The story goes [that] there\u2019s a farm\u2026which is a little bit north of the camp, and a couple lived there, and the wife\u2019s name was Haddie. And one day the neighbors stopped by because they hadn\u2019t heard from either Haddie or her husband for a few days, so they stopped by and they found her body but no head. The head had been chopped off. And the husband was never found. And so she haunts the camp and the area around there.<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>However, the origin of the Headless Haddie\u00a0legend is nearly as interesting as the legend itself.<\/p>\n<p>To read more about Headless Haddie, pick up a copy of <span style=\"color: #ed1e24;\"><em><a title=\"Haunted Marion, Ohio\" href=\"http:\/\/www.spookymarion.com\/?page_id=554\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #ed1e24;\">Haunted Marion, Ohio<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/span>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever heard of Headless Haddie?
