Defiance
Rolling Hills Trailer Court - Residents throughout the trailer court have reported strange encounters with ghostly figures. Some residents have reported seeing the spirits of a woman and child on the grounds and others have reported seeing an orange tabby cat with a white left forepaw. Longtime residents believe there is an old Indian burial ground in the wooded area next to the trailer court.
Valentine Theater - Now turned into a church, a ghostly boy was seen regularly walking up and down the stairs leading the basement, where the restrooms are, before the place was turned into a church. It is believed that he died there many years ago.
Evansport
Buck Cemetery - Located about 500 yard off a dirt road, the entryway to this cemetery is shrouded by dense trees. It is said that while you're walking back to the cemetery through the trees, you can see a strange light at the end of the path. It disappears by time you get up to it. Witnesses have also reported seeing an eerie apparition hovering above them upon first arrival in the cemetery. The ghost is believed to be that of Mr. Buck, who was either a former caretaker of the cemetery or was a horse thief hung from a tree there.
