Gary · Indiana

Ammons haunting case

Latoya Ammons’s claims about unusual events at a rented house became the subject of intense media attention and Zak Bagans’s film Demon House. Indiana Public Media notes that the claims were disputed. The film records a paranormal investigator’s interpretation; it does not independently establish possession or a supernatural cause.

Indianapolis · Indiana

Athenaeum

This Indianapolis landmark appears on the Chatham Arch–Lockerbie ghost walk. Visit Indy identifies it specifically as a haunted stop, alongside stories of the surrounding neighborhood. The available tourism description establishes the building’s place in local paranormal tours but does not provide a dated witness account.

Ballantine Hall

Accounts describe figures in a campus building’s stairwell. The publisher identifies this location in Haunted Bloomington, Indiana. This is a published haunting account; the proposed supernatural explanation remains unverified.

Moores Hill · Indiana

Carnegie Hall

Its investigator reported no personal unusual experience that night; the published results principally consisted of words generated by electronic devices.

Fowler · Indiana

Fowler Theater

Opened in 1940, this Art Deco cinema was restored by a preservation group beginning in 2001. The Ghost Research Society records stories of two women playing cards, unexplained voices and lights. Its September 2022 investigation was largely quiet; investigators considered interference between devices as an explanation for one apparent alert.

Carmel · Indiana

Fox Hollow Farm

Residents of the property associated with the Herbert Baumeister investigation have described a man in a red shirt and shadows near the woods. Ghost Research Society recorded these witness accounts during its August 2015 visit. These later paranormal reports are separate from the criminal evidence.

French Lick · Indiana

French Lick Springs Hotel

Stories at this historic hotel associate unexplained cigar smells and an elevator apparition with former owner Thomas Taggart. Visit Indiana records these as guest reports. The connection between a remembered hotelier and present-day experiences remains an interpretation, not a verified supernatural event.

Near Rockville · Indiana

Indiana State Sanatorium

Destination Fear investigated the former sanatorium, and Travel Channel published a clip centered on what the crew interpreted as an unexplained figure. This supplies a verified television connection. Edited paranormal footage and crew reactions should be evaluated as reported observations rather than confirmation of spirits.

Cedar Lake · Indiana

Lake of the Red Cedars Museum

The former ice-worker boarding house and Lassen Hotel became a museum after preservation efforts saved it. Ghost Research Society’s August 2016 report records stories of a woman with a kitten, unexplained footsteps and voices in empty rooms, together with investigators’ own interpretations of electronic recordings.

Valparaiso · Indiana

Memorial Opera House

Opened in 1893, this Civil War memorial theater has accumulated reports of whispers, unexplained footsteps and lights switching on after closing. A 2019 Ghost Research Society investigation recorded mixed results: some participants interpreted equipment responses as unusual, while another found no anomalous audio or video. The report also acknowledges irrelevant device-generated words.

Hartford City · Indiana

Monroe House

Owner Eddie Norris described hearing someone enter when his wife was absent and seeing a silhouette disappear into another room. Ghost Research Society recorded these accounts in April 2019. The same report notes Norris rejected many darker stories circulating about the property.

Fowler · Indiana

Old Benton County Jail

The 1876 jail later attracted reports of shadows and unexplained voices. Ghost Research Society investigated in August 2019, connecting the tradition with the 1883 removal and lynching of prisoner Jacob Nelling. Its author reported no personal unusual sensation during that visit.

Hartford City · Indiana

Old Blackford County Jail

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.

Crown Point · Indiana

Old Lake County Jail

The jail is known for John Dillinger’s 1 9 3 4 escape. Later accounts describe rattling bars, shadows and harmonica-like sounds. During a 2 0 1 4 investigation, some participants reported a bang and shadow, while another stressed that neighboring voices, equipment hum and echoes contaminated recordings.

Michigan City · Indiana

Old Lighthouse Museum

Harriet Colfax kept this 1858 lighthouse from 1861 to 1904. An April 2019 investigation records staff reports of footsteps, laughter and a cash drawer opening. Investigator Kathie Para saw the drawer move twice but acknowledged an ordinary explanation was possible; she recorded no electronic voice phenomena.

Martinsville · Indiana

Old Morgan County Jail

The 1890 jail later housed retail businesses after preservation efforts prevented demolition. During an August 2008 investigation, Ghost Research Society members reported shadows and unusual meter readings. Another participant recorded no unsettling experience and warned that teammates upstairs could contaminate audio recordings.

Winchester · Indiana

Randolph County Infirmary

The institution served as a county poor farm and home for people needing care. Its operator dates the present building to 1899 and its closure to 2006. Today it offers paranormal investigations, attaching a modern haunted reputation to a much longer history of social welfare.

Aurora · Indiana

Riverview Cemetery

A glowing-grave tradition has been linked speculatively with a family tragedy. The publisher identifies this location in Haunted Dearborn County, Indiana. Its inclusion documents a published paranormal account; the interpretation of a reported experience as a ghost remains unverified.

Indianapolis · Indiana

Slippery Noodle Inn

Visit Indy identifies this historic bar as a focus of paranormal stories and the starting point for a tour of the Wholesale District. The tour connects local ghost accounts with the district’s criminal and social history. Its advertised route documents a public storytelling tradition, rather than independently verifying particular encounters.

Morgan-Monroe State Forest · Indiana

Stepp Cemetery

This woodland cemetery is included in local accounts of reported spirits. The publisher identifies this location in Haunted Bloomington, Indiana. This is a published haunting account; the proposed supernatural explanation remains unverified.

Story · Indiana

Story Inn

The Blue Lady account is associated with this small Indiana inn and reports of cherry-tobacco smells, moved blue objects, and reflections. Visit Indiana identifies it as a local haunting tradition. The alleged identity of the figure should be treated separately from documented ownership history.

New Castle · Indiana

Thornhaven Manor

Simon Powell’s nineteenth-century home became a restoration project in 2012. Owner Steven Miller described shadows, illuminated windows and occasional scratches to Ghost Research Society. The team investigated in August 2016; its report treats the building’s alleged activity separately from the documented Powell family history.

Lawrenceburg · Indiana

Whisky’s

The restaurant appears in the county’s collection of reported paranormal accounts. The publisher identifies this location in Haunted Dearborn County, Indiana. Its inclusion documents a published paranormal account; the interpretation of a reported experience as a ghost remains unverified.

Mitchell · Indiana

Whispers Estate

The property’s operator presents it as a paranormal attraction and traces the house’s recorded history to the nineteenth century. Investigation visits focus on reported unusual experiences. The operator itself frames whether these involve spirits or another explanation as a question for visitors, not a demonstrated conclusion.

Evansville · Indiana

Willard Library

Willard Library preserves a long-running account of a Grey Lady, with sightings reported since the 1930s. Library ghost cameras helped spread interest in the story. The building is a real working library; photographs and visitor interpretations do not independently establish an apparition.
