOSE TO, NOT STRANGERS!

#2 IS A TOW MOTOR REPAIR SHOP, BUILT AROUND 1940. THE FATHER WHO STARTED IT DIED OF NATURAL CAUSES IN A HOSPITAL AND HIS SONS INHERITED IT. OUT OF 2 SON'S , ONLY 1 SURVIVES. JANUARY, 1ST 2000, HIS YOUNGEST SON WITH A CRACK COCAINE PROBLEM TIED A ROPE TO THE ELECTRIC DOCKING DOOR. HE WAS FOUND HUNG DEAD THE NEXT DAY, JANUARY 2ND BY HIS BROTHER. EVERY MORNING ON JANUARY 2ND, HIS BROTHER ALWAYS FINDS A BIT OF WIRE ENHANCED ROPE TIED TO THE DOOR. THIS OCCURES NO OTHER TIME AND IT HAS ADC SECURITY AND THE OLDER BROTHER IS THE ONLY ONE WITH THE CODE AND A SET OF KEYS. HE NOW WAITS TO OPEN UNTILL EVERY JANUARY 4TH. DO YOU BLAME HIM?

HOUSE #3 : I BOUGHT MY HOUSE IN 1996, UNFORTUNATLY #3'S PROPERTY IS CORNERED WITH MINE. IT HAS SAT EMPTY SINCE, EXCEPT FOR ONE RENTER, WHO TRIED EVERYTHING TO OPNEN THE BARN BUT COULDNT, THIS RENTER STAYED 1 WEEK AND LEFT WITH ONLY A SUITCASE OF CLOTHES, NO ONE KNOWS WHY, AND THE CARE TAKER / RENATL AGENT WILL NOT DISCUSS IT.

HOUSE #4 :BUILT IN THE 1930'S AS AN EFFICIENT TYPE "ROW" HOUSE WHEN THE PLASTICS FACTORY FIRST CAME TO TOWN. IT WAS BUILT FOR THE BOILER OPERATOR WHO WAS SINGLE AND WORD HAS IT HATED ANIMALS. IT IS CURRENTLY BEING RENTED, BUT SINCE 1996 IT GETS NEW RENTERS EVERY 1 TO 3 MONTHS OR LESS. IT RENTS FOR ONLY $155.00 A MONTH, ALL UTILITIES INCLUDED, SOUNDS GREAT..RIGHT? WRONG!!! IN THIS 1 BEDROOM HOME , WHEN THE OCCUPANT IS NOT THERE, THINGS MISTERIOUSLY DISSAPPEAR AND FURNITURE GETS MOVED.IN ONE INCEDENT A PAST ENTER FOUND THEIR LIVING ROOM FURNITURE STACKED TO THE CEILING, WITH THEIR ROTTWEILER DEAD ON TOP, ITS THROAT SLIT..WHO, WHY, OR WHAT IS WHAT EVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW.

HOUSE #5 - " THE PACKRATS HOUSE".. WE ARE UNSURE OF THE YEAR IT WAS BUILT. AN OLDER LADY AND HER HUSBAND LIVED THERE WITH MANY CATS AND MANY RODENTS, VERY LARGE RATS. THEY WOLD WALK GARBAGE DAY AND COLLECT EVERYTHING THEY COULD, NO ONE HAD SEEN THEM IN 2008 FOR ABOUT A MONTH.THE LOCAL SHERRIF WENT TO INVESTIGATE AND FOUND THEM BOTH DEAD, SEEMS THEIR JUNK HAD FALLEN ON THEM AND TRAPPED THEM IN THE PROCESS, THEY HAD NO PHONE OR FRIENDS, WHAT A HORRIBLE WAY TO DIE. THERE WAS NEVER ANY UPKEEP ON THIS HOME AND IT IS OWNED BY THE CITY, SET TO BE TORN DOWN VERY SOON. FOR SOME REASON i COULD NEVER GET A CLEAR PICTURE OF IT..IS IT A LARGE ORB..I WILL NEVER KNOW.

EMPTY ACRE 1 - THE ORIGINAL HOUSE BURNT IN 1984 , KILLING 6 FAMILY MEMBERS, MANY PEOPLE HAVE BOUGHT THE PROPERTY AND REBUILT, ONLY TO LEAVE THE HOUSE AND COME HOME TO FIND THEIR HOME AND BELONGINGS BURNT TO THE GROUND. I BOUGHT THIS ACRE TO OWN 4 NOW AND I WILL NEVER BUILD ON IT.EVER !

HOUSE #6 - AGAIN, CITY OWNED AND SET TO BE DEMOLISHED. IN 1959 A NEWSPAPER REPORTER CAME HOME, ATE DINNER, AND KILLED HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER AFTER THEY WENT TO SLEEP. NO MOTIVE AND NO ONE HAS OCCUPIED IT SINCE. PEOPLE HAVE TRIED, BUT EACH TIME A CREW COMES TO REMODEL, A FREAK "ACCIDENT " OCCURS AND ONE OR 2 OF THE WORKERS END UP FATALLY WOUNDED AND NEVR SURVIVE. THE LAST OWNER SOLD IT TO THE CITY FOR $2.00.

HOUSE #7 - LOOKS LIKE A NICE PLACE TO LIVE, NOTHING STRANGE HAPPENS, AT LEAST WHEN THE OWNER, MY FRIEND IS NOT AT WORK.SHE BOUGHT IT 6 YEARS AGO AT AN AUCTION, AND IT WAS IN BAD SHAPE. THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURE WAS BUILT IN 1947. UPON REMODELING, 3 SKELETAL REMAINS WERE FOUND BURRIED IN THE WALL. NO ONE KNOWS WHY OR HOW THEY GOT THERE. SHE PAID TO GIVE THESE UNKNOWN PEOPLE A PROPER BURIAL AND LIVES IN PEACE...I WOULD OF SOLD THE HOUSE IMMEDIATLUY UPON THAT DISCOVRY, IF IT WERE ME.

I WILL KEEP PICTURES AND HISTORY POSTED, IN A TOWN OF UNDER 375 PEOPLE NOW, WE HAVE AT LEAST 17 MORE SITES OF THE PARANORMAL TO COVER...

HOUSE #8.... THIS REALLY IS NOT A HOUSE HAUNTING, BUT SOMETHING OR SOMEONE ATTACHED TO A VERY GOOD FRIEND OF MINE. HERE IS THE TRUE STORY FROM HOW IT BEGAN..

AT 16 SHE WAS CURIOUS AND MADE A HOME MADE OUIJA BOARD, SHE HAD HEARD ABOUT THEM, BUT DID NOT REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY WERE..SHE USED WOOD FROM A CEMETERY ON THE EAST SIDE OF CLEVELAND, WHERE SHE LIVED AT THE TIME AND IT TOOK HER A DAY OR 2..AFTER TRYING DIFFFERENT THINGS , LOKE ALL TEENAGERS DO, SHE CONTACTED A SPIRIT OF SOMETHING THAT CLAIMED TO BE A LITTLE BOY..AFTER TALKING TO HIM EVERY NIGHT FOR A MONTH, HER LAST CONVERSATION SHE CLAIMS HE WAS VISCIOUS AND SHE ASKED HIM IF HE WOULD HURT HER, THE BOARD SAID YES AND SHE IMMEDIATLY BURNT IT AND NEVER DID ANYTHING LIKE THAT AGAIN.

LEGEND 1 OF LEROY'S BRIDGE, ( STORY FROM A PARANORMAL INVESTIGATION TEAM FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE )

MAY 14th, 1997

West Salem , Overton, Wayne County , Ohio

9:00a.m. - We arrive at the county municipal court building to speak with West Salem police Cheif , Terry Johns ( He agreed to meet us in the Municipal Court offices, located in Wooster, Ohio - approximatly a half hour drive from "Leroy's Bridge.

Here he showed us microfisch, photo slides and reports from local homeowners of events that have been happening for years in the area. There were many horrific photos of holstein cows, intacgt, but drained of their blood and small animals, such as rabbits, squirrels, cats and a few dogs with their throats slit, some with their gullets slit drained of blood and "displayed" on various shaped wooden sticks, in the shape of ancient runes, hammered into the ground. We were shown a picture and a pile of 6 reports, all police property, of an old silo ( apparently connected to a barn that had burnt down in previous years, the silo was constructed of some type of brick and was burnt and caving in on its right side, the top must of been made of wood and had deteriated years before. The door to the silo was missing and inside there had been piles of animal bones and a crude "fire pit", maybe used to cook the animls or for some sinister reason. In many of the reports we were allowed to read , neighbors saw strange lights, as in bonfire lights at night, always around 2 to 4 am and people wearing crude masks, wich were hard to see but the closest homeowner to the land saw what looked to be a homemade demons mask and another "person" wearing a rode or hoded dressing of some sort.

So we left and found overton Road and Leroy's bridge. With permission of the farmer who owned the land we set up at 9 pm with night vision cameras, EMF reading devices, and a team of people strategicly placed to see what we could see..5 members of our team left one hour into the investigation from becoming suddenly ill. We did not see any hooded or masked people, but we did find burnt animal remains and strange carvings in the tree line. All the carvings resembled RUNES.3 hours into our investigation, after we had picked up high electromagnetic readings, extremly cold spots, and "shadow" people, all of our equiptment malfunctioned. We decided to leave and return at a different time. I mentioned cold spots. That night the lowest tempeture was 66 degrees, we have a recordng of where the silo is of being 19 degrees.

The actual legend was Leroy was a man who after losing his farm, wife and children during the depression, killed all his livestock before the bank could auction the herd and then jumped from the steel framed wood bridge and drowned himself to spare the pain of his loss. Leroy still lives on his land. many local teens have gone there to party or make ut and many have seen Leroy doing his nightly chores.

The original bridge leroy jumped from was replaced by the county in 2006, Overton road is a very winding , narrow dirt road that follows Killbuck creek bottoms from Wooster to West Salem. It is a very eerie road to travel, especially at night and is seldom used, only by the locals.
