House on B.I.S. Rd

07.23.2005 | 9:57 pm | Lancaster, Ohio, United States

In 1899, a sixteen year old maid named Gail Parish and her father came from nearby Athens County to work for the family of the mansion. Her father, a blacksmith, hired a young man named Johnny Kelly to assist him in the smithy. Gail and Johnny soon became lovers, and when her father and the owners of the mansion found out, they forbade to two ever to see each other again. Jilted, Johnny broke into Gail’s room one night and slit her throat with a shaving knife. In her blood on the stairwell he wrote “If I cannot have you, no one can.” It is said that if one uses a Ouija board to conjure the spirit of Gail, her calico dress will appear in the closet.

  4. That story sounds almost too much like the one of Louisa Fox at Egypt Valley near Barnesville.
    How long has it been since anyone lived there?

  5. this is no joke, me and a few friends got to go inside the house a few weeks ago. my dads a cop and he got us in no problem, we did do a ouija board and we gt no reply of such, but weird things happening, louisa almost fainted and we got real cold, as we headed upstairs we saw a chest of drawers, then there was a huge bang from its direction and very faint screams, like a whistling noise, this may ahve been our imagination but we all heard it, please feel free to e-mail me, breznumba7@hotmail.com
