Haunted and Historic Ross County

Ross County holds its stories close. Some are whispered across generations, some are buried in forgotten cemeteries, and others drift through the hills, river bottoms, and backroads long after the people who lived them are gone. In Haunted Ross County—part of the series The Haunted 88: A Journey Through Ohio’s Most Mysterious Counties”—author and researcher Mark H. Roe uncovers the strange, unsettling, and often overlooked history woven into the heart of Southern Ohio.

From vanishing graves and ghost-light sightings to lost towns, CCC camp hauntings, and the lingering echoes of Camp Sherman’s 1918 influenza outbreak, this book blends folklore, paranormal history, true crime, and regional legend into a documentary-style exploration of a county where the past never fully disappears.

Drawing on local archives, oral traditions, historical records, and on-the-ground investigation, Mark brings readers into the landscapes where these stories first took root—the hollows, ridgelines, farm fields, and forgotten foundations that still hold traces of what came before. Each chapter offers a deep, atmospheric look at the mysteries that shaped Ross County and continue to haunt its memory.
