Description
The Mudhouse Mansion used to sit in a remote area in the rolling hills of Lancaster, Ohio. The Second Empire style home was said to have been built sometime in the mid 1800's The mansion was torn down in 2015, some say it was because it was haunted but others say it's because the house was beyond repair.
Like many abandoned properties, it has developed a reputation as a haunted house. Among the legends: after the Civil War a government official still kept slaves, locking them up at night. One night, one of the slaves dug himself free and killed the entire family. Another story sets the mass-murder or mass-suicide (by hanging) of a more recent family there. Still other local yarns assert that the house is the original home of the Bloody Mary of children's lore, and that the house is haunted by a woman who killed her children, or by a woman whose husband killed their children, or by all of the parties involved in the tragedy.
