The Story - As you enter this cemetery which has been there since the early 1800s you an hear the sounds of horses even though there aren’t any horse farms around for miles and if you whistle someone will whistle with you it is pretty freaky and there are mausoleums that you can walk in to and many weirdly inscribed tombs like "knock three times and they shall come"

Peru

Hookmans Cemetery
Location/Directions: Located off 24 East between Peru and Wabash. Go east on 24, on your right before you get to Wabash is a road called Lover's Lane. Take this road until you get to the first dirt "road" on your left.

The Story - No matter what time of day you go there there is a fog that sits at the top of the hill no breeze, no birds, or insects. If you go there he is not buried where its mark you have to walk 1.5 miles back you'll know when you get there because its like a cold pocket. Urban legend Stories say on some cold fall nights you can see Hookman walking old lovers lane looking for his next victim.


Kings Courts
Location/Directions: Unknown

The Story - Where the old pizza hut used to be. Near highway 31,and if you take that road all the way back till you see a trailer court you found it! There have been seen strange creatures and very strange noises back there. There’s a cemetery on the side dating back to the 1800s and there been dry lighting hitting it for some time now (worth a look). 


Lutheran Cemetery
Location/Directions: To get to it take Business 31 into Peru. At the stoplight (Kroger's will be directly in front of you) turn left. This is Business 24/Main St. Follow this road until you get to the first right past the Frances Slocum Bank. Turn right. This road takes you to the cemetery. I would recommend contacting the Peru Police before investigating this cemetery at night. It is visible from the stoplight at Main and Business 31. The Peru Police take vandalism very seriously. If they see lights there late at night I can almost guarantee a visit from them.

The Story - On the older side of the Lutheran cemetery there is a very large white cross. It is said that at a certain time of night, midnight I believe, on particular nights a stairway will descend from the middle of the cross.


Okie Pinokie
Location/Directions: 
Follow this to Business 24E/Main Street. Turn right. Follow this to Broadway. Turn right on Broadway. You will want to stay in the left hand lane as soon as you get on Broadway. Immediately past the bridge is a road to the left (across from Shanty Malone's Pub) take this road. It is Riverside Dr/124E. Follow 124E to County Road 510E(2 miles past the Circus Hall of Fame Sign) which is on the right. The road is marked by two stone pillars/gateposts. It is a very rough, uneven gravel road. Follow this all the way back to the circle.

The Story - This site is located off of River Road (on your way to Mississinewa Resevoir). You will come to a "Y" in the road, where you will hang a right. You will soon after see a small cluster of pillars at the entrance of a gravel road. This site used to be swampy and marshy and there have been at least 8 decaying bodies found there (reported by Mississinewa staff). This site may be an old burial ground of some sort or battlefield, as to the thousands of spirits hiding within the trees. You will drive down this gravel road, and the trees will begin to swarm and intertwine above you. You will then come to a circle. Getting out the car, it is said that if you whistle, someone will begin whistling with you from deep in the forest. It is also said that a noise like a pig squeal and dogs barking can be heard like it is right next to you. And last but NOT least, you will hear screams like a small child is being tortured; supposedly it is a 7-year-old girl named Stephanie. Also, traveling a long a path you will find a tree that has indents that appear to be much like deer antlers; HOWEVER, these are horizontal instead of vertical and have a place for an opposable thumb. Warning: DO NOT GO HERE, UNLESS YOU REALLY WANT TO BE TERRIFIED. (P.S. Do not "Ouija" here for the spirits do not like it.)
