Lancaster, Ohio - Mudhouse Mansion - Haunted by Slaves and Slaveowners. Mudhouse Mansion is one of Lancaster’s most famous abandoned places. It was built sometime between 1840-1850. In 1919 the property was sold to Henry and Martha Hartman. Henry Hartman died in 1930 and the property was inherited by Lulu Hartman-Mast, his daughter. Her descendants still own the land, Mudhouse Mansion is supposedly one of the most haunted houses in America. The most popular story goes that a government official who lived there after the Civil War still kept slaves. He was very cruel to them and would lock them up in one of the outbuildings every night. One slave was fed up with the cruel treatment, so one night he dug his way out, entered the house, and murdered the entire family. It is rumoured the family and the slaves who lived there haunt the house to this day. -- source link
