Submission: Riverside Cemetery
Orig. Published 2/24/03: Here’s a particularly chilling submission by Russell, who has also offered two pictures he took of Riverside Cemetery’s chapel this past summer (see below).
I lived around Riverside Cemetery when I was a kid and used to play there before they built I-71. My brother and I have always witnessed strange sounds/sights there when we were younger. We have since moved away to Lorain county, but both my parents and my two brothers are buried there and I visit a few times a year. Continue reading

Understanding the mystery of Tinker’s Creek first requires a look back at its history. And its history is quite mysterious indeed. Continue reading

(Orig. Published 9/3/2004)
