Fallsville, Ohio was a small town in Highland County in existence from 1848 to 1893.[1]

The area was first settled in the mid-1820s by farmers Simon and Elizabeth Clouser.[1] They built a grist mill which, as it was the only mill in the immediate vicinity, became successful.[1] Around this additional mills were built, as well as stores and a quary.[2] A town was platted in 1848 by John Timberlake with three streets and eight residences in place.[1] Fallsville was sufficiently socially active to have its own literary society.[2] Although a fanciful 1872 column forecast a bright future for the town, Fallsville failed to attract a railroad, and planned-for growth never occurred.[1] A Methodist Church was built in 1891, but the town's last resident died two years later in 1893.[1][3]

As of 2018 some residential foundations remained, as well as a rusted water tank for the town's horses.[1] As a ghost town, the location has attained a reputation for paranormal activity involving Native Americans, hidden treasure, and descendants of the superstitious Clouser family.[2][4][5]
