Abandoned House
It is said that whoever lives in this house is savagely murdered by something unknown. After two people were found dead in the 1960s, the house stayed empty until the late 1980s when it was occupied by a cult. Two years later, flashing lights were seen coming from the house; police found eight decapitated bodies. It is said that if one goes to the site, there will be eight ghosts that will carry on conversations with one another. It is also said that the shadow of a body may been seen in a tree near the house.
Is this true can you send me a picture of the house and inside of the house

Is this true? Where can we find this house? If anyone knows the address, please contact me.
Comment by Kelly | 10.17.2005 | 2:10 pm
Yes, this is true. There was a ritual killing in the house, said to be Satanic, but you know how stories get warped over time. I remember hearing about the murders and nobody was ever caught. I know a lot about this because I grew up in Worthington and the house is right next to the Pontifical College on State Route 23, just north of I-270. If you’re heading north, the house is just past the college, up on a hill yet close to the road. If you are familiar with that area before it really started to grow and develop, the house is right at the head of where Lazelle Road came out on Route 23. I believe the Satanic aspect came into this because of it’s close proximity to such a holy place (the Pontifical college), yet there could be some truth to it as well. I have never been in the house. I was too scared. But, you CAN see in some of the windows and it looks like there is a lot of bloodstains on the floor. It could be paint or some kind of prank, but NOBODY will live in that house, and it has been vacant since I was a little girl. People have moved into it and then moved out less than a year later. I was 7 when the cult killing happened. I’m sure you can research it through the Columbus Dispatch archives, or even the Worthington Suburban newspaper.

Comment by nikki | 02.15.2006 | 1:12 am
Yeah the story is a little scary, but then you have the ghetto there. That’s scarier. If you can drive through most of that city at night, i don’t see why you would be scared of that place. Down town is alot worse.
Comment by cutty2284 | 03.5.2006 | 6:37 am
OMG! That would be so freakin awsome to go and stay the night. It sounds so true and so awsome. If people are allowed to go there or if not will you please send me a picture and address. I would so be up for it!!

I live by there. My church is a little further down 23, so I pass it every Sunday. It’s actually in the nice suburbs of Columbus. I almost feel like going there right now, because I want to hunt some ghosts.

Me and my roommates have been trying to research Ghost towns and hauntings and what-not, just wondering if anyone has the addy of this place, I’d like to take my camera and check it out. I live in Columbus, Not quite sure where this place is located.
E-mail me an addy please: wyrex@1stcounsel.com
Comment by Joe | 05.21.2006 | 1:37 pm
This house is on the west side of Route 23 at the intersection of 23 and Flint Road. It’s a beautiful old house and I believe folks do live there now. I live quite near there and have seen lights in the house at night and it was decorated for Christmas last year. I’d like to see inside it just because it’s a really nice old house!
Comment by scarlet | 08.3.2006 | 11:20 pm
What a crock, no mention of satanic ritual killings in local paper archives. You must remember that 75-80 % of ghosthunting is “urban legends” or just plain flat out lies. I’ve been investigating and researching hauntings for nearly 20 years, and actual ones are few and far between.
Comment by sinister | 08.16.2006 | 11:37 am

I would kind of say that i do this for a living, going to different areas and checking out all the haunted things that go on in ohio. And listening to your commment, and i have also heard something like this before, my friends told me about something like this but they were to scared to go and check it out. So if you could give me the address and a pic i would really appreciate it. Because i would like to see for myself. thank you
Comment by mercedes_gurl22 | 09.24.2006 | 1:01 pm
Whoah where is this plpace and is it a tourist attraction??? if it is i am so not going and hey i know alot about ghosts’….
Comment by cheyenne | 10.1.2006 | 6:34 pm
IF you live around the New Albany/Gahanna area, there is a house that is haunted… I know this because I went there. My friends and I went there and were just about to go in until i saw a figure, or what i thought was a figure leave the window. We started to go inside when a knock came from inside. We ran like hell and the walk back to the car was freaky because there were bones off animals and what not on the side of the raod, and it felt like someone was walking behind me the entire time. Ive never been back. This story just reminded me of it, so I thought I would share mine.
Comment by Natalie | 10.4.2006 | 7:41 pm
Can someone E-Mail me with the address and location of this house? I live in Galloway, Ohio and would LOVE to see it. Please contact me at http://www.PurpleRain52384@aol.com
Comment by Jennifer G. | 10.5.2006 | 6:16 pm
I read this, then I read all the comments. I was just wondering if this is the house that was recently in the news. A man and his mother lives there and a month or so ago some teenagers from Worthington High were messing around the house because they heard it was haunted and, I guess, he shot one of the girls. I can’t remember her name, but last I heard she was in a coma, and he is up on charges. I just wondered if this is the same house.
Comment by ckrystl | 10.7.2006 | 7:11 pm
well the only thing i can say is that unless i see it i can believe it. i think those things can be real because it happened to me once when i was 7 years old but at the same time i think it could also be a fake because this has never been seen before at least that i know. thanks for reading and letting me share my ideas.
Comment by deimys | 10.11.2006 | 3:15 pm
To be honest with you, most of theese places on here or on a lot of theese sites are bull. I’ve gone to an abandoned orphinage in Looserville (louisville) and pretty much all it is is wierd when its dark. Other than that its a pretty boring place. Go there in the dark and its a little wierd, you cant see 2 inches in front of you and there are underground tunnels as well. There were two seperate buildings and one of them burnt down. Basically its a cool place to go get trast at, if the cops dont show!
Comment by JaybonE | 10.11.2006 | 10:02 pm
The house was built in 78. I cant find if that is 1978 or 1878 but from the way the house looks, I’ll say 1878. It was bought by a reverend in 1987. It’s landuse is classified as “other residential” where as family homes are “family dwellings”. The house is along Rt. 23 (N High Street) just passed the Pontifical College on the right hand side, just north of I-270. Its up on a ledge above the street. You’d have to take college roads to get to it. PLEASE NOTE: I DO NOT CONDONE TRESPASSING ON TO PRIVATE PROPERTY. I gave the info so maybe if you were driving along the road, you would know where to view it. Also note around Christmas time, the front has some decorations on it, meaning someone is probably looking after it. To one of the previous post where the cheerleader was shot, that was south of 161 near High St.
Comment by Adam | 10.18.2006 | 2:23 pm
Theres two other haunted houses in the gahanna/pataskala area (which is right outside of columbus)
Theyre both of of Waggoner road halfway between pataskala and reynoldsberg.
Both are abandoned.
The first one is just creepy all over the inside and you can hear a lot of weird things, but in the basement theres a single spotlight that works somehow and its a big dirt room with about 10 dirt tunnels that star in the room.
The second one is even creepier because somehow all of the lights work. All of the floors are covered in old newspapers and weird pictures that look like someone was stalking anouther person. Then in the attic theres a table in the center of the room that says “mouse trap” on a peice of paper.
My friend was dumb enough to steal an old bible from the first house and tons of bad, horrible things happened. For example, I got in a 75 mph head on collision. After that he returned the bible, but weve all sworn to never, ever go back.

This is for Karen. Do you have specific directions to these two houses? I live in the area and I’m very interested in checking it out. I’m wondering if these houses are still standing due to the amount of building that has taken place on Waggner Road. You can email me at taylor051949@yahoo.com. Thanks.

Comment by Jimmy | 08.5.2007 | 10:31 pm
Why do you people keep saying that you want to go there and get pics but never deliver? That’s stupid. If you’re going to go then go. Don’t say that you will put up pics if you’re not going to that’s lying and lying is wrong. lol…

Comment by Haunted Ohio | 08.23.2007 | 1:45 pm
Jimmy My group has investigated Walhalla Rd. Extensivley. The only thing we have come across is some curious cats.. We Recently got an address for Mooney Mansion. After we contact the owners we hope we can do an investigation there. If we find anything we will post on our myspace page.
Comment by Haunted Ohio | 08.23.2007 | 1:50 pm
The address is 7755 N HIGH ST Columbus Ohio. Someone else already posted the information to look it up on the auditors site. There is a picture there.
Comment by Jenny | 08.27.2007 | 8:34 am
I’ve heard about whalhalla Rd. stories.. Are they true? My dad said friends of his went there when they were younger and got chased out of the driveway by some crazy looking caretaker (They’re guessing thats who he was)…. Does anyone have any info on that house or any other “supposably” haunt places in the columbus, Pickerington, Pataskala area? If so please email me at: kwodzisz@gocitywide.com
Also I’ve heard about the bridge down by campus where supposably some guy hung his wife there. They say the nail is still there. If you decide to check it out let me know the results!

Comment by Kimberly | 09.27.2007 | 12:57 pm
Hey All, I lived accross from this Haunted House for almost 13 Years. I have yet to hear about this haunted house story and trust me i’m a big haunted house freak and so is my family. If this is so true give me more information, to back your evidence up. give me more specific dates of the deaths and i’ll research it. Flint Road is where i lived i could look out my window and see this house i would’ve seen something supernatural. Good Luck With More Information for me y’all.
Comment by Brandy M. | 09.30.2007 | 3:29 pm
I know about Walahalla. When I was young we went there and were chased off as well. Legend has it that Mr. Mooney caught his wife cheating with the butler and was so distraught he hung him self from the bridge… that’s just one version. I went to school right across the street for 3 years and my friends and I even spent the night under the bridge… nothing happend… all legend. It is a beautiful old house though. People have always lived there.

Hey I am working on my photography final project and I was hoping to do a series of ghosts (made with people & camera techniques). I would love to be able to get into this house, but I am also not one for getting into trouble. Do you know if it is easy to get in and if people are likely to call the cops if you trespass? Please let me know, my project is due soon. java_jocelyn@hotmail.com
