The Akron Area Museum, formerly the home of the Ross Family is haunted some say by the Materiach, Mrs. Lucille Ross. The 100% volunteer staffed museum has had many members experience cold drafts, noises and a feeling of a presence around the main stairway and formal dining room in the former Ross home. One voluteer claims he felt a hand pushing him from behind as he was about to go from the third to second floor.
Tours of the Museum are available upon request. For additional information, please contact board President Rodney Anderson or Vice President Angela Price.

my son n his family lived there when the house was apartments, when I would visit, I always felt odd,a strange chill.
My great grandma is Lucille Ross and I was told by my mom and my dad that it was haunted before she passed by some guy… I think his name started with a D.. I can’t remember but when I visited two summers ago I got really sick in the room thats full of the army stuff.
