History: AuGlaize Village is a recreated village restoration project of the Defiance County, Ohio Historical Society. The Village, begun in June 1966, provides a setting typical of rural northwest Ohio in the early part of the nineteenth century. The Village presently consists of 41 new, restored and reconstructed buildings (circa 1860-1920).
The Claims: It is claimed that several of the buildings on the property are haunted, including the school, where it is said a teacher and student still attend classes, a man and woman continues to play the organ in the church, mysterious lights are seen in the lock keepers cabin, and children still roam the two story log home of the Kinner family. Our Findings: We investigated the Village in May 2021. The day was warm starting out at 89° and falling to 70° throughout our investigation. Skies were fair, with very light winds and no precipitation. We started out in the Kieffer cabin, a one-room log home moved from McClure, Ohio to the Village in 1972. Not much history is known about who lived here or the early history of the cabin although it is believed to be the home of a single man named Kieffer. We were one of the first teams to investigate this cabin. While we didn’t expect much, we did catch some unusual light anomalies on the static night vision camera and a couple of unexplained voices. We then moved to the Kinner cabin, a two story log home moved to the Village from Ayersville, Ohio. It is believed the cabin was built in the late 1800s and is said to be the former home of Guy and Ella Kinner and their 7 children. It is claimed that the voices of the children are often heard once the sun goes down. It is also claimed that the apparition of Mrs. Kinner is sometimes seen standing by the fireplace and footsteps are heard. While we were not able to capture any evidence of Mrs. Kinner or the phantom footsteps, we did capture what sounded like voices, including that of a child. From the Kinner cabin, we moved on over to the doctor’s office. This building is claimed to be the former office of Dr. Robert B. Cameron, a Defiance physician. For us, this was the most active building we investigated! We did capture what seemed to be intelligent responses during a spirit box session and our rempod went off several times. We also spent some time in the Vaughn’s Lock Keeper cabin which originally sat along the Miami and Erie canal in Defiance, Ohio. Visitors to the Village claim to see strange lights in the windows of the cabin. We did not capture anything that resembled the lights described by visitors, but we did capture several flashes of light around the building during the day. It is possible these flashes were caused by some sort of insect, however they only occurred for a short time during the day – we did not see these flashes after dark. Is AuGlaize Village haunted? This is not the most active location we have ever investigated, however we were pleasantly surprised by the activity in the doctor’s office. Even if we can’t provide concrete proof that AuGlaize Village is haunted, its history alone is worth the visit! |
