Ohio isn't always the warmest of states.
From uncanny covered bridges to lizard men, there are certain tales within this state that leave you wondering why and how and many other things.
Lizard Man
Along the Miami River, near Loveland, legend has it that there lurks a man who looks a lot like a lizard—or a lizard who looks a lot like a man, depending on how you look at it, of course. In the 1970s, local residents and policemen reported sightings of a strange lizard or frog-like man. Throughout the years, occasional sightings along the river have been reported.
Hell Town
The area known as Hell Town today was once known as Boston Mills, before the town was bought out by the US government to make way for Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The once thriving town eventually turned into a ghost town. Today, some people claim that the government actually closed the town after some sort of chemical accident that caused the citizens to mutate—and some people claim to have actually seen disfigured, mutated people still hiding in the area. Legend has it there is also a decaying church with an upside down cross within the abandoned town that was once (and possibly sill) used for satanic worship.
Cry Baby Bridge
Located in Fremont, this bridge is supposedly the site where an unwed mother threw her unwanted baby from the bridge. People have reported hearing the baby's cries at night and sightings of the guilt-ridden ghost mother searching for her child.
