You’ll find Ohio’s most famous ghost towns scattered across the state’s southeastern region, where coal mining and railroad industries once thrived. Moonville stands out as the most haunted, with its tunnel witnessing 27 deaths since 1856. Helltown earned notoriety when the government seized an entire community in the 1970s for parkland. San Toy housed nearly 1,000 coal miners before violent labor disputes emptied it in 1924. These abandoned settlements reveal fascinating stories of prosperity turned to ruin.
