Real Haunted House

Old Zane Mansion

Martins Ferry, Ohio

This mansion is located on the site of an old cemetery. Constantly, the town and cemetery were being flooded, thus they were both moved to another location. When the coffins were moved, it is said that Hannah Zane�s was empty. The house, which used to be an occult and a bordello, is now said to be haunted by Hannah.. There have been reports of her walking up and down the halls and dancing in the living room. There have also been reports of a small child staring out of the window on the stairwell. Others have alleged being able to feel on woman�s hand rubbing on their shoulder only to turn around and find no one there.

A friend and i had searched the internet for haunted places and seen there was one located in the city we live in. We looked for 3yrs to find that it’s possible location is on S third street. We are going to investigate further on this house…it looks scary. We are going to take pics of it soon. Can you tell me…if this is the correct street?

Helga I have pics of a house believed to be the Old Zane Mansion in Martins Ferry, Ohio. I went yesterday a couple times and took pics inside and out. I uploaded the pics to my PC and caught some images of what seems to be a few ppl watching me out windows and a pic of a face looking out of a fireplace. You can contact me at SwtGMeno87@sbcglobal.net if you’re interested in more info

I once lived in that house..That’s where I met my husband. My daughter, Rachelle and I lived there in 1994 for almost a year. My husband lived in the apartment down the hall from me. I lived in te one upstairs to the left. I don’t recall having any problems there but my sister said that I use to complain about noises all night long. I don;t realy remember…I had a slum landlord so i probably thought that it was just the neighbors…anyways I’m glad I moved there because thats where I fell in love with my husband.

we just went there just last weekend “June 2006″ but it was extremly late at night because my husband’s band was playing at a bar up there and we had friends who were freaking out because they said they saw a dark shadow and with all their screaming we had to leave before the police came but anyone who has pics that would like to share or exchange please email me and it can be arranged. lipstikk_n_leather@hotmail.com

Georgette its right across the street from the Church.. you can not miss it because its all run down and destroyed with no thanx to the squadder’s that lived in it and destroyed it.. I really wish there could be a way to save that house and get it fixed up with or without the haunting’s

Lynn says:

I would Love to see T.A.P.S go there to investigate but I don’t think they would beable to handle it and they would probly run out real quick..
Especially with all the negetivity they bring in with their investigation’s (back stabbing and all) they would be easy prey for the one spirit that I have encountered there who isn’t so nice and he does Truelly touch you as he did with me and my husband..
this house isn’t a joke.. it is truelly alive.

We went back to the mansion about a month and half ago after my fiance’s bands show that they had up there. we had three other friend’s with us and we just walked into the front door and into Apt #1 and two of my friends started screaming and ran out yelling that they saw the tall dark figure that my fiance was haunted by when he lived in the mansion.

The female that Jake stanley posted about is “Hannah” she look’s out for the children, one is a boy and one is a girl, the children’s death is somehow connected to that house, I Think they were either buried on the land when it was indeed a cementary or they drowned in the flood back in the 1800’s. I forgot the story surrounding their deaths went but my fiance’s ex wife knows the hisorty and & the children’s names.
she & my fiance did an investigation when they were together and my fiance did he own investigation when he was going through the haunting’s in the mansion.

If you wnat anymore information or if you just want to chat about the mansion then please feel free to email me because I would love to keep in touch with anyone who vistis the mansion and or if you have any recent photo’s that you can send me. I can also tell you what room’s are the most haunted in that house.

well we live in martins ferry and there are soo many rumors about that house that it is haunted and whatever soo one day britt went there with some of her friends and she said that she had seen a face sittin in the fireplace,.. and a little girl and her dad standin in the big window downstairs,. and then in the basement she said that she heard noises.,, and the dark door upstairs slams after you enter the room and you cannot open it from the inside,. then my grandmother used to live in wane l hanes towers,. and we would always look out the window and there would be lights on and there wasnt anyone livin there at the time,. then when people lived there this one couple had rot whilers and they would run up and down the hallways scratchin the walls and doors but when you took them outside they would be fine,. this is honestly true and is in no way a lie so if anyone says that it is they should get in contact with us and we will take them the way we know,..

oh and in the attick there are old pictures and stuff but you have to be careful when you go up there cause the steps are fallin in,. and when its dark you can see shadowy figures walk through the house,. and the dad, mom , and daughter will walk with you when you walk past the house but they dont cross the street or anything just to the corner,.

My mother and I went to visit this house that we heard was haunted when we lived in the area back in 1995.
While there, I felt a draft of cold air when I walked into certain rooms, and I saw a shadow of a person following behind us as we walked throughout the house.
We left when I was too scared to stay.
