"Ghost Hollow" is a name given to a rural section of Portage County near Rootstown by railroad workers. There used to be a pond in this area where a boy named Chapman drowned. They filled the pond in, but the boy's ghost continued to haunt the area. Train conductors dreaded having their train stop for any reason in Ghost Hollow.
The Hollow surrounds the railroad tracks (currently Conrail) which run between Rootstown and Atwater, at the place where they cross Industry Road.
