About Mark H. Roe
I’m Mark H. Roe — a retired Corrections Supervisor turned writer and researcher, based in Chillicothe, Ohio. My work uncovers the strange, the forgotten, and the unsettling, weaving together local history, true crime, and paranormal lore with persistence, wit, and a storyteller’s eye for atmosphere.
I don’t just write about mysteries — I go looking for them. You’ll find me walking the streets, combing through archives, and stepping into places where the past still lingers. Every book I publish is part investigation, part preservation, and part storytelling — a way to keep alive the whispers passed down through families, the rumors tucked into backrooms, and the secrets buried in old records.
My guiding philosophy is simple: Books live forever, but spoken word disappears. That belief drives me to capture stories before they fade, building a catalog that connects readers to the eerie, the curious, and the unforgettable.
