Mark H Roe

Mark H. Roe is a retired Corrections Supervisor turned writer and researcher who uncovers the strange, the forgotten, and the unsettling. Based in Chillicothe, Ohio, he explores local history, true crime, and paranormal lore with persistence, wit, and a storyteller’s eye for atmosphere. More than just an investigator, Mark is a collector of stories—whether whispered in backrooms, passed down through families, or buried in old archives. He doesn’t just write about mysteries—he goes looking for them, walking the streets, combing the records, and stepping into the places where the past still lingers. His work preserves the voices and legends that might otherwise fade, giving readers a glimpse into the shadows where history and the unexplained meet.

As Mark often says, “My books live forever, even when the words disappear.”
