This seemingly quaint building on Canal Street in Canal Fulton is a one-stop shop for practically all of your needs: antiques, collectibles, artwork, hair salon, restaurant and....ghosts.
Built in 1906 along the banks of the old Ohio and Erie Canal, this 3-story building was originally owned by Charles O. Finefrock. Doing business as Finefrock Furniture (which later became C.O. Finefrock Company), he sold and warehoused furniture on the first two floors.
Ever the shrewd businessman, Finefrock later diversified. Beginning around 1916, he ran a mortuary and funeral parlor in the basement. The mortuary continued operations until the 1930's.
For several decades, most of the building, including the attic and basement, were closed to the public. Therefore, little is known about any "unusual" events in the building, especially during the time Finefrock operated it as a furniture dealer and undertaker.
The building was recently acquired by new owners, who rehabbed the place into a specialty shopping mall. They also unsealed the attic and basement.
Since then, reports of ghost sightings and strange occurrences started flooding in.
