There is actual police records that state what happened at this house. The story I heard was that the dad was sycophantic and one night he got tried of hearing the voices in his head (that was said the voices were of his son and daughter saying, over and over again, "daddy did it, daddy did it") so he got up out of bed got a rope and knife and dragged his wife out to the walkover bridge, that was in front of their house; hung her and cut the rope. He then went back into the house to find his children, that where hiding in the basement. He then shot them and ripped out some of the cinder block wall and buried them in it. He then shot himself. I have heard this story many of times from different people at different times. The first time I heard about this is on a daycare field trip. Pretty messed up uhh? My daycare teacher dare my classmate to go and knock on the door; he thought he was brave, until he got all the way up the hill to the steps leading to the front door and he peed his pants and came running back. All of us kids were screaming and pounding on the windows for him to come back. I have been there several more times; every time I go something happens! It is so very true!!

I have heard a LOT of stories about the house and bridge. Some people on here have said some of the same things. Mainly I think a man went crazy killed his whole family and killed himself. I have not been there since i was a preteen but would love to go back now that I am older and into the whole ghost thing! I have seen ghosts but not at any "haunted" places. my dad’s ex wife took my father my younger brother and I to wahala. she told us about the husband killing his wife and children then killing himself. and also about a boy who was teased and bullied whom hung himself from the bridge after school but it was rumored that someone killed him.

I now know where Mooney's Mansion is. Been there PLENTY of times. One day when I was down there, there was a WHITE OWL in the middle of the creek along the right side of the road. I found that quite ODD. The story about the mansion is true but he also killed his 2 daughters. So I've been told by life long residents of Walahalla. I read on here one day that if you start off on Indianola Ave. at Walahalla, if you turn your car off, put it in neutral, and steer, you can coast ALLLL the way to High St. Well, it's true. I took my mom up there to do it with her one day cause she didn't believe me and SHE FREAKED OUT. It was actually funny. lol! But the witch being hung from the bridge... NOT TRUE! It was a OSU student who comitted suicide. It is said that her spirit still hangs out there. I don't know... BUT... A couple of years ago, my dog, me and a friend stopped right before the bridge and we heard a big BOOM on top of the car. I seen a shadow go through the car. My dog must of seen it too cause he was going crazy and he was looking ALL over for it. My friend got out of the car cause he thought someone up on Calumet through something at us, nobody was there. I told him I seen a shadow but he was confussed cause the dog was going nuts. We then backed the car up and right where we was sitting, directly under the car was a PLASTIC statue of baby Jesus. A PLASTIC statue would NOT have made that loud, god awful noise and would not have landed directly where the shadow passed through the car. I still don't understand it. THIS IS A TRUE STORY! I was there. It happened to me. I would like to understand what kind of hold the paranormal have on Walahalla Ave. Would anyone like to establish some kind of PARANORMAL RESEARCHING, GHOST HUNTING group in Ohio? I'm VERY interested. If you are too, Email me at JenGore1984@aol.com. Thank You. P.S. My moms house is also haunted! OK!!! I now know where Mooney’s Mansion is. Been there PLENTY of times.

There was no murder done in that area, no murder/suicide of a husband & wife in the 50s; a bit of research with the papers and records of the time will tell you that. There's othing spooky about the road at all. It is an odd road -- it's a back-country road down the ravine, in the middle of metro Columbus. Very pretty, tree-shaded, and bursting with flowers in the spring. But no spookier than, say, the Olentangy bike trail at night. And as for the "man yelling at people" -- yeah, the cops watch folks pretty closely in that area BECAUSE of all the stories; the people who own said house are pretty tired of all the trespassers. The road IS an incline, and biking down it, you can coast all the way through the road without pedaling. And SteadySteve -- do your research. You can't access Walhalla by car off High St, as Walhalla's one-way at that point, no turns allowed. You have to come down it from the Indianola end. Fake, fake, fake.
