Another Haunted location with many tales and stories! Woodland Cemetery and Arboretum located in Dayton Ohio!
The Legend of Johnny Morehouse! 👦🐶
The story says that in the 1860s, 5-year-old Johnny Morehouse fell into the old Miami & Erie Canal and drowned. His loyal dog reportedly tried to save him but failed. According to the legend, the dog later stayed beside Johnny’s grave for days until it died from grief.
Johnny’s grave became famous because of the haunting statue placed there — a sculpture of the little boy with his faithful dog standing guard over him. Visitors still leave:
* toys
* coins
* dog treats
* stuffed animals
* flowers
at the grave today. If you have any stories about the Woodland Cemetery and Arboretum please leave them below!
