Jaite Paper Mill
Highland Road, Sagamore Hills Township
Built in 1906 by Charles Jaite, this mill was in use until 1984 under this and several other names. I have heard tales of this place being haunted, and there is at least one documented account of a death in the building: a worker killed while operating part of the fourdrinier machine. Over a year ago, a friend and I checked out the building. I will admit, it is a very eerie location, though I did sense a few spots that could have some activity. In one room where old records were scattered all over the floor, I was overcome with nausea and weakness for a few seconds.
An arson fire destroyed parts of the building some time around 1992. Toxic chemicals remained on the premises for years afterward. The entire mill was demolished by the National Park Service in the spring of 2007. Only the fourdrinier machine remains to this day.
In 1985, several scale plans were drawn of the building by the Historic American Engineering Record. To view a full map of the paper mill, click the link below:

Photos
This photo was taken quite some time ago by me in the boiler room of the building using a 35mm camera. Of the few photos I took, this one seems to be the only unusual one. There is a bluish mist at the top of the photo. No one was smoking at the time.
