I'm also from a small Ohio town, and this isn't that uncommon a rumor (the underground bunker thing, not the secret army thing). With Wright-Patterson airforce base hosting the Air Force's north american command a lot Ohio was high on the Soviets nuke list. My town has several fallout shelters under public buildings, including a multilevel one under the middle school downtown. They have all the lower levels locked up now, but there were several storage rooms in the basement that comprised the top of the shelter that still has a bunch of civil defense supply canisters that I've seen. I've also heard lots of rumors of my county being on some sort of special list along with other Ohio counties during the cold war where the government would track the movement of people immigrating there from other countries. I always wanted to get into one of the bunkers and check it out, or at least find some plans about them, the ones in my town are supposed to be connected and have a lot of levels.
A lot of my friends did tech crew for the musicals my high school performed at the large auditorium at the middle school and we used to have the run of the place during during rehersal and build week. We checked out a lot of the easy to get into places, but its a huge building. Spooky as hell at night too, had a lot of fun times exploring trapdoors and steam tunnels under the stage, but we never made it down to the fallout shelter.
