Spend The Night At Ohio’s Most Haunted Campground For A Truly Terrifying Experience

Sometimes, natural beauty has an eerie past.

This October you can join the Haunted Hocking Investigation Team for a Hocking Halloween Campout. (For more information, click here.) Explore the unexplained and search for answers at Ash Cave, one of the state’s parks most beautiful—and supposedly haunted—areas. Take a look:

Within the southern most portion of the Hocking Hills region, you'll find Ash Cave. It's a popular area locals love to explore.

Ash Cave is truly impressive. It's the larges recess cave in all of Ohio. You'll find it along OH-56 in Logan.
This gorgeous cave measures 700 ft. from end to end, 100 ft. deep and 90 ft. high. It features a tall, cascading stream visitors love to photograph.

Named after a large pile of ashes found under the cave by early settlers or Native Americans, Ash Cave has a long history of sheltering inhabitants long before the state park was established.
The gorge trail is just a 1/4-mile in length so it's perfect for a short hike. Camping at the cave is not permitted but this October you can explore the cave during the Hocking Halloween Campout.

Join the Haunted Hocking Investigation Team on October 27 - 29, 2017 for an adventure you won't forget.
Some lingering spirits of the cave's inhabitants may haunt the cave to this day. Strange lights have been spotted in the woods opposite the cave.

During an educational hike with park staff near the cave, a pair of greenish-yellow lights darted in and out of the trees one winter evening, according to heartofhocking.com.
The trails close at dusk, so it's prohibited to explore the area after dark on your own. Attend this year's Hocking Halloween Campout to find out what's really going on at Ash Cave...
