Gretchen's Wood
Columbiana County, Ohioa place of deep woods, meandering creeks, open farmland, and twisting narrow country roads. Its bright there, colorful and beautiful. From the flat farmland in the north to the rolling hills in the south, its picture postcard perfect. Almost. There are also the haunted ruins of a lock and canal system, and the ghost town of Sprucevale. There are legends of Big Foot, and ghosts, and other things that are said to walk the shadowed woods. It wouldnt be so bad if thats all it wasthe mere supernatural. There are other shadows in those woods, shadows of something ancient that lurks there, something as old as time. It waits and watches. It sometimes whispers to the unsuspecting, and on occasion someone stumbles upon it. Fortunately, most dont live to regret it.
