Gore Orphanage is the subject of a local legend in Northern Ohio, which refers to a supposedly haunted ruin near the city of Vermilion in Lorain County, Ohio. The ruin is a building that formerly housed the Swift Mansion and, later, the Light of Hope Orphanage, and is the subject of local urban legends, whereby the violent deaths of young adults and children are alleged to have occurred. According to the urban legends, supernatural activity has occurred in the building since its closure.[1][2]
Though historians have concluded that Gore Orphanage itself never existed, the Vermilion Chamber of Commerce has confirmed the existence of said orphanage, and discusses both the legend and truth of the orphanage.[3] The legend claims that in the 1800s Vermilion, Ohio, a fire was set which killed many children and one woman, whose ghosts now haunt the ruins. Historians also have determined that Gore Orphanage is the name of a road, not a building, and many unrelated people, places, and events simply have been combined into a ghost story.[4][5]
