Anderson
Gruenwald
Historic House - On
a full moon there is a lot of ghost activity here.
Lindberg Rd. - On Lindberg rd. down towards Alex Pike. There is a supposed haunted house. It has a partially caved in roof. Neighbors say they have heard strange hiss-like sounds coming from the house. Me and a friend have broken into it before and we did a little research. Supposedly the house was caught on fire close to 20 years ago with the family still in it. All of them escaped except for the middle son, whom supposedly haunts the house. The floor caves in, in many areas of the house and there's ashes all over the place. Supposedly no body was ever found of the boy. Few eye witnesses have supposedly seen a ghost like chandelier hanging even when part of the ceiling is missing. Typical paranormal activity happens such as moving old lamps and such. The biggest spook is that when the wind blows, it will draw pictures in the ashes of a family and house. All the people you can see but the middle sons picture has a hand print over it instead of being drawn.
Old Anderson High School - the haunting is in two different places but due to the fire that happened there the older half is no longer there. In the basement of the gym you can hear screams of a young girl there due to the fact she was raped and killed there. The other part was on the second story of the older part of the high school. Ghost's have been seen and have been known to throw items when you refuse to leave.
Angola
Circle Hill Cemetery - people have seen very tall black hooded figures in there and most visitors are too scared to go back.

see a man with a long red beard pacing on the top of the building. You will
also, if you are very quiet, you will hear his screeching voice say. "Marie
please come back to me, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!"
he sobs and he sobs. He is known as the movie man. And if you go and sit to
watch a movie you will hear a sobbing man, but there won’t be anyone sitting
behind you, just rows of seats, and maybe a red bearded man.
Attica
Haunted Hotel -
you can see lights music and see people in the woods. Ghosts scratch your back and they push you down the

Barbee
The
Barbee Hotel - The
Barbee Hotel was considered a very high-class resort during Al Capone's time. He
stayed in the hotel frequently, often clearing out all the guests so he could
stay in seclusion. He always stayed in room 301 at the back of the hotel. When
cleaning the rooms employees have smelled cigar smoke
and when investigated it is coming from room 301. The bartender who has worked
there for years has seen an old man sitting at one of the booths on several
occasions. When she goes to get someone, he is gone. People have reported
hearing footsteps on the stairs, and in the halls above the dining area. Many
parties when taking their picture will line up on the stairs. There are several
pictures on the wall where you can see orbs of light in the background behind
the group. Many other celebrities stayed there as well. Rita Hayworth was said
to go and stay in her room for days at a time. When you drive by the area of the
hotel she stayed in late at night sometimes you can see a faint light.

to on Greenville Pike. At the stop sign turn right at the first gravel road turn
left, go past the bridge turn around and go back over the bridge. When
you get over the bridge wait a few seconds and the turn around. Don’t
drive to fast or to slow but you can see a man on a horse without a head. The
farther you get from the bridge the close it gets to you. It soon disappears.
Bass
Lake
Bass Lake Cemetery - there is a certain headstone that you go to at night. Surrounding the grave is this thick bladed grass, the grass is blood red during the evening. If you break off a piece it is that color all the way through, however it's not like that during the day. If you hold a lighter under the picture the mans face changes, to resemble that of the devil, he grows a beard, and flames flicker around him, for some people he even begins a mute laughing. When you hold up a flashlight the picture doesn't change like it did for the lighter and it doesn't work during the day. There is also said to be a beast that resembles a Werewolf that charges at cars.

If you get out of your car and scream bloody murder into the night sky he will track you down and drag your body into his domain where you will be eaten bones and all.

Brazil
100 Step Cemetery
- At midnight, if you walk up the stairs on the grassy side of the cemetery, there are graves dating back to the 1860s all around. On one's way up you count the steps. When you reach the top, you must turn toward the open field and the ghost of the cemetery's first undertaker will appear. Without saying anything he will reveal the climbers own death to them in a vision. The hiker MUST proceed down the steps, counting them again. If they do not get the same number as they counted before then they will die the way they saw but if they do the vision was wrong. If anyone dares to try to reach the top or level ground by not using the steps, they will be pushed to the ground by a phantom hand which will leave a red imprint on the persons back for several days so those who see it can see the mark of the
Devil. Another version goes like this, Carpenter's Cemetery lies just west of 340 and US 40 on CR 675. Locally it is better known as 100 steps. Legend has it that, on the darkest nights when you can't see your hand in front of you, you can walk up the broken steps of this cemetery and count 100 steps. As you walk down, you can count only 99. Its a hard trick to do when there are only 60 or so steps there any other time. The night must be total and you must not be able to see where you step. Legend tells of those trying to walk beside the steps on the ground and of people being knocked down hard to the ground with handprints appearing on their chest. The legend continues that if you are able to safely navigate the steps in the pitch of darkness and make the magical count, then that night before the rise of the sun, the spirit of the original caretaker will make known to you the manner of your death.
Haunted Church - the church is kind of old and if you look at the church you see a light in the church. You can see figures of body's looking out the broken vents and windows. At the top of the church where the steeple is you can see the the cross is broken and it looks like someone is hanging on the broken cross. You see lights fly past you and across the church its not a big light is a little light kind of looks like the spook light from spoke light hill. It can be a real calm day and the wind will start to blow. This church is on 300 w. the other way from spook light
Old Indian Burial Ground - A cemetery where an Indian buried himself up there for some odd reason. If you climb up there at midnight and stand there for a second you can hear drums and howling. Some have even seen the shadow of the lonely Indian.
The Plantation - From the SR 59 and 42 intersection, take 42 East about 7 miles until you come across a Boy Scout Road. Turn North on this road and go about 1.2 miles and you will come to a lane on your right side. It is hard to see because the grass is so thick. There will be an old shed on the left side of the road here. Take the lane back and you will discover the front wall of an old home (the rest has been demolished), several sheds, and a barn or two. The larger barn has a loft that you can access easily by a staircase. There is no real legend of this place, but it may be worth checking out!
Shadow Beasts - You'll see what seems to be a couple of bushes, and one obviously is, but the other seems to be fainter in shadow and doesn't pass as the car passes, it appears to run along with you. People have observed this during a midnight drive. They call them "Shadow Beasts." They also said that they witnessed more than one, and that they were much more interactive. But the strangest thing is that this figure absorbs light...when you attempted to disprove this "thing" by thinking it's just-another-bush theory, shine your headlights in the direction of the known bush, and the unknown shadow. The bush was immediately illuminated and confirmed of it's nature, the shadow, seemed to disappear completely. Then as you drive away, it will be there again, running right along with you.
Stop Sign Mary - Right after you do Hell's Gates, in Brazil, Indiana, go through to the other side. You will see a T that one road goes to the left no right turn, and a stop sign that you just passed while turning. Go to that road.

When the engine stopped running, he pretended to be scared and told his date that the car had just died. Not long after they had been parked, they heard a strange noise outside.

heard her children screaming. She went to see what was going on and they both told her that there was a man at the top of the stairs (the stairs that led to the balcony). The woman called one of the workers in and he asked the kids what the man looked like. They gave him�a very elaborate description. A few days later that same worker was closing up after the shows and was making sure the emergency exits were closed. As he walked out of the hallway to the one exit he looked up to the projection room and saw a man duck his head really quickly. The man fit the same description the 3 and 5 year old children gave just days before. He ran immediately upstairs; the only way to get to the projection room and there was
no one to be found. About a week later a man came along and bought The Strand and the worker noticed this man looked very familiar. He talked to the man and found out that the man's father used to own The Strand as well and killed himself in the projection room years before.

driving on this road your car will die or if it doesn't die, your headlights
will get dim as if something is feeding off the energy. About 15 years ago a man
was brutally murdered on that road. It was haunted way before the murder
incident. Makes one wonder if an evil spirit provoked the
murder.

Vera Cruz
Haunted
House - Vera
Cruz is a very small town and there was a house right outside of town that was
built in the late 1800's. A man who lived there shot himself in the
kitchen. Later after the house had been empty for a few years, some people
bought the farm. The house was old by now. This was in the 1970's.
They claimed to see an old man walking up the long lane towards the house
but when they went outside to meet him, he wasn't there. One evening when
the parents were out for the evening, a babysitter claimed to have seen a man
walking up the lane with no head. They sold the house soon after.
Another family bought it and they too moved out after a couple months. It
burned down later. There is another house there now and I don't know if
they have any unwanted visitors or not.
Versailles
Silver Bell Nursing Home -
call lights go off in empty rooms...the
sound of children playing loudly can be heard in a room of the facility, people
whistling in the halls at night when all the residents are asleep...several
nurses have reported hearing someone in a room at night only to go in and it's
empty but they can still feel the presence of someone there...a nurse's aid
reported that the doors to the laundry room shut and locked on her and she had
to climb out a window to get out and when the nurse went to check, the doors
were locked...it used to be a hotel in the 1800's before becoming a nursing home
in recent years.
Vincennes
Purple
Sacred Heart Church/School -
If you go into the gym of Sacred Heart, you will feel thin air. When you go to the center of the court, you will feel like people are pushing you. In the hallway, there were tiny bare footprints spotted in the dust. They started, then quickly stop. There is no other sign of people anywhere else.
NOTE: This was a few years ago. They could've cleaned the area since then, to hide the evidence found.

Devils Back Bone (St Rd 25) - Many years ago a family was riding in their horse and wagon when they lost control and ended up in the swamp sinking in quicksand. If you go there late at night around mid-night (especially on Halloween), you can hear the horse and wagon coming and then hear the people screaming for help. Some people do say that sometimes you can actually see the wagon losing control.

Gravity Hill - at 1016 county line road if you stop at that mailbox put you vehicle in neutral and you will be pushed uphill. Some look for "reasonable" explanations, but it is also rumored that in the 1930's a school bus full of young children was hit by a train and they were killed. Now their ghosts push you to the train tracks but you never make it all the way up the hill. The tracks were torn down in the 60's, but the ghost still push you.
