Haunted Indiana
Being from Indianapolis, Indiana the Co-Founder Debbie Lasiter-Morris
has visited the following locations at least once. We thought you might
find them interesting and if you get the chance you may want to visit
them.
******************************************
Indiana State Fair - there is an abandoned bridge across the street
from the Indiana State Fairgrounds, on the east side of Fall Creek
Parkway that takes you to Millersville Rd. It has been said that you can
hear splashing and gurgling noises below the bridge where a young
boy was pushed off and drowned. Supposedly his older brother
pushed him off and watched him drown.
********************************************
Cathedral High School (Former sight of Ladywood High School) -
When the Cathedral High School campus was the campus of
Ladywood, a private boarding school in Indianapolis. Ladywood was
entirely run by the Sisters of Providence, a group of nuns devoted to a
Catholic education. There is a building on campus, Loretto Hall, the
former main building of Ladywood, classes were held on the first floor,
physical education in the basement, with student dorms on the second
floor, and nun dorms in the attic. It has been reported many times that
at night, after what would be "lights out" for the girls that you can hear
and sometimes see a sister walking down the halls in the second floor
and candles burning in the attic.
**********************************************
Decatur Central High School -In the 1970's, a girl named Anjie and
her friends were recklessly riding around the school parking lot. They
crashed and Anjie was thrown from the car and killed. Strangely
enough, the school's electricity would not work for several weeks after
and the entire school smelled like burned rubber. Every year, around
the time of her death, the electricity still goes out and the smell of
burned rubber fills the air. It is reported that a young transparent girl
is seen walking up and down the stairs crying.
************************************************
House of Blue Lights - This mansion on Meridian Street in
Indianapolis is haunted by the young wife of the first owner. When you
go by the house at night you can see blue lights flickering on and off
on the grounds and in the tower window. According to legend the man
couldn't stand the thought of burying his lovely young wife so had a
special glass coffin built and placed in the tower. He would go visit his
wife every night. The tower was lit by soft blue lights, her favorite color.
**************************************************
Indiana Repertory Theatre - In life, the first artistic director of the
theatre used to jog around the upstairs mezzanine area when the
weather was cold or rainy. He reached his untimely death when his
nephew accidentally hit him with a car while jogging outside on a foggy
day. To this day, when it rains outside, you can hear floor boards in
the upper mezzanine creaking and groaning just as they would if
someone were running.
***************************************************
Indianapolis Athletic Club - The spirit of a young fireman has been
reported. He tries to wake up guests in the middle of the night. There
was a fatal fire at the hotel in the early 90s, in which a young firefighter
died.
**************************************************
Indianapolis City County Building - During the first years of
construction on this building, a special elevator was erected to move
court witnesses to different floors of the building. In the 1960's, a
witness was being escorted to court in a Mafia case. He was shot in the
elevator by one of the police escorts, who was really a hit man in
disguise. After this happened, access to the elevator was blocked and
the power cut off. Many people have reported hearing this mysterious
elevator going through the floors, muffled by screams heard in the
elevator shaft. Some have even claimed to see the actual ghost of the
shooting victim wandering the halls of the building.
************************************************
Irvington - Irvington is a town in Indianapolis. It was founded
sometime in the 1800's. There is a church there that was once upon a
time a house (it was added onto when it became a church) The church
is on a circle surrounded by many little houses. The church use to be
where a slave owner lived and all of his slaves and maids and such
lived in the houses around him. If you walk by the church/house in the
setting sun you can see a figure of a man either on the roof or
somewhere on the church grounds. If you spend the night in Irvington
you may experience several things. Some people, when they are
sleeping, have reported waking up and feeling that someone else is in
the room. Sometimes you will even see a young man. Also strange
smells and sounds have been heard and feelings that you are not
alone when you are.
(The Co-Founder grew up within five blocks of where this house is
situated. On this same circle which is spoke of tragedy hit twice during
her teenage years. One young boy became so stressed at living in
the area that he decided to run away, however he did not get far. He
was picked up while hitchhiking and the car he was in was hit by a semi
and he was beheaded. Another young man became so depressed he
went to the sitting area of the circle and shot himself with a shotgun. It
was a pretty close knit neighborhood and the tragedy of their loss
effected many. The stories of the house were ever present during that
time as well.)
*****************************************
I.P.S. School #50 - Cold spots felt, strange loud banging heard. The
building is still there. As for location, School #50 sits behind present
day Indianola Park, about a half mile EAST of the intersections of
Washington St. and Belmont Ave. On the City's west side.
