Ghostly tales abound from fallen war heroes of Bowling Green State University to the darkened woods of Holcomb Road.

A soldier who died in a desperate attempt to save hundreds still guards Fort Meigs. Though nothing stands there now, the spot of the infamous Woodbury House remains a terror--just as it was for the earliest settlers in the area./
