On today’s episode, we explore two tragic locations that form the heart of Ohio’s greatest legend: the Gore Orphanage and the Collinwood School Fire. First, we take a deep dive into the story of the Gore Orphanage, an eerie site nestled in the woods of rural Ohio. The orphanage was the scene of countless untold horrors, with tragic fires, mysterious deaths, and reports of paranormal activity. Many believe the spirits of the children who perished there still haunt the land, making it one of the most notorious haunted locations in the state. Next, we recount the devastating Collinwood School Fire, a horrific tragedy that occurred in 1908 in Cleveland. A fire broke out during school hours, claiming the lives of 172 children and teachers. The disaster shocked the community and left a permanent scar in Ohio’s history. These two locations, both marked by immense loss and tragedy, have become part of the dark folklore that continues to haunt Ohio to this day. On this episode, we delve into the stories, the legends, and the mysteries that surround these infamous sites, exploring how they’ve contributed to Ohio’s most enduring ghost stories.

Gore Orphanage info    

    The real name of the Orphanage was the Light of Hope (also referred to as the Light and Hope). It was built by the Reverend John A. Sprunger and his wife in 1903 after their orphanage located in Bern, Indiana was destroyed by fire in 1899. Three orphan girls were reported to have died in that fire. The name Gore Orphanage was adopted by young thrill seekers over the years because it apparently fired their collective imaginations of murder and mayhem at Sprunger's home for orphans. The belief is/was that the word "gore" was referring to that of a bloody wound. Thus it amplified, and seemed to substantiate, the ever evolving horror story about the place. But in fact the word actually referred to a topographical description of the land running the length of the road in Lorain County, Ohio where it is located. In brief, it was simply a triangular piece of land (hence the name "gore"). Prior to the orphanage being established along the road it was called Gore Road.

The Collinwood Fire

On 4 March 1908, a tragedy occurred that prompted changes in school safety across the United States. About nine o'clock in the morning on March 4, 1908, nine-year-old Niles Thompson jumped out of a window at Lakeview Elementary to escape a fire that had started in the basement of his school. Nearly two hundred children who had also been lucky enough to escape watched as flames engulfed the Collinwood school. Niles frantically ran among his schoolmates, searching for his little brother, Thomas. Once Niles realized his brother was not one of the safe children, he ran back into the school to save Thomas. Neither of the two Thompson boys walked out of their school again.

Niles and Thomas Thompson were among the 172 children and two teachers who were trapped inside the school and died in the fire. Nineteen of these children could not be identified. That weekend, the entire Collinwood community mourned for those lost. According to Cleveland's Plain Dealer, "The village seemed to be one vast procession of hearses and carriages. . . . Scarcely did one funeral carriage pass before another came into sight wending its way with its sorrowful burden to the burying grounds. . . . Those who had no dead to mourn stood on the streets watching the grim procession as they passed. There was scarcely a dry eye in Collinwood." The following Monday, memorial and funeral services were held at Lake View Cemetery for all the victims of the Collinwood school fire. Businesses in the Collinwood neighborhood were closed for the day out of respect for the dead and their families. Lakeview Elementary children that survived served as pallbearers and other Cleveland school children made memorials in the shape of flowers.
