Rogue’s Hollow
This whole area of town is haunted by the victims of a derailed train. Sometimes the light of the train may be seen. The main complaint, however, is that if one is crossing the tracks, his car will stall. The only thing he can do is sit there and let the phantom train pass through his vehicle. The nearby mill, which has been abandoned for many years, is said to start up every Halloween.

So i just read everyones comments and i have not heard of any of those places but i also dont live around there. They sound cool. I have a story and I submitted it. Its pretty cool but i forgot to say they think the person that haunts the place is a little girl that hung herself because she had just found out she had cancer and it was back in the day so there was no help for her

There is indeed a Rogues Hollow in Clinton as I have just been there last night and I have only journeyed cry baby bridge as of yet and although I did not hear the crying of the infamous baby drowned… there are alot of orbs in the area and it is easy to find.

Anyone interested in the factual story about the Ably House near Galena can find it here. http://www.galenahistorymuseum.org/ablyhouse.htm
The article is based on the court records of the murder trial.

13 steps is a Joke. My buddy was a Park Officer a couple of years ago. We went up into the cememtary many nights, nothing ever happened. But yet many people seem to believe stuff happens there. I live like 3-4 miles away from it. It is behind a gate, You have to walk up the hill to get it. But I wouldn’t go there at night. There is a house right next to it, and they will call the Sheriff, because I know them. Funny thing was we were up there on Halloween about 3 years ago, and boy did we scare the He** outta some people. Oh BTW, its like 22 steps now or somthing, the original 13 steps have been added on to and repaired to make it easier for people to get up to the cemetary.

We went up to Galena to find the Abbley House today, when we stopped at a gas station to ask about it the woman working there gave us directions to where its at. Although we did not go all the way into where the house sits, but as you get closer you begin to get a errie feelings that you are NOT welcomed there. There is a long history on this house even before the Abbley murders. Anyone who is interrested in going all the way to the house email us and we will be happy to go and show you the way. honeycutt626@hotmail.com

Rogue’s Hollow,Doylestown Ohio, from Wikapedia
One of the many crybaby bridges is located near Doylestown, Ohio, in an area known as Rogue’s Hollow. This bridge is located on Galehouse Road, between Rogue Hollow Road and Hametown Road. The bridge spans Silver Creek. Deep in Rogue’s Hollow, this road previously led from the bottom of the hollow (Hametown Rd.) to the top (Rogue Hollow Rd.). The bridge is only approachable from Hametown Rd., as the steeper portion of the road was closed and removed. The bridge is property of the Rogue’s Hollow historical society, which also owns the adjacent Chidester Mill.
Rogue’s Hollow Historical Society “Map to the Mill” link refers to the bridge; road and creek are visible in “Chidester Hill” photo.
It is a very haunted area! Had a lot of fun there!

So I’ve lived in Clinton my whole life. There’s not a whole lot to my life I’m only 14.
But I have been in the Cambridge Apts.
I wouldn’t doubt that they’re haunted.
I loved staying there with my friend who lived there for two years. But you do get that feeling that something’s going on and it’s not great. But the whole hospital thing I have heard is real, and I have always been terrified to even go near them, they looked mighty scarey when I went there.
Other then the appts. I don’t really know of anything else around here actually being haunted.
For the crybaby bridge I heard is real and creepy.
Planing on within the next couple years gettin a group to go and see if anything happens.
so that’s the end of what i know =)
hope it helps?

Hey I’ve lived in Clinton and have all my life but I have never seen any railroad tracks haunting, but yea some parts of Cambrige are haunted. I remember one time me and my friend were walking our dogs and her dog, a black lab,broke of his leash and ran into a hole in the wall the only way in or out because this building of Cambige was closed but anyways we ran after him and we heard wimpering and crying… so we went in there and we couldn’t see anything so we ran back to her apartment which wasn’t far and we got a flash light we went back and the floor was covered with blood and the dog was dead, if you’ve ever seen The Hills Have Eyes, the dog was cut open like that we both stated screaming and crying and I threw up and it was horrible…. we went back and told her mom and then her mom went back to check becasue she didn’t believe us… and there was no dog…no blood… nothing… they never got there dog back… but they ended up moving… anyways If you are going to go to Clitnon for a HAUNTED house I recommend Cambridge apartments.

The Abbley House is real. I used to live in Galena. One night my sister went there with some friends. When they were driving down the road to get there, there was a faint image of a car. My sister looked back in front of her. The faint image of the car was no longer behind her! It was in front og her! Then my sister got to the Abbley House, she walked up the steps, there was a black cat that had red eyes and started hissing. My sister ran down the stairs. Some guy came out and was from Chicago. He had a gun annd told my sister and her friends to go away.
