Ghosts and Legends of Wood County, Ohio - Paperback

by Melissa R. Davies (Author)

Explore the origins of Wood County lore.

Ghostly tales abound from fallen war heroes of Bowling Green State University to the darkened woods of Holcomb Road. The spirit of Frank Simonds, a venerated World War I veteran who nearly got away with murder, may linger around Main Street in Bowling Green. A soldier who died in a desperate attempt to save hundreds still guards Fort Meigs. Though nothing stands there now, the spot of the infamous Woodbury House remains a terror--just as it was for the earliest settlers in the area.

Wonder-seeker and amateur folklorist Melissa Davies reveals the stranger side of local history.
