Johnny No-Face of Salem, Ohio
This is Egypt Road in Salem, Ohio. Around here, Egypt Road is just another word for HAUNTED. When I was giving the Salem Trolley tours last October, I started hearing stories about a specter called JOHNNY NO-FACE. Many people in the Salem area know this tale, and strangely enough, it may be, at least partially, true. It would seem there was a man who was electrocuted so severely that it burned off his face. For years after the accident, he lived somewhere in the woods along Egypt road and would be seen walking in this area. He finally died a few years back. I am looking for more information about this story that would include his real name and the date of his death, if anyone knows it. Email me at ghosting12@yahoo.com

It is looking like Johnny No-Face is an urban legend for Salem. Thank you for your information. :)

Johnny no face was also called papa john, he was the brother of Anne Logan ( Metts).......he didnt wander around Egypt rd area either.......but on the other side of town, Georgetown rd area. Contact her, im sure she will fill you in on him.
Talk to Anne Logan ( Metts) . Johnny no face was also called papa john. He was her brother. He didnt walk Egypt rd area.....but dif on ther west side.....Georgetown Rd area.
If im correct, i believe he was buried in the paupers cemetary in Salem.
Anne Logan passed away this summer but her daughter Linda, and her grandson, Rick, both can be found at Ricky's English Pub in Salem.
