Woodlawn Cemetery Haunting

          In Dayton, Ohio, sits Woodlawn Cemetery. This cemetery is not only a graveyard, it also has nice woodsy paths next to Goose Lake. Visitors have said they've spotted a figure in those trees. The ghost that haunts the cemetery is not your average "Lady in White." instead of the typical woman in a white dress, she wears jeans, sneakers, a red shirt, and a blue jacket around her waist. Another ghost said to haunt the cemetery is a little boy and his dog. Their story is that they both drowned in a nearby river.
          The "E" in this story I found is Education because this adds onto the list of stories of haunted cemeteries i think we all can be interested in.

Sinclair Community College Haunting

          Yes, even Sinclair itself is haunted. I have made sure to check a few different sources to see if it checks out. The hauntings are at the location over in Dayton, in a few different buildings. People have mentioned being grabbed or shoved by presences, hearing laughter or footsteps when no one else is around. Some have also heard meowing coming from the walls or saw a ghost of an older guy with white hair, now nicknames Mr. Joshua. There have also been sightings of the former head of security's ghost. Also, the cafeteria was constructed over the old Hanging Field.
          The particular "E" that I found in this haunting was Education. I believe this story provides interesting information about our school and its location's history.

The Lady in White - Trebein Road Hauning

          This particular ghost story interested me because this is less than 15 minutes from where I live. Trebein Road is a road between Fairborn and Xenia. The legend is that years ago, this bride was late for her wedding so once she as ready she and her father went out for the ceremony. Thing is, since they were in a hurry, their carriage was going too fast along Trebein,which was only a dirt road then. The wheel hit a large rock and she flew out of the carriage. when she hit the ground she died instantly. It is now said that in the middle of August every year around midnight she haunts part of the road. If you stop and see The Lady in White, she'll ask you if you've seen her husband. But be careful. It's said that if she touches you then you will become old and she will become beautiful again. I warn anyone not to go looking for her.
          The particular E that I found in this article is Emotion. This article made me curious to find out a little about a local legend. This also made me a little scared because of how close this legend is to home. 
          I researched different sources to confirm the story. One source was a witness account found at https://www.ohioexploration.com/paranormal/stories/story-trebeinroad/
