PIKE TWP. — Four teenagers on a ghosthunting mission were charged with trespassing at a local cemetery early Thursday, Sept. 10, according to a sheriff’s report.

Deputies responded to a complaint of a strange vehicle at Black Cemetery, 3300 North Dayton-Lakeview Road around 3 a.m. Thursday, according to the report.

Authorities found four teenage males leaving the cemetery. The boys told deputies that they’d seen videos on the Internet claiming that Black Cemetery was haunted, and had come there to hunt ghosts, according to the report.

The following 18-year-old boys were arrested on charges of criminal trespassing:

• Daniel R. Fugate, 2647 Sunset Drive.

• Andrew L. Stultz, 3320 Laura Lane.

• Shane M. Dixon, 1425 Seminole Drive.

• Spencer C. Assani, 2180 Seminole Drive.
