On Friday, Oct. 28 at 7 p.m., the Haunted Hocking Investigation Team or “HHIT” team takes travelers on the search for the unexplained. The team of trained "ghost hunters" leads visitors on spine-tingling night hike into the pitch black of Ash Cave, best known for its beautiful, cascading waterfall, paved woodland trail and deep, recess cave. The hemlock-lined trail is notorious for harboring goose bump-inducing spirits, with recent night hikers reporting shadowy apparitions of a woman dressed in 1920's attire, as well as a hand creeping out from under the bridge. Daring ghost hunters should meet at the Ash Cave parking lot.
