13 Ohio Border Towns With SECRETS Locals Won't Talk About

In 2002 a power company offered to buy nearly every house in Cheshire, Ohio, at about three times what each one was worth. The catch came with the check. Sign, and you agree never to sue over your health. And Cheshire isn't even the worst secret along Ohio's border. I picked thirteen towns along Ohio's edges, from the Ohio River to the Indiana line, the Pennsylvania line and the Lake Erie shore, and ranked them by how hard each secret still is to tell. Near the bottom it's a joke or an old grudge. Near the top it's bones soldiers had to move to make room for their beds, a ship that left an Ohio harbor and was never found, and a death nobody ever answered for. On the list are Ripley, Marietta, College Corner, Antwerp, Portsmouth, Moscow, Sandusky and Johnson's Island, East Liverpool, Gallipolis, Conneaut, Fort Recovery and Cheshire, plus one more town I'm saving for the end. If your family's from an Ohio border town, which one, and what does nobody bring up at Thanksgiving?
