Large Brick House
This house is said to have belonged to a doctor during the antebellum period. A conductor on the Underground Railroad, the doctor helped many slaves escape to freedom. One slave, however, died on the way to Canada. It is said that this slave had wanted to earn money to go back and buy the freedom of his girlfriend-Nelly Gray. In response to the tragedy, the doctor�s son wrote the Civil War song, which became very popular in the North, “Darling Nelly Gray.” Since that time, the house has been haunted by an unknown ghost. It is so plagued by the apparition, that the deed of the house notes that it is haunted.

This story is very true. I growed up next to this house. I honestly never seen anything. But my great grandfather lived were i am and says “the house was owned by slave traders. The slaves got tired of their work and killed the owners.” he says it has ever been haunted by the owners. IF u go there like me and my dad did u here the creeks of the door and the howls of slaves saying no more!

Darling Nelly Gray was written by Westerville native and abolitionist activist Benjamin Hanby in the 1860’s.
