OHIO — There are several ways to celebrate Valentine's Day — a nice dinner with a significant other or friend, eating a box of chocolates on the couch while watching romantic comedies (crying or not crying) or doing some self-care.

However, for many, Valentine's Day could just be a complete nightmare and they wish to avoid it altogether. 

But there's one way to acknowledge the day that may not cross people's minds: Going to a haunted house. 

This year, a handful of Ohio's haunted houses are giving people the opportunities to enjoy both the horrors and the joy of the holiday. Here's where you can go for lovingly scary time:
