Other accounts tell of blood constantly appearing in a room where a bride once committed suicide and other stories tell of a bellhop and other former workers at the hotel who continue to pop up.
- The Haunted Bridge of Avon

- Fox Hollow Farm

- The Story Inn

- The Willard Library

- Stepp Cemetery
Joe Monin/Flickr Sure, all cemeteries can be creepy in their own way, but this one is positively chilling. Many recall a screaming spirit in the form of a woman who is looking for her deceased baby. Others claim to have heard chanting from a local cult and numerous spirits.
- The Big Tunnel

- Indiana Central State Hospital
wikimedia Now known as the Indiana Medical History Museum, these grounds used to be home to an insane asylum. In fact, many former patients are buried around the buildings, on the site’s grounds. Visitors and employees still swear you can hear footsteps, screaming, and sometimes even see former patients’ ghosts.
- Randolph County Infirmary
Randolph County Infirmary/Facebook Another former insane asylum is this Randolph County Infirmary building. There are tons of paranormal activities reported here, such as objects being thrown across the room, shadowy figures, and much more. Don’t believe us? Stay overnight and see for yourself (click the link above for more information).
- The Barbee Hotel
DonVita/TripAdvisor This little hotel has a history of terrifying events that spans back decades. This was a popular hotel for gangsters like Al Capone back in the early 1900s and one of the more frequent ghost sightings is from a gangster’s murdered girlfriend. Pretty creepy.
