Old Blackford County Jail

Hartford City, Indiana

The record

Used as a jail from 1879 to 1995, the building became privately owned after closing. Ghost Research Society’s September 2015 report describes footsteps, shadows and bangs around the cells. Participants also acknowledged overlapping groups and disputed interpretations of several recorded sounds.

Paranormal explanations remain claims, not established facts. Read the original sources for context.
