Being a stupid Ohioan youth, a few years back I became obsessed with exploring decrepid, abandoned, historical, creepy buildings. (This is an actual emotion, called kenopsia. It means to love something that is decaying, past it's prime, abandoned, etc. And somehow that is supposed to signal your own feelings of abandonment or decay? Idk.)
Pic story coming in next post.
www.forgottenoh.com is a good site, but most of the information is outdated. Mudhouse Mansion is on my list, assuming it's there. If not, it will still be fun to fuck with the inbreds who own the land. Also looking for the water tower and the grain elevator, but I have not found it yet. Also visited King Gambrinus, I stop by the pub he sits next to in Columbus a lot.
Anyway, I'm looking for more sites in Ohio (or nearby states) to visit. The less visited, the better. If any anons here know of any sites, in Ohio or not, feel free to share. Post photos, stories, whatever. Also keep in mind that most of these sites may involve trespassing, either ask permission, not get caught, or view it legally from afar. OP takes no responsibility for anons dumb enough to get caught.
Happy Hunting.

Op here. Story behind photo below.
Due to the laziness of construction workers, you can often explore these places before they're town down or bought by some rich asshole.
Pic related, it is the "House of Nightmares" in Bangs, Ohio. The building is also sometimes referred to as the Knox County Poor House. If you were homeless, Autistic, Blind, Deaf, insane, Deformed, Had some sort of abnormality or disability, or just weird (aka anyone on this website), you'd either be thrown in her or you'd turn yourself in I think. I believe the building was built a little after the civil war, 1860s-ish. It was truely a "nightmare" if you had to live there, hence the name. It burned down about a year or half a year ago. I don't remember exactly. It was supposedly haunted by those who lived there. It was also made into a haunted house attraction in the 2000s and 2010s, up until the building was condemned for being unstable and unsafe, as the floor had a nasty habit of breaking beneath you. I can post more photos of when I visited it later, my mobile network is kinda shit. The large wood burning fireplace in the rear of the building still stood when I was there, and was rumored to burn the bodies of the deceased. I also saw no paranormal or weird activity in my visits, and I'm pretty sure there is no weird shit (ie ghosts, faces) in my photos.
Will now proceed to dump as much as I can.
