Haunting Skies at the “Ridges” in Athens,Ohio

HAUNTED SKIES,LANCASTER OHIO,THE RIDGES,KENNEDY MUSEUM,ATHENS COUNTY,SPOOKY……………………………………….

I spent a day at the Ridges in Athens,Ohio. First, I toured the Kennedy Museum (CLICK) then on to the haunted and boarded up old TB hospital. Lastly, a leisurely stroll thru the cemetery. I felt “spooked” for a week after that walk. Enough from me here are my skies for SkyWatch Friday.

Terrific, fascinating post and photos, Joe! There is indeed a haunted air about the place. Lots of grief, fear, sickness seems embedded in the walls! How blessed we are not to have lived then! Have a great weekend!

Joe I went there when it was still open to visit a patient and it gave me the creeps then so I would really be freaked out going now. LOL! You have been on a good spook hunt lately.
I have never grown Calla lilies from seed before. You will have to keep me updated on them.
Did you get any snow there? We got five new inches today. That is enough and I am all over it now.Old Mans Cave looks pretty though with the snow and ice.
I want to wish you and Linda a Wonderful Christmas.

The skies are very pretty and blue
! The hospital reminds me that the good old days definitely weren't always so good.
