Sugar Grove, Ohio Cemetery….The cemetery spoken of previously as the place where a little girl was seen is on Buckeye Rd. There’s a bridge between the little grocery store and the feed mill. You’ll travel over this bridge and turn right onto Buckeye Rd. In the 1970′s I did hear classmates who lived on that road mention seeing a glowing figure in that cemetery many times. I don’t recall the details other than that. Hope this helps. If the sign says there’s no admittance after dusk I’d respect this. Those living near this cemetery keep a close eye out for an suspicious activity so beware.

Do you have more info on the cemetery at Sugar Grove? It sounds cool. I don’t know the story. Here is the Mae Hummel Covered Bridge info:

The Blue Flame Ghost goes like this in a nutshell. A local Sugar Grove girl named Mary starts dating a guy from the other side of the tracks and they fight all the time. She falls in love with him none-the-less. One night, they get in a fight where the old Mae Hummel Covered Bridge once stood (it is gone now, but there is a regular bridge now). She stabs him and cuts his head off and walks into the woods, not realizing she is so wounded she will die. The townspeople find her the next day dead with the man’s head in her lap. They say if you stand on the bridge and call out Mary, Mary, Mary, you see a fog roll in and then a blue flame rolls through the hills.
Here is the GPS for the bridge: 39.644627,-82.529297
Go to: http://maps.google.com/ and put the GPS number in the box and it will give you directions.

Here are the directions from Lancaster:

I have been to mud house mansion nothing has happened really except for a man in a old truck with a dog and a gun comes from no where. The Stone wall cemetery I went there with a few friends back in the 90s when there was really no houses around there used to be a place to park in front of the cemetery. I saw torches coming from the woods in the back and my card would not start after what seemed to be 5 mins it finally started they say devil worshipers used to sacrifice animals there.
also there is an old cemetery off old sugar grove rd go out of town over a bridge I believe it was the first rd to the right I cant remember the name of the rd I was there just last night and my daughter and her friend at the same time said they seen a little girl running in the field (spirit girl)I think I saw a figure floating but it couldve also been an old tombstone but any way you turn your lights out and park on the side of the rd the cemetery is split in half by the rd it is pretty creepy check it out also out there somewhere is says there is a humble bridge you call annas name and a blue light comes toward you it is suppose to be her spirt not sure about it we couldnt find it but the cemetery is old and scary as all are but this one is really one to get you

From memory, I know that my uncle who used to work up there used to do the custodian work in that mansion and said he had some paranormal experiences in there when it was the boys industrial school. No one else would go in there to clean the place and since he was over 7 ft. tall and built like a tank he thought it was all talk and that nothing would scare him. They had agreed to pay him very well for this work and laughed that everyone was chicken for letting stories get to them. After the fact he had to wait for new employees who might take this job so he could be free of it. He complained to us that working in there was really really bad. He experienced screams and other sounds he could not find explanations for. He was an intelligent man who knew how to fix anything so he knew sounds associated with houses and buildings in general. He was touched in this mansion by someone who wasn’t there when he spun around quickly. As for the elaborate story about the two lovers I cannot say if that’s true or not but I can say that my uncle was very scared about working in that mansion. He was an honest, hard-working man all his life. Maybe someone could get the library to do a search for anything on that house from it’s past.

I have lived on Hamburg Rd since I was a child. Hamburg and BIS merge together onto S. Broad St. I have heard of many places in and near Lancaster to be haunted….this is not one of them. This is a fake story, based off of very similar ones throughout the country.

the haunted mansion is the property of the state of ohio and is part of the property which used to be the old boys industrial school. it is presently a mininum security prison called the southeast ohio correctional institute. The mansion looks empty now. Again, this is part of a present day prison. Act accordingly.
