Near the town of Vermillion, Ohio sits an area known as Swift's Hollow. It is home to a number of ghastly ghost tales, the majority of which center around the tragic death of over 100 children as the old Orphanage burned.

Like most urban legends, the tale is mostly false. Unfortunately, the real history of the area may be even worse than the legend.
