Boston Township in Summit County, Ohio, is known by another name, Helltown, thanks to legends and folklore about so-called hauntings and satanic activity in the area. The township was founded in 1806, and since that time the National Park Service has taken over some abandoned areas through eminent domain. Is any of this actually scary? You be the judge.
