The Hauntings

The Ramsdell family is said to linger in its former home. Haunted Places records lights and doors behaving unexpectedly, with moaning and chain sounds coming from the basement. Other local stories describe apparitions associated with the Underground Railroad. Correct locality is Ceredo; Haunted Places uses nearby Kenova. Do not confuse with unrelated Ramsdell homes in New England. Underground Railroad interpretations and burial-mound claims have not been historically or archaeologically established here.
