Hellfire, Ohio, USA

Last Updated: November 23, 2025

The fictional town of Hellfire, Ohio is located in north central Ohio along the southern shores of Lake Erie and was founded in 1801 by supernatural beings and humans.

Hellfire was a nickname that stuck after the original settlement burned to the ground during a mysterious firestorm in 1790.

Strange mists frequently roll in from the lake, covering the city in fog that leaves its locals and tourists alike with a feeling that they’re not alone.

The shoreline has long been believed to be haunted by many spirits, some friendly, some angry. Boats are known to vanish without a trace, and the thousands of shipwrecks beneath the lake’s shallow surface.

Supernatural energy and thin veils make Hellfire a sought-after destination for ghost hunters, paranormal investigators and researchers, and skeptics looking for proof of something otherworldly.
