Mooney’s Mansion
During the 1950s, a couple lived in this mansion until the husband axed his wife to death and buried her in the woods surrounding the house. The statue of the woman that the husband had erected as a wedding gift when the two first married now appears to bleed–due to the ax wounds. The husband’s ghost is said to inhabit the upstairs bedroom in which the murder took place.
This is the real deal. It is located on Walahala Dr. off of Indianola Ave. I have been down in that area several times and was first taken there by my grandmother and you know grandmas don’t lie. scared the **** out of me.

There is a Walahala Dr. right off of Indianola and serves as a one way through street to High Street. It’s basically a curvy ravine with a small neigborhood. I dont know the exact location of the mansion, but I’ve known it to be called “Moody Mansion”.

Yeah, walahala is true…but i also heard a story of a witch there. She was shuned by everyone and when the police got her for witch craft they hung her from the bridge:o

That sounds scary, but really interesting! What are the directions to the place, I’d love to see it!
Comment by Ubenhaugen | 02.15.2006 | 9:09 pm
I dont even know if it real or not.I know a lot of my friends believe in this story.Well i just have to see it myself.
Comment by Kajal | 04.1.2006 | 12:37 am
It is not real!!!!Ive been there and notning was there!Children dont believe this.
Comment by Susie | 04.1.2006 | 12:41 am
Ok lets settle this. I grew off Weber rd. Not 2 blocks from walahala. And These stories are true however, I personally have never seen anything out of the ordinary the story is far to true. I remember being with a bunch of friends riding our bikes down the walahala whinding and steep curved rd. Only to stop and look up to see this huge white mansion on a hill. Knowing the story before you visit, may help you see or even here things. But the story of tragidy and lost love is enough to fill your heads. But the story is true. Maybe now that i am older i will try it again but at night this time. And i will file my claims with you another day.

I heard of it when i was in High Schoolback in the late 70’s. I heard that that the husband killed his wife and kids in there sleep.then he place the bodies under the front pouch. Then he went to the woods and tossed a rope over a tree limb and hung his self. I heard that you could see see his body swing over the road. and that he looks over his land and would kill anyone that comes into the house. I am thinking of going back to look at it again.

I know what house your talking about. The one by the bridge RIGHT? See when I was in high school I was told a man Hung his wife and kids from the bridge, on halloween night!!! I was also told he still lives there and every halloween night he hangs a kitten or
puppy from the bridge…. After highschool my frinds and I would drive up that street smoke a joint… It’s kind of cool for younger kids.

Comment by amanda | 10.2.2006 | 2:06 pm
Okay I’ve been down there numerous times. Everytime I meet a new group of friends I take them there and scare the **** out of them! I will admit that I can hardly take people there without shaking. Yea i’ve heard the stories about the guy killing his family. It is very creepy at night. I dont know if the stories are true but I do know that we saw a strange man walking by the bridge. I do believe that there is something in the woods. We have heard too many strange noises but I did not stay to investigate it.

Comment by Jennifer G. | 10.5.2006 | 6:32 pm
hello ummmmmmmm can you go inside this house
Comment by lauren | 10.13.2006 | 8:58 pm
No you can not go into the house, people live there now. I have been there several times, with different people. Here are a few stories of what i have heard and some experiences of mine. One thing I read on the internet was when you go down the road go up to 25 mph and take your foot off the gas. You will start to slowly speed up, even as you go up hills and then as you approach the end of the road it stops speeding up. I tried this and it went up to 40 mph which is strange because of it going faster while on hills.
Another story is me and two other friends went to the house. We stood behind the house for a few mintues then all of the sudden just had a bad feeling and decided to leave. We went back to my friends house and all of the sudden a mickey mouse toy started growling in a deep voice, “go back to the house” it kept repeating this, it wasnt even on either. By this point i have been to the house several times. I I dont go there too often anymore. After that night with what the toy was saying I started getting flashes of him killing his family, you might think its crazy but its true, anytime i go there now i feel threatend for being there.
Comment by jennifer | 10.16.2006 | 7:04 pm
Well I just recently went down to Walhalla, been wanting to since I was 12 or so, and me and my friends were on campus one night so we finally decided to try and find it. We had a little bit of difficulty, that road is so weird the way its laid out, we asked a couple people that lived on the next street over and even THEY didn’t know much about it. It’s a creepy little street, really narrow, really dark, with nothing but these eerie orange street lights giving off a little glow. We went down the street once, nothing happened, literally nothing, we couldn’t find the house, pretty much everything past the street lights was impossible to see. We decided to go down a second time, this time, we saw a man walking with a pair of weird scissors, and up the road just a little bit right near the bridge was a man and a woman, and they just stopped and turned and gave us the most bone chilling cold look ever, they were so pale, it really did make me start shaking. I wouldn’t have thought it was as weird if I could have figured out how they got there and why they would be walking down that creepy little street at midnight or 1 o clock. The nearest side road wasn’t for a block or two up the road, and we would have seen them on our first trip. THEN we went back a third time, they were completely gone, in a matter of what, 2 minutes? The only thing I saw that time around was a creepy all white cat with its eyes glowing sitting in the little creek bed, I’ve seen it during the trips we’ve taken up there since, and its always in the same exact place, right next to the bridge. I think I have found Mooney’s Mansion, you really have to go during the day to be able to see it. Its a really pretty house, nothing out of the ordinary about it, and I didn’t feel like getting the cops called on me so I didn’t want to trespass and go exploring. But I do think that area in general has a lot of history and a lot of paranormal activity.
Comment by Sarah | 10.24.2006 | 7:31 pm
Ive been down to walahalla several times. Everytime at night. Ive heard many stories about this place but the main one that sticks out is About the man who killed his wife and children and hung himself over the bridge at the base of his house over walahalla. Ive also heard that the light in the attic can be seen at night. Im usally a skeptic about these things but an incident one night made me reconsider…. Me and 5 other friends started walking down walahalla from indianola. My friend heather is a stickler for ghost so she brought her video camera to document our walk. We walked all the way down to mooneys mansion only to find the attic light was indeed on but this could have been done by the residents there now just to scare the kids away so no big deal right? after we passed the house we came up to the bridge. nothing really exciting there but we did find clothes and other items under the bridge that may have been a homeless persons’. After we were done we left laughing, thinking it was fun but we didnt encounter anything that the legend depicted. This is were things get really weird…. We went back to one of my friends house to watch what we recorded to see if we could see anything. And we did. during my friends filming she was just looking around at the other houses and as we watched we saw some kind of figure that appeard to be swinging (as if it were hanging) from the back porch of another house by the bridge. (not mooneys mansion) this scared the hell out of us and gave us all chills. we watched this part over and over again. everytime seeing the same thing but my friend never saw this at the time she was recording. I still dont know what this was or if it was a trick of the light but the image is spooky none the less. My friend still has the tape from that night and we haven’t been back since that night…..

That place is real.Me and my dad go riding on our bikes and we look for the Moonry’s Manison.It is white and it has a statue of mary seems to look like it’s bleeding from the eye’s.Me and my dad stop and look for that house.So if you want to go see it do it when its daylight because there are people living thereand they said that they would call the cops.

Comment by Romera | 12.21.2006 | 5:40 am
I’ve seen this place tons of times before, I live in Clintonville, but I’ve never actually payed much attention to it until I recently found out it was “haunted”.
this friday, i’m going there with about 5 other people and we’re bringing a video camera to watch it when we get home. I’m not sure what time were going, but im exciteddd.
I’m gonna come to this site again and tell you all what happens.
Comment by gretel | 01.8.2007 | 2:02 pm
I have always heard stories of mooneys mansion whether it is true or not it is always fun to take friends and my children driving down Walhalla Dr.One thing I have heard and found to be true is that if you put your car in neutral when you pull on to Walhalla from Indianola it will coast all the way to high street slowing down in front of the house and under the bridge only to speed up again and stop at High St.
Comment by angie | 02.4.2007 | 5:44 pm
Ive been to walhalla several times and I have even touched the statue on the porch…I never saw anything out of the ordinary but I will tell you that i was so scared that when I turned around to run back down the hill to our car I felt a ridiculous cumpulsion to run REALLY fast and instead of running down the hill I tripped and rolled down the hill and when I got back to my friends car we couldnt get it to start! So aside from being embarrassed…it really will scare the **** out of you..haunted…or not…
Comment by Lisha | 02.16.2007 | 12:11 am
I love to read stuff like this on the Mooney`s Mansion. But the werd thing about that is that i live 10 minites away from the Mansion. And one night me and my friends are going to go up the house and look at it!
Comment by Brittany | 04.3.2007 | 12:18 pm
Walhalla Road exists. I travel it often, and show it to people who have never seen it as a curiosity only.
It’s a strange road, seemingly out of place in the middle of the capital city. The road itself is not long, and looks like it belongs out in the countryside. But it is NOT haunted. Creepy, yes, but NOT haunted.
Bored frat boys and thrill seeking teenagers have made a strange looking road into a “haunting,” causing nothing but irritation for homeowners on the road. I’m all for investigating LEGIT hauntings, but do your freaking homework before you go traipsing all over someone’s private property in the middle of the night, disturbing the residents. Remember when the cheerleader was shot? There are sometimes crazy people living in the houses you’re investigating, why make yourself a target?
Comment by Amber | 06.11.2007 | 6:27 am
you guys are all stupid, you got the story all wrong
well it started off as the husband went to the room and saw his wife with an other guy. that when he went berserk with the axe kill the wife and then he hung his kid at the bridge near their house. they day that the daughter who was hang was holding a teddy and when she was hanged her teddy bear fell. that how the the people find them hanged. there were also story about 2 gargoyle or something at the entrance of the house that whisper blood if you listem to it. i don’t actually know, but this is kinda a stupid…

I first heard of Walhalla when i was a freshman in 2001. My friend’s mom took us down there, I was so scared I was shaking. I didn’t go back again until this winter. We go there pretty often now, and we have walked it a few times. Well from high street to the Mansion. Nothing has ever really happened, besides last time we heard some weird noises. There was also a time we were out there really late at night and we walked up the hill a bit towards the house and all of us but my friend Ruben were too scared to keep going, he went over to the left of the house in the little clearning where i think there is a swing or something and he said he saw something that looked like there could have been a statue there at some point. It was so creepy. We place on walking the entire road at some point this summer. I love going down there. Anyone that wants to come, contact me, claysgirl05@yahoo.com. we would love to have more people!

Beware that we regularly call the police on trespassers in our ravine. You’re welcome to walk or drive through, but please keep your cars and selves on the road–everything else is private property.
Comment by Walhalla Resident | 07.10.2007 | 12:31 am
Attention thrill seekers: My family and I have lived in this wonderful house since 1973. It is not haunted and there is virtually no truth in the stories told about the previous residents. We have suffered much distraction, serious property damage, and one life-threatening gunshot wound from curious youth. Civilized visitors are welcome during the day–please respect our privacy and property after dark.
Comment by Conaway | 07.15.2007 | 10:10 pm
If it is the white house by the bridge .. its all boarded up now and I have been down there 1 million times and have seen nothing yet but am hoping to =]
If that is not the house then someone tell me which one it is AND that house is no mansion, its just a damn house
Comment by ashley | 08.24.2007 | 12:43 pm
Ok so the real deal, I have lived near the Ohio State University Main campus for a very long time. From start to finish the story goes like this:
Back on the street of Walahala, you will find a peaceful neighborhood. When you pull onto Walahala you first notice that it is a one way street. There is no backing out once you turn onto it. While driving (or walking if your brave enough) you come to a fork in the road. Turn left and continue onward. When you are passing through make sure you look up to the sky to look for a bridge. It is aledges that the phyco murderer hung his family from that bridge. As you continue on, you will find the house to your left. These days the house is occupied, so please respect their privacy, but its said that if you sit there long enough you will see the old family trying to run out of the house to escape the horror. As you continue on you will come out to high street. When my girlfriend and I got to high street we did not want to leave the lighted streets. Good luck!

Hello everyone.
I have lived in Columbus Ohio for 40 some years now & i have a couple of true story’s to tell about Mooneys Mansion!
What i know about this place gives me the chills when i talk about it because it happened to me & my friend’s.
When i was about 13 me & my friends rode our bikes down to Mooney’s Mansion! It was Summertime around 9:00pm it was getting dark we rode by the house & up in the attic window there is always a light on with a figure of a person in it? we came back the next night one of my friend’s had a night vision camera
we put it at the base of the hill & it took a picture of the house & in the picture it had the figure of a man in the window!this is no **** every time you go by this house that light was on i have been by it numerous time’s.
But that wasn’t nothing we rode down there again another time in the day & my friends dared me to go up to the house so i said i would if someone else would go also & one of them said ok so we made our way up the windy old walk with old dead tree branches & vines hanging over the steps im telin you this place is creepy even in the daytime!
So we went up to the house & in front of the door there was this big old area rug in front of the door no curtains in the place a big window to the right of the front door where there was this girl about 5 or so playing on the floor we knocked on the door no one answered? we knocked on the window where the girl was & she didn’t respond? Then all of a sudden she got up turned & looked at us waved then walked toward the other room & it looked like she vanished transparent like? so we knocked another time & then a tall man answered the door he looked like a funeral director or something he had a black suit on had black circles under his eyes he asked can i help you & we was shocked that someone answered the door i quicly made up a name i asked if billy lived here & was he home & he said yes & then i made up a last name & the strange man said yes hes been waiting for you! about that time thru the door we saw a winding staircase that went up into two different directions of the house one east & one west & when the man said hes been waiting for you on the west staircase there was a boy about 8 or so coming down the stairs looking exactly like the man clothes & all! we freaked out & ran down the hill & got the hell outa there. i live close by Walhalla’s now & still go by the place i think different people live there now they probably get alot of people buggin them about the house.
Comment by Rick | 09.29.2007 | 7:40 am
I go up to walhalla at least 3 or 4 times a month in the middle of the night just to coast down that one way street!!! when you get to mooneys mansion there is a small drive where you can back ito right near the bridge . if you sit there long enough you will begin to here screams and crys coming from the mansion.. get out one night and walk threw the woods up there.. there are many houses near by so nothing to be that scared about!! take the time to enjoy the endless nights of hearing her screams!!!
Comment by Lena | 10.2.2007 | 11:21 am
dear mr. and mrs. Conaway,
how do we know if you really live in that house? also how do you know for sure nothing really happened? i would love to hear from you. please e-mail me.
bsang_r6@yahoo.com thanks!!
Comment by melissa | 10.6.2007 | 5:38 pm
In the 1960’s my friend and I would walk down Walhalla on our way home from Olympic pool. The stories have been around for many years. We would scare ourselves silly. There was at that time a stone marker about 4 or 5 feet tall at the edge of the road in front of the mansion. Legend had it that it marked the grave of an Indian Princess. We never saw anything but we had a good time. Later when we got our drivers license’s we would drive down and get just as scared. I have taken all 7 of my kids and their friends down there too, and scared the **** out of them. Have fun, but respect the privacy of the residents.
Comment by Cheri | 10.7.2007 | 1:11 am
I’ve been to the Walhalla area many times, many just to explore the area. I’ve heard all of the stories, and am especially curious about the part where there is someone hanging from the bridge on Calumet, interested if there is any truth to this at all. Actually I’ve never actually known the exact address of the allegedly haunted house but I’ve heard that it’s the white one that sits on the hill right next to the bridge on the left hand side. Does anyone know if this is the true residence or not? I’ve been told that the haunted house is now boarded up and no one is living there, but that specific house has people living there…I plan to take a camcorder to the area and hopefully catch some good film, perhaps a ghost? - I’ll post the video on Youtube for anyone who is intrested. Not to sure on when I’ll be able to get down there.
Comment by natetheskate | 10.7.2007 | 7:44 pm
This **** is true as hell ive been up there many years ago and strange **** always happens i went there on halloween night and it was totally abanded borded windows and all we walked all around it and the very next morning we went back to see it in the day light and it was no longer unoccupied no borded windows and the fountian was running and a man came out the front and said he had lived there for quite some time and tried to get us to go in for a tour down through the celler basement door thats when we left fast that **** is crazy crazy i believe it has to be one of the most haunted places around real true scary ****…..lace
Comment by Lacey Keeton | 10.17.2007 | 9:49 pm
The houuse and the road do exist, but the haunting is all made up. It is the white one on the hill by the bridge. If you went to a boarded up house you were on the wrong road. That is an middle to upper class neighborhood with much sought after property. Houses/property are bought long before they are considered abandoned. A family lives there now and they have for over thirty years. I went to school with one of the kids. They actally left a posting on this page. See the by “Conway”.

A few years ago me and two of my friends went to the house and knocked on the door and a old man answered. When he did my friend ted asked if tom was there and the old man said yes he has be expecting you we got a little worried. There was two kids sitting on the couch in the front room a little boy and a little girl both were pale and eyes were white as clouds and stared at us with hate so we all took off running and when we turned around the lights in the house was turning on and of.

Well, I have actually been in this house, upstairs and down in the basement. I am 33 now and live in Michigan but still get chills when I visit and go down High street and pass Walahala. Bear with me for this is a True Stroy. When I was about 13 or 14 we all new the rumors of Mooney’s Mansion. Myself, my twin brother and 3 other friends visited it. We started going up the long hill of a front yard (if you have been there you know what I mean) and saw a car pull in the garage aera in the back. We ducked down and before long could see a man walking around in the house. We actually got the balls to knock on the door and he answered. He looked to be in his mid 30’s and when looking in the house you could tell a family lived here, with smaller children. We talked on the porch of the legend and he did know of it but said nothing scarey had happend to them. Then myself and 2 others went down the hill to move our bikes out of the road because he was going to give us a tour. When we got back to the porch nobody was there so we knocked. He answered as if he didn’t know who we were or where our other friends were. Then he said he was just joking and gave us a tour. He showed us the red ink hoses in his basement that ran to the lion statues on his front porch. If he pushed a button the red ink would come out of the lios’ eyes. Very cool! He then showed us the bedrooms upstairs. He said he did hear wierd noises at times but never anything that scared him or his family. I doubt if the same guy lives there now and while in the house nothing seemed scarey. But like I said, when I visit down that way every now and then and drive by there I still get the creeps. Very spooky road that Walahala.

The most exciting thing I’ve seen on Walhalla was the bike race a few months ago. Other than that I mainly just hate all the rich people there.

Okay, so I first heard about the legend of Walhalla about two years ago, my senior year in high school. Two of my best friends told me that they had gone to the street and heard that you were supposed to put flour on the back windshield of the car. Supposedly, they did this and got into the car. As they started to drive, apparently thier car accelerated as it went under the Calumet bridge, where a girl was hung according to the legend. When they got to High Street, they got out and looked at thier car. What they told me was that they saw tiny handprints as if the ghost of the girl and pushed them through this spot. Hearing this, of course I was skeptical. So I asked one of my friends to take me down there. We didn’t have any flour but I still wanted to see if anything weird would happen. So we got into the car and she got our speed up to about 25 mph and then took her foot off the pedal. Now normally, you would think the car would simply just coast. However, the car sped up to about 35-40mph while her foot was nowhere near the pedal! Now there were tiny hills that the car went up and over without her actually driving. I was still in disbelief so I asked her to do it again. The exact same thing happened. So believe what you want, but nothing about that drive was normal!

I have lived across from the so called ‘Mooney’s Mansion’ for all of my life and I am 36.
When I was a Child, I tried to investigate the House.
But it is not Haunted.
The story is just a Legend.
Now there are people living in there and half the things I have read on this page I am almost positive are made up.

Hello people…ok I went to the joe testa site and looked at transfer of this property..now I cant understand how a dead guy transfered his property over to his dead wife?? the home was purchased in 1944 by Derrie S and Derry J Mooney then in 1961 property was transfered over to just Derrie S. I’m guessing Derry died of natural causes or even could have been a divorce but In 1980 property was transfered over to Conaway. So I hate to burst everyones bubble but this whole story in Bunk. I bet ya the guy who started it is still getting a good belly laugh over it and bet ya he/she is a ghost themselves by now. As for those of you that claim you have seen ..heard things The mind is very POWERFUL if you believe something strong enough Your mind will make it happen.
