Most of us come to Hocking Hills, Ohio’s most treasured park, for its rugged beauty.  With scenes unlike anywhere else in the state, newcomers are often stunned by towering rock formations and plunging waterfalls.  It’s no wonder this place draws so many year after year.

One lesser known landmark off the beaten path has intrigued and terrified locals for more than a century.  Death Hole, a deceivingly peaceful spot on Scott’s Creek in Logan, has laid claim to unsuspecting victims for more than a century.  

It’s said the spirits of those who died here, linger.  Some have spotted the misty shape of a woman standing on the bank, gazing at the calm, still water where she once drowned.  It seems the echoes of that terrible day are yet heard by those who come to visit.  

Come hear the history behind the legend, the truth of one tragedy that occurred in August, 1877.  Come hear the personal account of one local woman, Ashley Strong, who offers personal insight into this enigmatic and mystical place off Highway 93.
