About This Location
Woodlawn Cemetery is a historic burial ground in Toledo, Ohio, established in the 19th century. The cemetery is home to elaborate Victorian monuments and mausoleums, including the striking pyramid marking the grave of John Gunckel, founder of the Toledo Newsboys Association. The 26-foot pyramid weighing an estimated 1,000 tons has become an iconic landmark and popular destination for both history buffs and paranormal investigators.
The Ghost Story
The most famous apparition at Woodlawn Cemetery is the Woman in White, a ghostly figure who creeps around the cemetery gates at night, searching for her lost daughter. She has been seen during both day and night, approaching visitors to ask if they have seen her child. Her desperation is palpable, and her eternal search is heartbreaking to witness. Mysterious photographs have been captured around the Gunckel pyramid, showing strange lights and ghostly figures not visible to the naked eye. The cemetery's Victorian-era atmosphere and elaborate monuments create an appropriately somber setting for its supernatural inhabitants. Visitors report cold spots, the feeling of being followed, and glimpses of figures among the headstones that vanish when approached directly.
