 McConnelsville

• McConnelsville Opera House - This old 1890s Opera House in the canal town of McConnelsville is said to be haunted. An elderly usher named Everett, who wears a white suit, can be seen on many occasions. A ghostly woman also haunts the theater, walking on the catwalks backstage. Paranormal investigation groups have reportedly gotten many good results from the opera house. (Thanks to Brian for the additional information).

• Morgan County Courthouse - The door to the genealogy room is known to close by itself. The hauntings in this building is linked to a gun stored in the genealogy room. The gun was the direct cause of at least two deaths in it's dark history. In 1905 a man by the name of Wood Stuart killed the town marshal Horace Porter with the gun. Stuart was sent away to a mental institution. Four years later, the county prosecutor Francis Parsons shot himself with the gun while in his office at the courthouse. The gun was placed into the historical records and has been known to be the cause for many strange happenings.
