What are some creepy abandoned places in Ohio?

 

There's a place in Mansfield, Ohio, that's all but guaranteed to give you the creeps. If you’re looking for abandoned places in Ohio to explore, consider a tour of the Mansfield Reformatory in Ohio -- but be aware that this is one of the eeriest abandoned places in Ohio -- and it's not for the faint of heart. While the exterior of the building may be beautiful (if not hauntingly so), the lonely cells and restless spirits roaming about inside are far from welcoming. This prison first opened in 1886 and is nearly 130 years old. The reformatory is known to house some of the country's most violent ghosts; spirits of rioting inmates who fought each other to the death in overcrowded isolation cells are said to haunt the halls and cells of this former prison, which closed in 1990. Since then, the reformatory has gained national acclaim, most notably as the filming location for "The Shawshank Redemption." Today, it's open to curious visitors looking to explore a haunting -- albeit stunning -- piece of Ohio history. Shiver!
