Lutheran Ridge Cemetery – Located less than a mile north of the intersection of State Route 568 and Township Road 95, a tombstone in this cemetery is said to contain a terrifying image. The image can only be seen at night in the headlights of a car. It shows Mrs. Copley’s death as her husband squeezes his hands around her throat. It is said that the image appeared on a second tombstone after the first was replaced and that anyone who sits atop the stone will be cursed with bad luck. Related: Contribution

 Crawford 

Crawford Monument – This memorial near a farm just outside of Crawford marks the spot where Colonel William Crawford was brutally killed by Indians in 1782 as retribution for the massacre at Gnadenhutten.

It is said that on foggy nights, you can hear Crawford’s faint screams of agony near the place he was killed.
