Haunted Akron, Ohio
"There have been many reports that the Civic Theatre is haunted, but what about the Perkins Stone Mansion, home of the Summit County Historical Society? Some people believe Grace Perkins, widow of the son of Akron s founder, still hangs around there (Grace didn't like a previous director of the society, but the current one seems to be satisfactory).Author Jeri Holland should know: She's created historical websites for Akron, Summit County and Cuyahoga Falls, and her bookHaunted Akronis a tour of events, places and creepy legends. Holland recounts several tragic deaths, whether by murder, suicide or horrific accident; as the director of a group called Cuyahoga Valley Paranormal, she visits some sites hoping to find spirits and record their voices.The history ranges from colonial, with Mary Campbell's Cave, to the 20th century, recalling the scandalous murder of a matron at the Summit County Juvenile Home." --Ohio.com
