Justice... or something darker? A town’s past forever haunted by a hanging.
In 1825, the quiet village of Somerset became the stage for one of Ohio’s earliest and most chilling executions. David Work was hanged before a massive crowd—his crime and punishment etched into the town’s memory like a scar. But what truly happened that day? Was justice served—or was something more sinister at play?
Legend says David Work cursed the town with his final breath, and ever since, Somerset has been a magnet for misfortune: fires, epidemics, violence, and unrest. Some believe his spirit still lingers... seeking justice, or perhaps revenge.
Join The Ghost Patrol as we uncover the haunting legacy of David Work, tracing his final steps and the dark path Somerset has walked ever since. You’ll step inside the old jail where he spent his last hours—its walls still heavy with the weight of fear and fury—and walk the same historic streets where this grim chapter unfolded.
We’ll explore court records, folklore, and eyewitness accounts, using professional paranormal equipment to investigate locations still rumored to be charged with spiritual energy. The past doesn’t rest easy in Somerset—and neither do its ghosts.
Cosplay encouraged. Dress the part. Just be warned: the spirits might think you're one of them.
