Question of the Month

I have been living on the west side for about 6 years now. I moved to Parma when I was in 8th grade and I just recently moved to North Royalton to my own place (Yay!). I was wondering why no one has ever written anything about the abandoned metal hospital in Broadview Hts. It is located on Broadview Rd., about 1 mile south out Rt 82, and unfortunetly sits right next to the Broadview Hts. police station. I don't know for SURE if this place is haunted but I do know some of my great but stupid friends went in there and said it is all kinds of screwed up. I am a practicing pagan at the moment and I can usually tell just by looking at something if it has a ugly past. I drove around the outside of it a couple times and something definately went wrong in there. Anyway, it wasn't closed down that long ago (may 20-30 years ago), but when it was closed down, it was out of the clear blue: no warning, no notice. One day it was there and open, the next it was abandoned. I'm just kind of curious I guess. People have been trying to get me to go in there with them but I won't. I don't want to bring anything home with me from that place. Also, it has signs all over the place saying "No Tresspassing", and concidering it is right next to the police station, I would gather that you could get arressted for going in there. Although, I have heard from someone who went in there, that if the cops do see you go in, they WILL NOT follow you. And if you are in there for too long, they say screw it and leave. But if you could post this, that would be great; maybe someone that lives around there could give some more insight on that place. Thanks and great site.

I have lived in North Royalton my whole life. Its about 20-30 min from cleveland, but thats beside the point. I was just wondering if you have heard any creepy stories, myths, or legends about North Royalton. I have checked the sight many times, but i have never seen anything. I have heard stories about my woods, and have accounts of things in the woods on Royalwood Rd. but no one can truly confirm these events because its such a small area and not to many people who really care around here. So i was curious if you have heard of anything or know anything that could help me in my search of some creepy things in town. Its a boring city, but knowing something like that might help make it just that less boring. I love the websight, and its nice to see someone as enthused about the paranormal so close to home. Thank you,

My name in Robert Carrick. I am a student at The University of Pittsburgh and am a Majoring Student of Paranormal Studies. I was wondering if anybody from the Cleveland or Northeastern Ohio Region, would be willing to share any or there stories or personal experiences with me to help me on my thesis project. As a Canton native, this would mean a lot to me! Plus if at all possible, would anyone know of any places that are spiritual hotspots or would allow filming of spiritual activity? If so, please contact me at rpalpatine1@yahoo.com Please send the subject as :Paranormal Info. Thank You very much for you help and time to read this post.

Sincerely, Mr. Robert W. W. Carrick

I found your site almost by accident, and I hope you can help with some Cleveland history questions.
1)Old Sunny Acres TB hospital site. Was the TB hospital where Metro Health Skill Nursing Facility currently is? (Metro East stands on the same property as Tri-C east. SW corner of Harvard and Richmond Rds) I'm finding conflicting answers on line. Also, there is a building on the same property, that is currently abandonded. I was told that at one point this building was the nurses dorms for the old TB hospital. (This building in on the left side of the driveway coming in from Richmond Rd) Is that accurate??
Same area of Harvard Rd.. North West corner of Harvard and Richmond, there was a group of buildings (I understand they were demolished to make room for the Chagrin Highlands project)in the same area as where the Armed Forces Recruiting station is (and also immediatly across Harvard for the driveway to Tri-C) I'm getting conflicting stories on what these buildings were. Some have told me it was a work house for the county. Some have told me it was the County Hospital (forerunner to Metrohealth) and served the poor and psych patients. Which is accurate, and what was it called?
2)I grew up in Euclid, and there was a building on Euclid Ave. between E. 260th and Babbitt Rd, on the south side of Euclid Ave. (The property is now a nursing home/retirement community) I remember people saying it was a "funny farm" (their words, not mine) Is this where the old Ridgecliff Psych Hospital stood?
I appreciate any input you are able to give me.

Thank you in advance

willowmoon@sbcglobal.net wants more info on the Witch's Grave in Peninsula...

Recently my friends and I visited a graveyard in Peninsula, Ohio, where there is a witch's grave. We found the grave, the marker looks like it has been struck by lightening many times. The only name on the stone is McGovrn. No dates or first name. The symbols on the stone are also unusual. We would like more information regarding the witch buried there, but have been unable to find anything in our online searches. If anyone has any information please e-mail me.
Thank you

There is a really cool huge three story Victorian house on rt.94 (State Road) just a few minutes north from rt. 303 in Hinkley. I'm 27 and as far back as I can remember nobody has ever lived in that house. I've always wanted to get in and check it out but unfortunately no one ever has balls enough to go with me. Anybody got any info on this place?

I could have sworn there was a witches grave (who was burned at the stake) somewhere in Kirtland, but I can't seem to find any information about it. Do you have any information regarding this or any other witch graves in Ohio? Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Does any one know the names of the four children who died ? the children of nicholas wilber? i can not find that info any where. also where are they all bured. one story said in a local cemetry? where might that be. please help!!!!

hey, i was told of a story in the local cleveland area or neighboring cities of an asylum that has tunnels that lead to sewer like holes in the ground. Maybe in some metroparks or something... I've been up all night doing research on some of the things that I've read tonight and to be honest, I'm 21 and never been so happy to see the sunrise! Any ways the place is supposed to be closed so I may be talking about the same places as the others.
Plz help thanks,
Jay, here at neosi.

Hey. I havent written you in a long time. Doubt you remember me, lol. I'm a paranormal investigator.
I got a problem here, lol. I used to have the haunted ohio book, I believe it was the 1st one it was in, but you might know the story. I can't remember the name of the woods it happened it or area, but i wanted to look into it some more. I know it happened in ohio though:
A man (coon hunter I believe) went out into these woods in his truck late one night to hunt, with his dogs. He let the dogs out and they ran off into the woods, then he heard them yelping and they came running back and got in the back of the truck, shaking and yelping. He got in, and headed out... big bang hit the passenger side of his truck and he picked up speed and left. When he got home, he discovered deep claw marks in the side of his truck. That sound familiar? I'm stumped, lol. Hope you can help. And keep up the great work on the site.
Sincerely,
Shawn Staggs
