TROY -- The owners of a historic Bethel Twp. grist mill are challenging dismissal of their lawsuit against those behind the book, "Weird Ohio" and the book's claim the Staley Mill property is haunted.

Melissa Duer, representing the Staley Mill property and family trusts, filed suit in Miami County Common Pleas Court against the "Weird Ohio" authors and Andrew Henderson of Columbus, who operates the forgottenohio.com web site. She claimed the book and Web site published false tales about the property being haunted and turned her life into a nightmare.
