Often when we think of haunted locations we think of the oldest buildings and homes, and all the spirits who have passed through over the years. But looks can be quite deceiving! Some of the oldest looking buildings are quite young. In fact, although the Henry Clay Inn has a very long history, the building we see today wasn’t constructed until 1992. The original, located on land next directly next to it, burned down… twice!

Seeing your doppelgänger is thought to be a sign of your imminent death. These wraiths are often used in horror literature, creating trouble and often representing an internal struggle. Mistaken identity? Trick of the mind? Or did an important historical figure truly meet their own “double goer?”

On this day, 95 years ago, our beloved Town Sergeant, Harry V. Smeeman was found shot in an alleyway. While many have theories as to what happened in 1929, the murder was never solved. Over the years, some have even claimed that Smeeman’s spirit may still linger in the alleyway he was found, or even at the old jail. Perhaps he’s trying to close one last case?

“CALL ME GOD”

Perhaps he wanted to be caught. Or perhaps he thought he was untouchable! This tarot card of Death was found by the southern most victim of the DC Sniper. Fortunately, this victim survived after being shot but it still left a stain here in Ashland.

You can discover more of the darker history, the weird, bizarre and unexpected on Stranger Than Fiction. Departing the Friday and Saturday at 7 pm. 🌀👻

What is it about certain legends that make them common across the country? Everyone knows someone that knows someone that knows it happened…

I grew up with Cry Baby Bridge… but the story was always different from what everyone else heard. Whenever we crossed, my mom warned “it was a stormy night, the car swerved off the road into the lake… everyone died but you can hear the baby cry whenever you cross.” She also added the mermaids took the baby and raised it under the water, but I think that was her own embellishment to soften the shock! Some of the variations are far more gruesome, even including satanic cults and the Goatman!

What commonly heard legends are you familiar with?
