The Unearthing of Miss Arnold: Miss Arnold, a modest young woman, died in the winter of 1823 and was buried under snow at Moxahala Cemetery in Zanesville. Weeks later, her body was discovered missing—stolen from her grave by medical students for dissection. Outrage swept the town, but with no law against body-snatching, the students went unpunished. Miss Arnold’s family and neighbors found no justice, and she never returned home.
They say Miss Arnold’s ghost still wanders the cemetery at night, her bare feet trailing frost, searching for what was taken from her. Even now, locals warn not to visit Moxahala after dark—lest she mistake you for someone trying to unearth her bones again.
