Boston Township, Ohio has several things to do for the outdoor enthusiast including a national park, ski resort, township parks, historical buildings, and hiking. The town of Boston, Ohio is interesting on its own terms. The town is in Cuyahoga National Park in Ohio, so there is access to it. However, upon arrival, very real trespassing warnings are posted. Why? Is the town of Boston, Ohio really a Helltown?
THE HISTORY BEHIND BOSTON, OHIO’S HELLTOWN
Historically, Boston, Ohio was founded by Alfred Walcott and a small group of New England followers. While Wolcott had the land surveyed in 1805, trades and deals took place over the next 6 years. In 1811, the township of Boston, Ohio was officially founded.
Since then, there is a real history of river trade and quarries until a flood wiped it out. There is another history, as well. Call it folklore, or urban legend, or fact. But the questionable history gave the ghost-town of Boston the nick-name Hell town, Ohio. The following are groups of plural questions that I would love to see answered about Helltown, Ohio.

Question 1: Were the residents of historical Boston, Ohio religious fanatics that made Satanic sacrifices? Did occult activity continue after they evacuated Helltown? Is there still occult activity in Helltown today?

I have not been to Boston, Ohio. Although I plan to visit Helltown, eventually. When I do, although I am not Catholic (I am Evangelical), I will probably bring some holy water, a rosary, and definitely wear my cross and bring my Bible!
