Yup. I grew up not far from Cry Baby Bridge in Norton. It was a creepy place to grow up. Akron has alot of haunted areas as well. The civic theater is pretty creepy.
I went to Swifts Hollow when I lived in Medina the first two years of high school. That place is not just creepy its terrifying.

There were loads of haunted places in Idaho, where I now live and also lots in Washington. This place, The Oxford Saloon is my old stomping grounds where I use to sing and worked as a waitress and bar tender for a time. It is a very, very cool place and old. I never felt any presence of any ghost but then.....I'm probably not "receptive." 
It is such a nifty, old historic building that it was used in the filming of Rose Red, a mini series by Steven King. I remember them roping off the block and filming. That whole street is the old part of Snohomish....full of antique stores and saloons. A really neat little town that of course, has grown a lot lately.
This site was emailed to me and I'm having all kinds of fun looking through it and reading your remarks about your area as well.

There are a LOT more haunted places in Peterborough than the one they listed on that site... infact, I've never even heard of the Rockhaven being haunted!
I know the Lift Locks are reported to be haunted (they were shown on Creepy Canada actually). At Trent University's Traill College, Scott house is haunted as is Bradburn (once was an orphanage), and the experience I had in the Animal house convinces me that is not a place you want to be if you don't like being scared. Apparently the Peterborough Museum is as well. And those are just the 'public' buildings. There is a law office that is reported to be VERY haunted, the Red Cross branch, as well as private homes of course

There is 4 in my town. Although it says the cemetary is now gone and houses are being built there. I should have a walk down and see. I remember going there as teens to scare ourselves.
the wods by my house was a old mill. part sof the mill still stand and is said to be haunted. I never knew that until i read it years ago, and thus have stopped walking alone in it lol.
The lake is haunted. But its a old story from 100 years ago. the bodies are still buried there in a small cemetary about 300feet from the play ground for kids lol

I bet the kids love that. Lots of kids love the thrill of getting scared. LOL. I sure did. Instead of a bf taking me somewhere, I took a boyfriend to an old, not used anymore cemetary when I was in high school and scared the bejeezus out of him. LOL. There were dates on the crumbling stones from back in the 1800s and lots of young children were buried there...must have been some kind of plague.
i used to live in fredericksburg virginia. primo civil war ghost land. the battle of fredericksburg took place on the very land i went to college on. when they were clearing trees to build the college buildings they kept breaking saw blades on old cannon balls embedded in the trees.
i never had a single creepy experience. not one. i feel so ripped off.

Baldwin-Wallace, the school I went to for a year, is a VERY haunted campus. The primary place is Kohler Hall, which I was going to live in for my sophomore year until I decided for sure a few weeks before going that I hated my major and wanted to take a break and withdraw. Kohler is in the top 10 most haunted places in Ohio.
It was originally a civil war hospital, then a part of the Underground Railroad, a psych institution, an orphanage, and a morgue. Right across the street from it is a sanctuary, and there's an underground "road" connecting Kohler to the church. The tunnel was used to take the dead to the sanctuary to be buried during the war. It has since been closed off due to student complaints, but it's said that you can still see a faint blue mist surrounding it (the basement, which was the morgue during the war, is still open).
There was a girl several years ago who, against regulation, had her boyfriend spend the night. She sat up screaming, had bloody, violent scratches ALL over her arms (she had not been scratching herself), trashing, ended up getting out of bed and running up and down the halls screaming, and then went back to bed like none of it had ever happened. They took pictures of it, and I don't remember if she said it, but it's said that she was attacked by a ghost in her sleep (she resided in one of the haunted rooms).
There's another room where there was a little girl who lived when it was a psych ward. She ended up dying because her parents couldn't afford the treatment. Her parents donated a hefty sum to the hospital, and they put a plaque on the door of where she lived. To this day, they've repainted, replaced, sanded, everything, and the plaque still stays there, and it's said that you can hear the little girl in the room, opening drawers, whispering, etc. She's apparently a friendly ghost.
There are a few other very violent ghost stories, but I don't remember what they are.
The astronomy tower is very haunted, I don't remember what the story is. I just remember it was a VERY violent story, and it's dangerous to go in there after hours.
There were a ton of other buildings that are haunted, but I don't remember them all. During orientation they held a haunted campus tour and told us all of the stories of all of the haunted places. It lasted a few hours, hah.

Neat site, Thanks Carrie (I think...LOL!) There were so many places listed within 15 minutes or less of me. I kind of expected that though--lots of old victorian buildings and even colonial stuff etc. There was one that surprised me though about the ghost of a boy who was supposedly murdered on a woods trail maybe in the 1970's--I'm trying to verify the story since it gives the boys full name--I've lived here all my life and never heard of that sad case....
