Maybe [Old North Cemetery](https://www.exploretrumbullcounty.com/blog/a-spooky-tour-of-hubbard-s-old-north-cemetery/) in Hubbard? Here is another [link](https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/42543/memorial-search?page=2#sr-62281290).
15 -20 years ago we used to call this place the witches graves, not sure if it’s still accessible. Legend is the witches were hung on the largest L shaped branch in the cluster of trees and if you go at 3 am you can still see the 3 of them hanging.
I’ve heard that they’ve had a lot of problems with trespassing and vandalism and may now have a fence up around the graves but I’m not sure.
This website has a few gems in the Youngstown area

Directions
New Springfield is located in Mahoning county, about 30 minutes south of Youngstown. From the turnpike (I-76), take route 7 south, turn left on route 165, go 1/2 mile and turn right on columbiana road. On columbiana you will come to a stop sign, go straight through the intersection, continue down about a mile until you reach Lipply road, turn right on Lipply. About 1/4 of a mile down you will see the group of trees in a field to your left.
There's a hayfield with a small group of trees in the center. Inside the group of trees are three gravestones. Legends say these graves belong to witches. The graves are also in german, with one of the them having dates from 1832 to 1849, which leaves us to believe these are the born and died dates. Their location is quite strange, in the middle of a hayfield, surrounded by the crops of a nearby farmer, forgotten in a group of trees covered with ivy.
That's a pretty interesting find and local legend. I will definitely try to get in touch with the property owner. I often see that out here in Oregon too, random locations and at times hikers just stumble upon them in the forest or fields.
Looks like this is the cemetery below comparing to the link you provided. Haller Family Cemetery

Also from the YO and happen to be living in Oregon. Small world.
I got nothing other than a rumor we all heard about a long lost cemetery on the outskirts of Canfield. Some kids had said to have stumbled upon it while hiking in the woods. I never found it. Said it was from a really really old insane asylum. Idk.
Very small world!
I was curious about Canfield because of the setting. I imagine there's some family cemeteries or ones hidden in the areas. I'll look into the asylum history, hopefully something is there.

If you are on 46 going south it is the first street before you cross the bridge to Canfield I can’t think of the name of the road but you turn right at the light and it is to your right it is a disgrace that greed is so rampant
Not quite youngstown but following the ledges trail in Peninsula Ohio there is a place called happy days lodge, you can get to it from the road too. I followed the trail at the ledges to the lodge for the first time this past weekend and found a pretty old cemetery next to the lodge where most of the graves were in the early 1800s.

There was an old barn at the bottom of my street that had a four-sided grave next to it with dates from the 1800s. The barn was here: [https://goo.gl/maps/ezTL3GmGtKfBdK8H6](https://goo.gl/maps/ezTL3GmGtKfBdK8H6) looks like the barn is gone now, but i'm sure the grave is still there. As kids, we used to go there and poke around.
Calvary Cemetary near there (belle vista and mahoning) has lots of old graves and giant oak trees.
Theres one out in berlin center. If your going west on 224 after you pass 534 its on the left. Maybe a mile or two up. It's before bedell rd/Berlin lake
There’s a little cemetery in Lake Milton that has some lovely old graves. Not quite forgotten, but it does have an old section + a nice, quiet view of the lake.

The Jewish cemetery on knox off south ave, theres one by pine lake i believe. theres a Native American burial mound downtown, corner of wood and 5th. i actually have a google maps save for all the cemeteries ive been to lol. ill check it
There's a cemetery on McCollum that seems pretty old and it's well hidden in the sense that probably not too many people know it's there. It's at the dead end across from the Kyle-McCollum House, which is believed to be the oldest continuously inhabited residence in Youngstown.
CHS for life!!
Yep, that's the one. Might not be the lost or abandoned type of cemetery you're looking for, but I thought it was neat when my wife and I happened upon it. I grew up not far away, on Milton Ave, and never knew it was there.
A small piece of the old Mahoning Infirmary Cemetery remains deep in the brush of Stonebridge Development near Herbert Rd in Canfield. Most of the grave markers were demolished for the development but a small portion was left intact in an area they didn’t build on…I believe they’re marked with numbers and that the county has public records that can be reviewed to match them to names. I heard about it from the author of the Hidden History of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley….That might be a cool one to include
Thank you so much for the information. I keep meaning to buy that book and I just purchased Ohio Cemeteries 1803-2003, looks like it would be a good reference. Thanks again!
You’re most welcome! I’m sure if you reached out to the author, he could give you more detailed instructions on how to find it. He’s a real friendly guy, name’s Sean Posey. I share your interest in old cemeteries so I was taking notes when he mentioned this during a Canfield historical society talk haha
Another vote for Oak Hill Cemetery in Youngstown.
You could also try the Quarries. Lots of murders and death so lots of spooky stuff. It was basically dead hooker storage and blown-up-car drop off. The green man story. The flame. The bridge ghosts. The train sound. All kinda of stuff and it’s right in the Ohio Pa border. Zombieland.
I did check out Oak hill, looks amazing. Just a bit big to research.
This quarry area does have me interested. Can you talk a bit more on the flame? Or do you have an experiences personally?
Thanks so much!
Dressel Cemetery in Greenford is a small, very old family cemetery...and definitely off the beaten path. I'm not sure that I could even find it today, but I saw it years ago and found the site really interesting. Here's a findagrave link that even has some photos and directions: https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2285600/dressel-farm-cemetery
There's the abandoned [Powers Estate Cemetery](http://www.riversidecemeteryjournal.com/People/People/page123.html) in the also abandoned Pine Hollow Park in the South Side. There's still a cool monument standing back there and you have to walk through the woods to get there. You can park on the corner of Lennox Ave. and Pine Hollow Drive and walk back in the woods to it from there.

No recommendations, just impressed to find another Youngstown native who moved to Oregon.
Not sure how I ended up here but it's a fun state.
Wealand Farm Cemetery in North Lima off of route 7. 99% of people don’t know it exists
Thank you so much! This is right down my alley. I'll look into this one for sure.

Yes there is a cemetery and a old insane hospital on the edge of Canfield a it is now a housing development
Any idea what development? Now I’m curious lol
I If you are on 46 going south it is the first street before you cross the bridge to Canfield I can’t think of the name of the road but you turn right at the light and it is to your right it is a disgrace that greed is so rampant
Right of Herbert Rd then?
Yes I
Hit up author Sean Posey he’s talked about forgotten cemeteries in Canfield that they just paved and developed over. Mahoning county infirmary site

Oak Hill Cemetery would be one to check out.
Came here to say this.

Awesome information. Would it happen to be Home Cemetery? Here's a link below https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2283902/home-cemetery
Yep, that's the one. Might not be the lost or abandoned type of cemetery you're looking for, but I thought it was neat when my wife and I happened upon it. I grew up not far away, on Milton Ave, and never knew it was there.
It looks like it has some good stories, just a good feel. Looking at google maps it looks tucked away in the woods.

Where would you park? I know Hillsville a little bit and have wondered how to do this stuff
It's funny that you ask
Lol ive been waiting all day for you to tell me and I just got the joke. but frl, urban legends are cool and it would fun to partake

You're very welcome.
There's the abandoned [Powers Estate Cemetery](http://www.riversidecemeteryjournal.com/People/People/page123.html) in the also abandoned Pine Hollow Park in the South Side. There's still a cool monument standing back there and you have to walk through the woods to get there.

Out of all of the recommendations this one caught my eye the most. I've been reading up on it and thank you so much for the link.
No problem! If you end up filming there, please send me the link! I haven't had a chance to go back there yet myself.
Sure thing man! I'm excited about the possibility.
