review 1: This short book is full of famous (and not so famous) spooky, weird and creepy stories of Ohio's paranormal happenings. Makes a grest book to read around a campfire or in the dark with just a flashlight :-) And, I loved the "factoids" posted every few pages. No wonder Ohio has the most Big Foot sightings and these tales are the fodder for sci-fi movies. Ohio's really the heart of "it" all! Maybe other states are just jealous??
review 2: I would have never pictured Ohio as a hot spot for paranormal activity (the Mansfield Reformatory notwithstanding), but this book is filled with short stories strange goings on in the Buckeye state. The stories range from well-documented to the campfire story told to scare new campers, and all are pretty entertaining. Each short
... more story also has asides, set off in a gray box, related in some way to the main story. Most people are familiar with the Mothman legends, courtesy of the movie "The Mothman Prophecies." Lesser known stories include the Loveland frogs, the Mellon heads, werewolf sightings, Bigfoot sightings and even a couple well-documented UFO sightings (one of which inspired the UFO chase scene from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. A quick and entertaining read for those interested in the more unusual aspects of Ohio's history. less
