The History of the Ohio State Prison

The stories of hauntings predate the prison, if you can believe it. It's rumored that at least one of the Civil War soldiers stationed there at Camp Mansfield had to be discharged from service and admitted to a mental health facility because they claimed to see mysterious figures around the camp. The superintendent's quarters is rumored to be the home of unexplainable voices, and the occasional whiff of rosewater perfume. A few have even claimed to hear a man and woman talking to each other, sometimes even arguing. There's a room inside the prison that's known to many as the chair room, due to the fact that there's nothing inside it but a single chair.
