Camden Ohio "The Devil's Backbone" On state route 725 there is a high gorge on a forked road that is called by most " The Devil's Backbone". There are tales of mass sightings of Native American ghosts that haunt the area. It was a place of a great slaughter of Indian Leaders, they were not buried but left laying along the gorge. The relatives of these leaders were afraid to touch the bones for burial because of strange supernatural forces that scared them. There was a mass death of a number of the settlers that came here after the massacre, and it was also believed to be cursed by Chief Red Turtle as he was driven from his land.

Fudge Road- There is a bridge on Fudge Road where a distraught woman hung herself after her infant died. The legend says that if you park on the bridge when everything is quiet, and you say " Mama" three times then you will see the woman and hear the infant crying.

Fort St. Clair- This town is haunted by two apparitions one is a Soldier that people refer to as "bloody bones" I do not know if this is because he appears that way or not, and the other is an Indian who is seen dancing below a graveyard near the ravine.

Brubaker Covered Bridge- A terrible accident occurred here in the 1930's. A group of teenagers had an accident on the bridge flipping the car many times and bodies were hurled everywhere, at first count it was a tentative 12. A Farmer and his wife came upon the accident and attempted to help, the scene was very disturbing. After the bodies were collected and family's notified it was noticed that a boy was missing and after several days of searching his body never found. Since the accident numerous people including the farmer and his wife had the same incident while driving over the bridge. While driving across the bridge your car will stall, and then there is a sound like air rushing by you real fast, and then a tapping on your windshield.
