Richard Road Investigation

 

Richards Road

This story is written by our TOGHS member Michelle Maddux
I pulled up to the creepy looking house on Richards’s road at around 7pm. Upon first impression, the place had that air of ‘old abandoned house’, but the fact that it was set so far back from the road, and screened off by a line of trees made it the perfect type of place for us to be investigating. Upon walking up to the group and re-introducing myself (mind you this was my first investigation with the group, as I recall it was my ‘probation investigation’ so to speak) it seemed to be controlled chaos of setting up and walk through. It only took about 20 minutes for things to pick up. Read more »

Ohio State Insane Asylum Tuberculosis Ward, Athens


The old tuberculosis ward is the sole abandoned building remaining on the grounds of the Ridges. It was built in 1924 on top of a large hill, totally isolated from the rest if the facility. In the late 70’s, the building became the “Beacon School” for mentally challenged students and young adults. It was abandoned in the early 1980’s. Over the years many of the other buildings have been renovated and are now being used by the University. Some are used for classrooms while others are for storage; the large main building (formally the old Athens Lunatic Asylum) is now the Kennedy Arts Museum. The TB ward is the only building that remains untouched and abandoned. It stands alone on top of the hill, just above the cemetery. Read more »

South Street

This case was brought to TOGHS by Case Manager Marie. During Marie’s interview, she learned that his side by side Duplex home on South Avenue was built in 1897. It has had many different owners over the past century. One of the former owner’s Wilton C Lyman had a very mysterious past. Wilton lived in the home from 1941 through 1954 along with whom we believe to be his wife Annie Mae. It looks as though he may have bought the home from his Father Louis A Lyman who owned the home previously. On December 24, 1954 Wilton came up missing. The newspaper reports stated Read more »
