The story of Griffith J. Griffith (who the park is named for) is also pretty crazy...

The domes aren't mysterious. They were a gimmick built in 1982 for a computer hardware business that never winded up getting off the ground.

#1 there is a national park there, Cuyahoga, just took some time to be made, like everything else in government

For my job I go through abandoned buildings prior to demo, most of them are prison /psychiatric hospitals that shut down in the 60s. Scary
CurlySwede
1 and 3 aren't the least amount of scary, just two abandoned projects.
ermahgerdshoez
Eh there’s some weird shit that goes on down in those abandon subways-mostly drugs...there are a few parts open for some tours though!
ermahgerdshoez
Also Norris Lake, TN is a huge man-made lake where the government bought out many small towns in the valleys and then flooded it. Not creepy
ermahgerdshoez
But still weird considering it’s now a recreational playground for boaters etc.

For the twin birth rate one, it's almost as though twinning can be related to genetics.

According to wikipedia, 17 pairs of twins were among the settlement's founders. Who then did a whole lot of inbreeding because of isolation.

Wow, that's crazy. If only we had studied the course of genetics and their part in the production of things in the body.

local population (from a particular German region also known for higher-than-average twin rate) seems a clear candidate. "Locals say…" (2/3)

No, some randoms have said. A local guy debunked it; the high rate predates Mengele's move to South America. (3/3)

Boi, The Subway system is nowhere close to the most haunted place in Cincinnati, Satan's Hollow has that honor.

Ooooh What's that?
SomeWhiteKid
A ex-drainage system used by Satanists to do cult shit, supposedly summoned Satan. You can prob Google it and get vids.

I imagine being summoned into a former Cincinnati drainage system was pretty disappointing for Satan.

I read that, at the suicide bridge, dogs have been reported to leap to their death, only to survive the fall then climb back up and...

HallandOaters
JOHN CENA!!!
Eowyneb
It has been proven it is because dogs can't tell how far off to the ground it is and there is a lot of wildlife down the bridge
taodelasoul
Suicide pack
IrishinScotland
The dogs actually jump because when on the bridge at a dog's eye level, it looks like it's merely a wall with land on the other side.
Predicto
hush you, with your logical explanations and all. You're killing the vibe
SomeGuyWhoSaysStuff
You'd think that they would put a fence up on that bridge to prevent people from jumping if it was true.
FuriousFart
Bubblewrap the suicidal people, that'll teach 'em

I saw a vid of an interview with a local who said that he saw someone beckoning him from below, and claimed the dogs were encouraged to jump

That's cool, but there are no human suicides recorded here and only one dog death, euthanized due to injury.

Around where I am I think all the arsenic is a deterrent.
arumunus
Genuinely curious and concerned now. Where did the arsenic come from and why?
MoaConstrictor
Bit of dodgy gold mining in the '50s covered the whole area with arsenic dust before there were regulations about that sort of thing.
arumunus
Holy crap.. May I know the area? Genuinely interested in looking up that story.

It's not actually all that exciting, in my haste to paraphrase I maybe overhyped it, so sorry about that, but read up on Giant Mine for more

You think there might be more than one person on here???
TraitorousTrump3
The Domes aren’t haunted. They know why they were built. 10 seconds on google gives you the answer: a computer chip factory.

The explanation is simple here. The internet: lots of different people with different beliefs and opinions.

Dude, chill out, its just fun to think about. Stop taking it so literal.

You should check out “Huff Paranormal” on YouTube. May not agree with some of his personal ideologies, but his work is quite interesting.

Also there is a psychological phenomenon that humans have to create unease in potentially dangerous situations. Abandoned places or 1/2

I personally believe in ghosts. Just because fuck you i aint dealing with anything like that. Nope. Just gonna walk the other way.
TanstaaflTovarisch
It's fun to think about paranormal stuff. There are actually pictures of earth from space though...spoiler alert: It's round.
Brainlard
I think you misunderstood. Most humans enjoy their mystical tales, nevertheless I find both flat-earthers and ghostbusterd equally retarded.
MultiplePersonalitiesProfile
The amount of downvotes you’re getting says we have a lot of people who make fun of flatearthers while believing in host stories. WTF?
textilelover
Believing in ghosts is not the same as being eager to test things. Some things still need answers, the shape of the earth isn't 1 of them.
MultiplePersonalitiesProfile
A few centuries ago the same argument would be made, except rain would be used as “something that Science can’t explain”
TanstaaflTovarisch
I do not. I think the idea of an earth with no mysteries is a sad thing. Whether the earth is round is not debatable.
MarvinTheMartiansDog
Exactly the earth is round that is fact but there are certain things science can't always explain a lot of paranormal stuff is staged, but >
MarvinTheMartiansDog
there is always that needle in the haystack that defies all logic and explanation. That can be neither proved or disproved.
Gosuamakenatek
Yeah, those aren't the same thing, we can prove the earth is round, we can't prove ghosts don't exist, we can only pose alternate theories.
fencer1964
How about, “...and there hasn’t been any scientifically supportable evidence of ghosts, ever?”
Matsuuu
Ghosts are used to explain phenomenas that are real. https://gizmodo.com/10-scientific-explanations-for-famous-ghostly-phenomena-1655680348
textilelover
Until recently fairly we couldn't prove bacteria were real. Not saying ghosts real, but maybe we lack the equipment to find them. Just sayin
textilelover
That being said I am a confirmed skeptic and will need a MOUNTAIN of evidence with no other supportable theories before i believe in ghosts.
Gosuamakenatek
Are you intentionally missing my point? Lacking evidence of a theory is not the same as having hard evidence that it's not true.
fencer1964
It is logically impossible to prove a negative. Either there is verifiable, non-spooky, non-anecdotal evidence, or it’s not a thing.
Gosuamakenatek
Yes, but it is possible to prove the earth is round. Do you get my point yet or do we have to start from the beginning?
roadfoolmc
Burden of proof fallacy. We dont need to prove they dont exist lol

Gosuamakenatek
But you still can't, you CAN however prove that the earth is round, and that's why they are not the same thing.

Not saying they're the same thing.... just saying it's silly to say something exists because you can't prove it doesn't.

Until you can prove what is or isn't actually causing an effect, you should test every hypothesis.
