This is Lynn again .. I am the person who orginally got this story online…To The Person who said that they talked to the historian and the historian said that tts not the house… it is the house… The Zane’s lived in that house while their main mansion was being built in Zanesville… My Fiance had a book that proved the location of the house and the whole story about it but when he moved he lost the book.. there was also a sister house of the mansion.. I do not know the exact location but the owners changed the exterior appearence of the house….

Their are 2 child spirits in the house.. one boy, one girl. they died in the land.
if anyone would like to discuss and compare stories just email me.. lipstikk_n_leather@hotmail.com

I NO THAT HOUSE I LIVE RIGHT BYE IT BUTT I DONT WANNA GO IN IT LOL IM TOO SCARED TO DEATH

Me and my friends Brittany,Kiah,and Mike went to the Old Zane Mansion last year sometime,but we didn’t see anything

if i could get directions or exact location of this house, that’d be great. i’m thinking about staying the night. pictures or info appreciated! asmplkndoflyf@verizon.net

Do you know the name of the book that your fiance had?
I’ve been to the house a few times. It has a new owner and the doors are boarded up.

I think this story is confused with Wheeling Island. Martins Ferry doesn’t constantly flood and the location of the house is not in a flood area. Hannah and her husband Jonathon, never lived in Martins Ferry but did live on Wheeling Island.

I’m not talking about Wheeling Island, I know Wheeling Island Floods all the time, you have to remember that we are talking about an different era of time, back in the 1800’s. It was the Zane’s Temp HOme while their Real Mansion was being built.
Here is the address for all that is interested
and for pictures email me at lipstikk_n_leather@hotmail.com

It stands at 210 South Third Street

I am just taking some time to clear a couple of thing’s up as far as the era of when the zane’s occupied this home.

This Mansion was a “temporary home” for the Zane Family while their historic “Zane Mansion” was being built. There was at one time a TWIN MANSION on Wheeling Island but the twin mansion no longer looks the same and was remodeled.

NOw as far as the Book Goes that had the photo’s of the mansion in it. I have no idea what the book was titled but what I do know is that His Friend Bought him the old Book in a Book store.
Not every Librarian knows all the history of their surrounding area. New Thing’s are learned every day about our past’s.
Now I have a few pics of the house on my “myspace site” in a folder called” Ghost’s
Please look for the images there thank you.

What is the new owner doing to the place? I liked living there,..teh only problem I had like i said in my previous post was the landlord. I lived in 2 different apartments there,..The one at teh top fron left (with the door leading to nowhere ourside) and then down the hall last apartment on right hand side. BOth were upstairs. When they devided the house upstairs to make several apartments it was done very shabby and so the noises I thought I heard i belived came from the other apartments,..who knows now?? I hate to see that it was never taken care of because it really was a nice place inside.

Dawn from what I have heard the new owners are going to fix it up and i guess rent the apartments out again. My Finace lived in top two apartments on the left. He was the one who knocked down the wall in the one room to extend the apartment.
I will be concerned for anyone who moves in there after the restoration.

I lived in that Apartment building when I was a kid and can definately tell you that its haunted. I didnt know about its history until just now. I used the see a shadow figure at the end of the hall going toward another room. Thinking it was my Mom, I would go and find nobody there. I thought I heard someone calling my name, again not my Mother. Me and a friend saw a face in the mirror while we were havig a sleepover on the living room floor. I always had a feeling someone would be coming out of the fireplace. I remember having alot of really bad dreams there also. I get chills thinking about it now.

I live close to Martin’s Ferry, across the river in the town of Warwood. Just wondering if there are any other haunted places in the area. I would really like to check out the old Zane mansion sometime.

Could the webmaster of this site please create a
script on this bullentin so that if someone post’s a message that we can be contacted. I ask because I get mnay emails in regaurds to the zane mansion and I also miss some new post’s with question’s on he site and i would love to keep intouch with everyone who visit’s or who has had an experience in the house.

Lynn

First I’d like to say thank you to Lynn for helping us find the exact location of the’mansion.’ I’m writing a book about the local Ohio Valley, it’s hauntings, forgotten history and legends. The ‘Haunted Zane Mansion’ has been a favorite of mine to research and I thought you all may be interested in what I’ve discovered. I’d like to clarify that this is historical record. The Zanes were buried in Wheeling and that cemetery did flood. But due to the fast growth of the city, the cemetery was removed as were the bodies. The Zanes were moved to Walnut Grove in Martins Ferry. Hannah Zane SHOULD be buried there as well but she isn’t. So yes, there is a question as to what happened to her body. I too have some interesting photos of the mansion, one in particular looks like a child in the window of the stairwell If you’d like to know more you can read the book when it comes out. It will also have personal experiences from those who lived in the mansion. For more information you can check out http://www.myspace.com/whisperedtalesov

If anyone has anyother photo’s of the mansion could you please send them to me via email

My friends and I have been inside this place to investigate the allegid hauntings. Although we didn’t find anything paranormal (we thought we did, but it turned out to be a cat), the place does give off a very eerie feeling. I wouldn’t say either way that it’s haunted or not. We didn’t experience anything, but then again we weren’t in there long. It’s a pretty public place to try to get into. There are houses on either side as well as an apartment building. The doors and most of the windows have been boarded shut. It’s really a great place though. If you decide to go, just be careful.

I live in Martins Ferry and I did know about this house until recently, when my grandson told me about it…I am quite interested in the background and pictures of this house…If any one can provide pictures or any more info that is not already been discussed in this forum, please let me know…I am very curious to learn more… Starr

Hello Every one.. It’s Me Again. I try to visit this site as much as I can and answer questions as much as I am able too, It hard at times because this site doesn’t have an option to receieve any notification when a comment is posted. so I do forget to check the site! lol sorry..
anyway
visit my myspace website and go to my pics and you will see a folder that has photo’s of the house that my fiance and I took during our visits to the zane mansion.
sadly we have not been back there in a few years becuase of the gas prices and the distance (we live about 2hrs away)
and we have a huge van that sucks up alot of gas!
anyway please feel free to take a look at the photo’s and you can send me and email at lipstikk_n_leather@hotmail.com

Lynn
