Real Haunted Houses

Real Haunted House

Hemphill Road

Roundhead, Ohio

This property was owned by Robert Hemp and it is said that he is buried beneath the front porch. Every person that has lived in the house has reported many strange noises and figures of a man in a top hat. One family said that while they always kept the heater on eighty, one room in the basement would be freezing cold. Another family kept a Bible open in the living room to a certain verse. Allegedly, each time they left home and returned, they would find the Bible on another verse–the verse which was read at Hemp’s funeral.

My friend (the Kooglers) used to live in this very house, but you need to add a couple of things to your list of what went on there. First they used to store winter clothing in a closet under the stairs and when they would leave they would come back to the clothing scattered all over the floor. Also on many occasions they would be watching TV (they had one of thoes old TV’s with the turn dial) the dial on the TV would start turning but the channel never changed. Also they had many sightings of the man in the top hat.

Forgot one thing. There is also a second grave under the porch the occupant of the grave is unknown. And in the basement of the house where the graves are someone has torn out the wall to either rob the grave or something but the grave has definetly been disturbed. Which would explain the hauntings. You have my email if you want any of this confirmed write me.

Dude I used to live in Ohio and the house I lived in was haunted also. In the middle of the night you could hear foot steps going up the stair, and the ghost there they would call your name in the middle of the night. If you want to hear more email me at yogurt_the_dog@yahoo.com

Hmmm, Roundhead is in Hardin County Ohio and this place does not exist. I was a Deputy Sheriff in this county for 3 years and lived in this county most of my life. Roundhead is a blink and you’ll miss it village and there is NO hemphill road in this county all the roads are numberd in the county and if it was in the village it would be a named street but there is nu such street. Trust me it’s BS if you have any question contact me doctor_love58@yahoo.com

Hate to burst your buble there but as John said, there’s no road by that name. I lived in Hardin county for 21 years and in Roundhead for 2 of those years. The only creepy thing in that town is the cemetery and it’s far from being haunted. Save your ghost hunting for some place that stands a chance of being haunted.

I happened to live at one time, at Indian Lake, Ohio, near Roundhead. I have read the Sheriffs statement, and though I hate to disagree, I have been to the house. Though the actual name of the road may not be Hemphill Road, it does exsist. Just as Hatchet Man Road in Logan County is not the actual name of the road. Sorry but your reasoning is the BS.

Are you kidding me?! If anything is haunted in Roundhead it’s be the cross road near the cemetery where 4 teens were burned to death in their car after an accident because Roundhead didn’t have the proper rescue stuff to save them.

Roundhead is a township full of hicks that if a bird dies in their house it’s suddenly haunted! Seeing as most of them are my family who live. XD

I really do not believe this story. You’re talking about a town full of paranoid people in the first place! XD

Sorry to burt your bubble.

I stumbled across this site while googling Roundhead, Ohio – where I’ve lived for years now. As soon as I read this story, I KNEW what house it was and the road that it’s on. My cousins told me about the house that was two homes down from theirs, and how it was haunted by a man wearing a black top hat. I looked up the road’s number that they lived on, and sure enough – Twp. Rd. 180!!!

If you click on this link from epodunk.com, you’ll see that there is indeed a Hemphill Cemetary, and although the road’s name is incorrect, the house does exist, as does the legends of haunting surrounding it. I’m not sure if anyone lives there currently or not, but I know that if the ghost doesn’t scare them off, the pig farm across and down the road sure can! BLECH!

Anywho – the house does exist, but I can’t vouch for the ghost, because all I know is second hand. Pretty scary stuff, though.
