cry, the towns people yelling and the mother crying for help.
Greenfield- Ghormley Road
This road near Good Hope makes an abrupt and dangerous S-curve to avoid a huge, old tree. The curve is
right before a bridge which is reputed to be haunted. Apparently so many people have died at this dangerous
spot in the road that their ghosts linger and make weird noises on certain nights -- including some manifestations
of the "crybaby bridge." As is so often the case, the creepy old bridge here was taken out a couple of years ago
and replaced with a bland asphalt overpass.
Railroad Bridge - The ghost of a woman and her baby that were hit by a train haunts the bridge. It is said
that if you drive up to the bridge and honk your horn, you'll hear the baby start to cry and the mother hushing it.

Cedar Woods Apartments - This apartment complex is said to be haunted. Residents have heard banging

Elizabeth’s grave
The cemetery’s (where her grave is located) real name is Mount Union - Pleasant Valley Cemetery and a
church had set on the property near the right large tree in the rear of the cemetery. Mount Union - Pleasant
Valley is located on Union Lane off Egypt Pike near Chillicothe, Ross County.
There are a couple of local legends about this site. In one, Elisabeth hangs herself from a tree located in the rear
of the cemetery. In another, Elisabeth was beheaded by a group of men who was angry about her inheritance of
her late husband's land. This also took place near a tree in the rear of the cemetery. And lastly, we've
discovered another story that has Elisabeth hanging herself in the tree, being cut down, dragged across the
cemetery, and killed under a different tree. The angry men were also responsible for this one. In any case, her
body was buried at the front of the cemetery, but her tombstone constantly moves to the place that she died (in
the rear of the cemetery). The church and any evidence of it is long gone, however. As a side-note, the alternate
spelling is Elizabeth's Grave.
