You’ll find Boston, Ohio’s haunting transformation in Summit County, where a thriving 19th-century mill town became known as “Helltown” after federal intervention in 1974. Through eminent domain, the government forced residents to abandon their homes for the creation of Cuyahoga Valley National Park. This displacement sparked numerous urban legends, from supernatural sightings to tales of cult activity. The village’s Gothic Presbyterian church and abandoned structures hold stories that bridge historical fact and folklore.
