Yeah, I was actually kind of surprised/let down that those weren't even mentioned. Honestly, the twin bridges (Avon & Danville) are the least of the places that come to mind. There's a covered bridge in Putnam County that's pretty well known to have had pretty consistent experiences for decades that wasn't mentioned either. "Step Cemetery" & some others around the Hoosier National Forrest are some others.
Fox Hollow Farm is a very interesting story. I was actually telling my daughter about it yesterday because she was complaining about how boring IN is. I had to laugh at the shock on her face, & remind her that people are complex with histories that most are unaware of - even in "boring" IN.
Love that you did Richmond, Indiana. Born, raised, and live in richmond. No one ever covers anything in this city, so thank you for covering the Starr building. I live 6 minutes from the building, and it is for sure freaky. Another place in indiana that is haunted is the Randolph county infirmary in Winchester, Indiana. Keep up the great work! ❤
I wish this video would've been out a couple of years ago. I live between Bloomington and Bedford IN. When my in-laws visited from upstate NY my sister-in-law was dying to go ghost hunting. In the few places I found you had to have reservations weeks in advance and a certain amount of people in your group. It was a pain in the butt!
Born and raised in Indiana.. my friends and I decided we were gonna go to all the haunted places in Indiana and some in Chicago area.. ive been to so many but my favorite was the old salesian's school in cedar lake.. it was so cool to see all a big abandoned place back then.. it's been bought since then and they've demolished a lot of it now..i also miss walking down redar road but now they've turn that into a bike trail. My new thing lately is exploring all the old abandoned buildings in gary indiana.
i love that you started with south bend. that's where i grew up!!!! but i need you to understand that tippy ain't our most haunted place. it's actually the birdsell mansion.

Unfortunately most of the Cenrral State Hospitals buildings have been demolished.

The central state insane asylum closed in the 1990’s I used to go on ambulance runs there before it closed . It’s spooky at night and I’m positive it’s haunted
No one ever wanted to go with me to check it out after it closed. I understand why they demolished it & rebuilt on it, but you just know that kind of history impacts the area like an echo. Hell, my dad was the one who 1st drove me by it, while telling me about the stories he'd heard. Not from Naptown ourselves (think Cascade), but he'd worked near there since high school. That place just gave off a feeling that was oppressive, even on the other side of the fence/gate. EMS workers, you say? You guys undoubtedly have some stories to tell, & dammit I'm too curious for my own good!! Growing up surrounded by corn & soy beans may have something to do with it, but I'm just fascinated by people & their experiences.
Now there’s a lot of spray paint marks on the walls the windows are shattered and there’s stuff in the building it looks like it was burnt down it’s creepy
My class once went to the police station next to it as a sort of field trip but we had to walk past the building,it gives you chills down your spine seeing the inside
You left out by far the most haunted location in Indiana! Where are famous serial killer is from. Fox hollow farm serial killer Herb Baumeister. He was a doctor who lured gay men when his wife and child would be away, back to his huge manner. The place is set on an Indian burial ground. And Herb killed at least 25 men all that were buried on the farm. Police though found upwards of 10thousand bones on the property. There is a lot of haunting of gay men and Herb himself since he ended his life on the farm. I have been to this location and I have definitely had experiences in it. Herb liked to chock his victims in the indoor pool there. And when I was there a guy who didn't know the story was feeling like he was being chocked and pulled into the water. Location of this is Indianapolis but more Carmel.
A real life doctor Satan right here in Indiana and I thought I knew serial killers. My backyard isn't so bad though, I've experienced some quite frankly wacky stuff back there, hell I have even seen creatures that look straight out of an HP Lovecraft story. My neighborhood is spooky at night, it looks so innocent during the day though.
Thanks for checking out this video @Everythingis22. We'll definitely look into those places for future videos. Can you tell us a bit more about these locations?
@@FrightNightScares I worked the Hannah house during halloween for three years straight. Two things it is very creepy being alone in the house on your own at 3 am. The Hanna house was part of the undergound railroad. There were about 30 slaves hiding in the basement of the home which is rough rock walls and dirt floors trying to escape capture. Anyway a fire started in the basement and everyone down there died. They couldn't get out because they had to be locked in. I don't know if the tale is true or not but whenever I worked in the basement I would come upstairs and blow my nose and it would be all black...soot from the fire.
I’ve actually been through some of the state sanatorium. It’s a really cool place, and I’m pretty sure they do tours every year around Halloween. Didn’t get to explore the top floors, but it was still really cool.
@@FrightNightScares Definitely! Mostly personal experiences at my grandparents house. However, there is a cemetery called Bridgewater cemetery, located in Scott County Indiana where people see things all the time. It's notorious for handprints being left on vehicles by seemingly no one. There's tons of little spots, even my workplace where you just feel a weird energy, although we've seen things there as well.
Thanks for tuning in @henray76. Ghost hunting was definitely a different kind of experience back then. Have you gotten a chance to visit any of these Indiana haunts?
knew a guy who went to fc that killed himself we were foes and fought bitterly and some blamed me for his suicide well guess what happened after his funeral his vampire visited me just like in folklore outside our large great room window i saw a reddish glow in the pouring rain it was storming wildly so it was hard to see much ellse but i heard him dude clearly i heard him and it was his voice i could feel his grimln when he knew i heard his voice he kept saying my exact prayers in my head outloud i got up ran turned lights on turned on an audio book of the bible and it was goneand the storm i know thats a vampire i experienced i had to make peace with him and his family who blame me for his suicide last time i woke up i was face to face with the vampire he was looking at me so sad i think if i was cursed by gd for causing his suicide that meant its over i had internal parasites and got real sick during that period when in uaually really healthy that was a vampire i knew it wasa vampire just like youd know if it was elvis or some star u heard of my hairs standing up now i anow realise why in serbia the feared talking about them they are some kinda ghost of suicide whose to say his grave wouldnt be rosey with life i know dead bodies seemed like vampires but were natural things vut i believe maybe while he haunted me his body in the grave could have looked fresh if i dug it up obviously i wont but vamoires are real i proved it to myself and no it isnt a hapy or cool thing to me its very sad and scary @@FrightNightScares
That's due to people starting trouble in those areas .it was easier to just get rid of it .verses having constant problems at those places .sadly it sucks .
I used to live about three miles from Okie Pinokie. . I've gone out there many times. We fished and camped. I've heard all the rumors and stories. I have never been afraid of that area. Unfortunately the story about the young man who was beaten out there is true. May he rest in peace. This is not river road. This site has an almost invisible access through two old columns in a field. Your vehicle will take a beating because of the huge potholes in the dirt/gravel road back to it.
We went out there once during the night! The picture my friend took out there has some super crazy figures on it. The most prevalent one is a horned like entity. I wish I could share it in the comment section
If you do another vid about Indiana please cover the Gray Lady at Willard Library. I grew up in Evansville and it was always a big deal around Halloween. And the building does look creepy lol
Thanks so much for checking out the channel @marissacarter5232. We love that suggestion and will definitely keep it in mind for future videos. Can you tell us a bit more about the Gray Lady?
If you get a chance to go to the medical museum you definitely should. Went there during my clinical rotation and if you have any interest in medical or science it’s really really cool
A few other places that i heard was haunted are the allison mansion and the demon house of gary i have been to the allison mansion when it was a multi use building and one of the uses was for family psych when we were there i always felt like i was never alone and you could hear noises coming from empty rooms from what ive found there was a pool in the basement that one of the allison kids drowned in and on some nights you could hear her screams for help on the main floor there was also reports of hearing the screams from the pools drainage port that emptys into the river behind the place
Thanks so much for checking out this video @thundermite1241. We'll definitely look into Allison Mansion for future videos and love that you shared your experiences with us! Have you gotten a chance to visit any of these other haunted sites in Indiana?
@@FrightNightScares that was my only haunted house experence though you might be interested in the gary indiana demon house i think some called it the portal to hell due to the fact it had a supposed 200 seperate entitys in the space of a 2,000 square foot house and to top it off large parts of gary are just abandoned due to the ironworks closing shop (the town started as a corpo town) now gary is slowly starting to recover but its gonna take a while before we surpass its peat population
The demon house in Gary was bought by Zak Bagans of Ghost Adventures. His lock down in the house resulted in permanent eye damage. He now has to wear prism glasses to see properly. He ultimately had the house demolished.
I’m currently living in Williamsport Pennsylvania but I’m originally from Frankfort Indiana and will be moving back in a few days I grew up hearing spooky stories about some of the covered bridges
I lived in one of 4 Mansions in Scipio, Indiana that were apart of the underground railroad. The house was in North vernons historical society books. Too bad it couldn't have been saved. Pretty sure it was demolished in 2014 after i moved out. Many spirits walked at night in that house but to my surprise the house i lived in Bartholomew county was waaay more haunted. Orbs, people talking, cold spots etc... You just have to pay attention. I contacted a psychic & a boy named Josiah was always around me & the sound of a bulldozer. She says he thinks its funny to make me jump & scream. He always played with my hair & drew pictures on my back
Well of course if you go walking through the woods you're going to have scratch marks, LOL! Briars grow everywhere in the woods here. I'm surprised Katie's Lane in Washington County, IN wasn't mentioned. That or the haunted house in Mitchell.
Thanks for tuning in and for the suggestions @zacharyfaunce5072. We'll look into those locations for future videos. Can you share a bit about them with us?
Thanks for tuning in to the channel @Savaaj. That's definitely a good questions since both places have to many cool, haunted spots. Have you been able to visit any of these haunted places in Indiana or any from our South Carolina video?
I will admit I did have this strange chilling feeling just being at the Dock Street Theater & especially around the St. Philips Cemetery that’s located right near it. It was very strange because I was getting those chills & goosebumps even while it was hot & humid that day… Never before have I felt the heaviness that almost felt like a static-like energy surrounding me, surreal…
I’ve been to the Hannah house and Indiana sanitarium …there’s also the bell mansion in Fort Wayne. It used to be a funeral home and then a mansion . There’s a embalming room and equipment there still.
Thanks for tuning in to the channel @Frances-ov2ok. We indeed aren't from Indiana and do our best to do thorough research but are aware that we can sometimes make mistakes. Have you had a chance to visit any of these haunted locations before?
I've been to okiepinokie. From 11pm-4am when I was in hs. The story goes locally that there were 8 decomposing bodies found in the 80s there with no clues as to where they came from and there are Indian burial mounds there. We had a silent circle where we asked if anyone was there and stood silent and heard nothing, but on the way out of our 2mi hike, we would see shadow people who would dodge behind trees as soon as we put a flashlight on them. We would run at them to look behind the trees and there would be no one. We had a decent size group and were not afraid. We would see no one behind the trees, this happened numerous times. This is all we saw on our hike through okiepinokie
I was sub contracted for security through the US government to secure the building of the bridge and dam. I seen thing's. OMG I seen some ghosts! And two children that I thought was... I chased down the side of the hill.. that looks like Amish kids. Then I seen monster's. And red lights
I do urban exploring as a main hobby of mine. One of my favorite places to photograph (especially at night) is the medical history museum aka Central State. I have been there countless times. Not all the buildings are demolished. As of this August of 2024 the power building is still standing along with another building that I’m not certain of the use for, some kind of school? Either way I like to explore them solo at night with just a flashlight and a camera, while the legality of such an activity is in question I have had my fair share of spooky encounters and sounds. Especially in the tunnels beneath the power building.
I visited central state hospital about 2 years ago. I made a story time video about it on my channel (viewer discretion advised lol). I never uploaded the videos of me actually walking around inside and showing the graffiti on the walls but I could if anyone is interested.
i have an eerie, very real picture from Okie Pinokie. it’s actually a screenshot from a video that a friend sent me, which they got from their friend. it appears to be a ghost child with black holes for eyes…insanely creepy and very real. i’ve personally been there as well and did NOT like the feeling that weighed down the area. Okie ain’t no jokie!
A couple months late to the party here, but here's a story from a guy that grew up in Miami County and actually went to Yoki Pinoki once. I was about 17 or 18 at the time when my friend told me about the place, and how she wanted to take our group out there. I was a bit skeptical about it and was thinking it was just another forest, I'd been in Boy Scouts since like 5th grade and been in plenty of forests in the state and had my fair share of ghost stories so I wasn't really buying it with all the legends around Yoki. Well regardless she and the others, about four of them not counting me, managed to convince me to go and we drove out at sunset, close to 8pm ish I think. Well we show up and go into the forest and didn't really make it far before we just all had this sense of fear and dread, like something bad was about to happen, so we cut the trek short and managed to get back to my friends car right as this grey SUV was rolling up. WE freaked out, booked it to the car and the whole time the SUV just sat there like it was waiting for us, lights on and no one got out which only scared us more. Things got to a point when two guys got out walking in our direction just before my friend started the car and booked it. The two guys just kinda watched us leave and to my knowledge none of us have gone back since.
Just in my hometown and surrounding county we've got a few. The I street clinic (phantom spirits roam the halls of the original section of the clinic and play with the elevator) The Belle Gunness property ( home of infamous female serial killer Belle Gunness who killed dozens of men and children feeding their bodies to her pigs and burying the bones. They're still finding bones over 100 years later) The haunted mansion on Waverly road (multiple stories of paranormal phenomena) The KOP grounds ( former USA ordinance plant the stories are vast with all sorts of activity) That's just a few of Laporte county
Apartments and houses have been built on the old Central State Hospital grounds. I haven't heard much about them but I don't think that I would live there. 👻
Me and my friends would make routine trips to the powerhouse at central state 5 or so years ago. Theres definetely something there, me and 3 other friends saw a lot of terrifying shit there. (Dont go there now, it was technically tresspassing and we couldve gotten in trouble or hurt) At one point me and one of those same friends looked into renting at central state, theres apartmets there now and its an incredibly nice place. Me and the lady giving the tour watched doors open and close by themselves in broad daylight, and theres a lot of empty rooms there because of claims of hauntings. The entirety of central state has some truly creepy shit going on there
I live in Indiana! I’ve lived a lot of counties here too. I will reply if I have lived any where you talk about. Now New Albany is my place of residence
Fun to find out the first place in this video is in the next town over to you, honestly drove pass it multiple times had no clue it was haunted. There’s also a Hacienda restaurant in South Bend that has said to be haunted, my dad lives down the road from it I always wanted to go inside but never found time to do that.
What hacienda are you talking about in South bend? Are you talking about the house on lincolnway? I've been there many times and never have experienced any hauntings but not to say that it's not
I've lived in Indiana all 24 years of my life. The only one I've even heard of (or been to) was the medical history museum. Looks like I need to go on a road trip or 2 😂😂
Thanks for checking out this video @ssarajerde8280. You'll have to keep us posted if you get the chance to visit any of these other sites and if you experience anything particularly spooky!

Fun fact as a Hoosier I have heard of all of these and in my experience at least to the haunted bridge (which is where I live) I have heard the knocks and splashes from the creek and let me tell you, those sudden splashes are sudden and loud. Loud enough to definitely sound bigger than just a fish
Thanks for tuning in to the channel @jamessigler, and thanks for sharing your personal experiences with us. We love hearing first hand accounts from our listeners. Have you visited any of the other locations on this list?

Thanks for checking out this video @hatinonyou8260. We hope you get a chance to explore some of these haunts and let us know if you experience anything spooky for yourself!
We went to oakie pinoke and we could tell no one was there because we were in the area that’s all gravel, (if ur standing in the middle of the gravel circle, it’s like 20 feet each direction of just gravel, and then that gravel in surrrounded by trees) and we kept having gravel thrown at our car and us when we got out, heard whispering as if someone was right next to us, and when we got in the car it wouldn’t start and once we finally got it on, it felt like the biggest chunk of gravel was thrown at the back of the car
Thanks for checking out this video @khloeturner4380. That sounds like a pretty terrifying experience! Have you had a chance to visit any of these other Indiana haunted places before?

I'm from peru,ind and as a teenage you was aloud to camp and fish and your not aloud to camp anymore but we always went as a group day time its awesome night time it turns into a totally different place me and my friends heard a women screaming for help once and and we seen a liitle girl you can hear drums if you love the paranormal this is a place to visit just sit and listen thats the best way too experiences Okie pinokie the spirits will come to you

The central state asylum was haunted af before they tore it down i used to go there with my brother and sister in law and we would record everything one night we was walking the halls of one the abandoned building my brother shines a light at the end of the hall and there was a head peaking around the corner it was just us and we dipped out so fast we never went back because they tore it down
Thanks for tuning in to the channel @johnmoorman5200. That sounds seriously terrifying! We love hearing about personal experiences and stories from our listeners. Have you gotten a chance to visit any of these other locations?
@@FrightNightScares No I didn't. I'd suggest Dearborn/Ohio county in SE Indiana. We have the last standing Tripple Whipple bridge in the world, and it was the site of multiple lynchings. Needles to say, spooky things happen around there. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lochry's_Defeat This also happened.
I grew up in the Richmond area during the 70's and 80's, though for some reason I never went down in the Whitewater River valley to check out the piano factory, even though I always wanted to. I have to say, having done paranormal investigations off and on for 40 years, one of the most intense sites I have ever experienced was at the abandoned state mental hospital buildings on Round Barn Road just outside of Richmond. It was indescribable. There were four at one time, I believe but only one still stands to my knowledge. Edit: I now live in Kentucky, and I have a literal ton of paranormal stories from here...
Thanks for checking out this video @ellastewart-eq3gb. As much as we do try and do our thorough research we understand that we can sometimes make mistakes on pronunciations. Thanks for the correction. Have you been to any of these haunted Indiana locations before?
Im shocked that Whispers Estate wasn't mentioned! Its a place in Mitchell, Indiana. Not that far from me actually. It was owned by a doctor and his wife. A fire broke out in the parlor, and caused the daughters of the house to pass of injury and of strange circumstances. Its really cool and yet sad to think about. The estate was even mentioned on an episode of When the Walls Talk! It brings a lot more information of the past.

My neighborhood is spooky at night, it looks so innocent during the day though.
Herb did not kill himself on Fox Hollow Farm property. Herb fled to Ontario where he shot himself with a .357.
I don't think he was a doctor.
Whisper Estates, Hannah House, Indiana State Sanatorium
Thanks for checking out this video @Everythingis22. We'll definitely look into those places for future videos. Can you tell us a bit more about these locations?
@@FrightNightScares
I worked the Hannah house during halloween for three years straight. Two things it is very creepy being alone in the house on your own at 3 am. The Hanna house was part of the undergound railroad. There were about 30 slaves hiding in the basement of the home which is rough rock walls and dirt floors trying to escape capture. Anyway a fire started in the basement and everyone down there died. They couldn't get out because they had to be locked in. I don't know if the tale is true or not but whenever I worked in the basement I would come upstairs and blow my nose and it would be all black...soot from the fire.
I’ve actually been through some of the state sanatorium. It’s a really cool place, and I’m pretty sure they do tours every year around Halloween. Didn’t get to explore the top floors, but it was still really cool.
My home. ♥️ Indiana is spooky, especially here in the south.
Thanks for checking out this video @EYExINxTHExLENS. Have you personally ever experienced anything extra spooky while living there?
The only thing spooky about Indiana is all of the Hoosier's that live there. I'm 30 minutes from the border with Indiana so I know all too well... 😂😂
@@FrightNightScares Definitely! Mostly personal experiences at my grandparents house. However, there is a cemetery called Bridgewater cemetery, located in Scott County Indiana where people see things all the time. It's notorious for handprints being left on vehicles by seemingly no one. There's tons of little spots, even my workplace where you just feel a weird energy, although we've seen things there as well.
Columbus Indiana… the crump theater
It's a great state! : )
Ghost hunting in the 90's was a blast. For some reason all the good spots have been demolished.
Thanks for tuning in @henray76. Ghost hunting was definitely a different kind of experience back then. Have you gotten a chance to visit any of these Indiana haunts?
@@FrightNightScares yes I have been to all of them. early 90s piano factory was the only place I ever felt real fear
knew a guy who went to fc that killed himself we were foes and fought bitterly and some blamed me for his suicide well guess what happened after his funeral his vampire visited me just like in folklore outside our large great room window i saw a reddish glow in the pouring rain it was storming wildly so it was hard to see much ellse but i heard him dude clearly i heard him and it was his voice i could feel his grimln when he knew i heard his voice he kept saying my exact prayers in my head outloud i got up ran turned lights on turned on an audio book of the bible and it was goneand the storm i know thats a vampire i experienced i had to make peace with him and his family who blame me for his suicide last time i woke up i was face to face with the vampire he was looking at me so sad i think if i was cursed by gd for causing his suicide that meant its over i had internal parasites and got real sick during that period when in uaually really healthy that was a vampire i knew it wasa vampire just like youd know if it was elvis or some star u heard of my hairs standing up now i anow realise why in serbia the feared talking about them they are some kinda ghost of suicide whose to say his grave wouldnt be rosey with life i know dead bodies seemed like vampires but were natural things vut i believe maybe while he haunted me his body in the grave could have looked fresh if i dug it up obviously i wont but vamoires are real i proved it to myself and no it isnt a hapy or cool thing to me its very sad and scary @@FrightNightScares
That's due to people starting trouble in those areas .it was easier to just get rid of it .verses having constant problems at those places .sadly it sucks .
I agree. It’s just not the same.
I used to live about three miles from Okie Pinokie. . I've gone out there many times. We fished and camped. I've heard all the rumors and stories. I have never been afraid of that area. Unfortunately the story about the young man who was beaten out there is true. May he rest in peace. This is not river road. This site has an almost invisible access through two old columns in a field. Your vehicle will take a beating because of the huge potholes in the dirt/gravel road back to it.
We went out there once during the night! The picture my friend took out there has some super crazy figures on it. The most prevalent one is a horned like entity. I wish I could share it in the comment section
Peru native here! I've been part of two paranormal investigations out at Okie Pinokie. I'ts definitely haunted
If you do another vid about Indiana please cover the Gray Lady at Willard Library. I grew up in Evansville and it was always a big deal around Halloween. And the building does look creepy lol
Thanks so much for checking out the channel @marissacarter5232. We love that suggestion and will definitely keep it in mind for future videos. Can you tell us a bit more about the Gray Lady?
@@FrightNightScares love the content btw!
If you get a chance to go to the medical museum you definitely should. Went there during my clinical rotation and if you have any interest in medical or science it’s really really cool
A few other places that i heard was haunted are the allison mansion and the demon house of gary i have been to the allison mansion when it was a multi use building and one of the uses was for family psych when we were there i always felt like i was never alone and you could hear noises coming from empty rooms from what ive found there was a pool in the basement that one of the allison kids drowned in and on some nights you could hear her screams for help on the main floor there was also reports of hearing the screams from the pools drainage port that emptys into the river behind the place
Thanks so much for checking out this video @thundermite1241. We'll definitely look into Allison Mansion for future videos and love that you shared your experiences with us! Have you gotten a chance to visit any of these other haunted sites in Indiana?
@@FrightNightScares that was my only haunted house experence though you might be interested in the gary indiana demon house i think some called it the portal to hell due to the fact it had a supposed 200 seperate entitys in the space of a 2,000 square foot house and to top it off large parts of gary are just abandoned due to the ironworks closing shop (the town started as a corpo town) now gary is slowly starting to recover but its gonna take a while before we surpass its peat population
The demon house was demolished from what i heard @@thundermite1241
The demon house in Gary was bought by Zak Bagans of Ghost Adventures. His lock down in the house resulted in permanent eye damage. He now has to wear prism glasses to see properly. He ultimately had the house demolished.
Gary Indiana is scary period! You'd have to pay me to go there during the day. So there is no way in hell I'd ever go there at night!
we love Indiana! so much history, so many hauntings.
I live in Indiana bordering Michigan.
Me too. Wanna get high
Woah that’s crazy. Tell me more
Me too😊
Tippecanoe is a stunning beauty. We had dinners & tours there & a co-worker was married there.
I’m currently living in Williamsport Pennsylvania but I’m originally from Frankfort Indiana and will be moving back in a few days I grew up hearing spooky stories about some of the covered bridges
Thanks so much for checking out this video @amandakressley6521. Can you share any of these spooky stories about the covered bridges with us?
I Absolutely love it when my state gets mentioned
Thanks for checking out this video @Jup1terstarr. Have you gotten a chance to explore any of these Indiana haunts?
@@FrightNightScares no, sadly
I lived in one of 4 Mansions in Scipio, Indiana that were apart of the underground railroad. The house was in North vernons historical society books. Too bad it couldn't have been saved. Pretty sure it was demolished in 2014 after i moved out. Many spirits walked at night in that house but to my surprise the house i lived in Bartholomew county was waaay more haunted. Orbs, people talking, cold spots etc... You just have to pay attention. I contacted a psychic & a boy named Josiah was always around me & the sound of a bulldozer. She says he thinks its funny to make me jump & scream. He always played with my hair & drew pictures on my back
Well of course if you go walking through the woods you're going to have scratch marks, LOL! Briars grow everywhere in the woods here. I'm surprised Katie's Lane in Washington County, IN wasn't mentioned. That or the haunted house in Mitchell.
I live in Mitchell, just a 2 minute drive from that scary haunted house. Been by it many times.
Do the Bristol Opera House and Little Egypt Cemetery. Being from northern Indiana, those are two places that are famously haunted around here
Thanks for tuning in and for the suggestions @zacharyfaunce5072. We'll look into those locations for future videos. Can you share a bit about them with us?
Another really interesting video. I always look forward to your uploads.
Thank you as always @AScottishOdyssey. We appreciate the love and your continued support!
@@FrightNightScares I always look forward to your videos.
As Always I really enjoyed it. waiting for the next video.
Thanks so much as always @shannonmanley9217. We appreciate you and will keep the haunted videos coming!
Scariest place in Indiana is Indiana itself ( I live here it kinda sucks )
Being from Indiana and now living in South Carolina. I’ve always wondered which was more haunted? South Carolina or Indiana?
I thought haunted places were normal until I left the state of Indiana
Thanks for tuning in to the channel @Savaaj. That's definitely a good questions since both places have to many cool, haunted spots. Have you been able to visit any of these haunted places in Indiana or any from our South Carolina video?
@@FrightNightScares I’ve been to both the Kaminski House & the Dock Street Theater!
I will admit I did have this strange chilling feeling just being at the Dock Street Theater & especially around the St. Philips Cemetery that’s located right near it. It was very strange because I was getting those chills & goosebumps even while it was hot & humid that day… Never before have I felt the heaviness that almost felt like a static-like energy surrounding me, surreal…
When i was at norshore threater the lights turn off on it's own and i say the door opened and closed too😊
I’ve been to the Hannah house and Indiana sanitarium …there’s also the bell mansion in Fort Wayne. It used to be a funeral home and then a mansion . There’s a embalming room and equipment there still.
Herb wasn't a doctor , he owned the Save alot food stores so u must not b from Indiana. So u must b a transplant dear friend ..
Thanks for tuning in to the channel @Frances-ov2ok. We indeed aren't from Indiana and do our best to do thorough research but are aware that we can sometimes make mistakes. Have you had a chance to visit any of these haunted locations before?
I definitely wanna visit those🌳woods...🤘🏼💯✔️
The Richmond story was scary. Almost like the property would never be unnoticed with all that paranormal activity.
The haunted bridge ran through my backyard growing up :)
I've been to okiepinokie. From 11pm-4am when I was in hs. The story goes locally that there were 8 decomposing bodies found in the 80s there with no clues as to where they came from and there are Indian burial mounds there. We had a silent circle where we asked if anyone was there and stood silent and heard nothing, but on the way out of our 2mi hike, we would see shadow people who would dodge behind trees as soon as we put a flashlight on them. We would run at them to look behind the trees and there would be no one. We had a decent size group and were not afraid. We would see no one behind the trees, this happened numerous times. This is all we saw on our hike through okiepinokie
I have been to Okie Pinoki and it is creepy as hell at night...
❤. Oh I love the Fright night it’s makes me go 😵💫🤯😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Thanks so much for the love @semigoth299. Have you gotten a chance to visit any of these spooky places before?
I was sub contracted for security through the US government to secure the building of the bridge and dam. I seen thing's. OMG I seen some ghosts! And two children that I thought was... I chased down the side of the hill.. that looks like Amish kids.
Then I seen monster's.
And red lights
Indiana has a lot of haunted places.
I'm from fort Wayne IN
A popular video based on INDIANA?? THIS CAN’T BE REAL!
I do urban exploring as a main hobby of mine. One of my favorite places to photograph (especially at night) is the medical history museum aka Central State. I have been there countless times. Not all the buildings are demolished. As of this August of 2024 the power building is still standing along with another building that I’m not certain of the use for, some kind of school? Either way I like to explore them solo at night with just a flashlight and a camera, while the legality of such an activity is in question I have had my fair share of spooky encounters and sounds. Especially in the tunnels beneath the power building.
I visited central state hospital about 2 years ago. I made a story time video about it on my channel (viewer discretion advised lol). I never uploaded the videos of me actually walking around inside and showing the graffiti on the walls but I could if anyone is interested.
i have an eerie, very real picture from Okie Pinokie. it’s actually a screenshot from a video that a friend sent me, which they got from their friend. it appears to be a ghost child with black holes for eyes…insanely creepy and very real. i’ve personally been there as well and did NOT like the feeling that weighed down the area. Okie ain’t no jokie!
A couple months late to the party here, but here's a story from a guy that grew up in Miami County and actually went to Yoki Pinoki once.
I was about 17 or 18 at the time when my friend told me about the place, and how she wanted to take our group out there. I was a bit skeptical about it and was thinking it was just another forest, I'd been in Boy Scouts since like 5th grade and been in plenty of forests in the state and had my fair share of ghost stories so I wasn't really buying it with all the legends around Yoki. Well regardless she and the others, about four of them not counting me, managed to convince me to go and we drove out at sunset, close to 8pm ish I think. Well we show up and go into the forest and didn't really make it far before we just all had this sense of fear and dread, like something bad was about to happen, so we cut the trek short and managed to get back to my friends car right as this grey SUV was rolling up. WE freaked out, booked it to the car and the whole time the SUV just sat there like it was waiting for us, lights on and no one got out which only scared us more. Things got to a point when two guys got out walking in our direction just before my friend started the car and booked it. The two guys just kinda watched us leave and to my knowledge none of us have gone back since.
There are a lot more than just these 5 places in Indiana. Let's hear about them
@jeffereypedigo4965 You are absolutely right about that! Don't worry, we'll have more of Indiana in future videos!
Just in my hometown and surrounding county we've got a few.
The I street clinic (phantom spirits roam the halls of the original section of the clinic and play with the elevator)
The Belle Gunness property ( home of infamous female serial killer Belle Gunness who killed dozens of men and children feeding their bodies to her pigs and burying the bones. They're still finding bones over 100 years later)
The haunted mansion on Waverly road (multiple stories of paranormal phenomena)
The KOP grounds ( former USA ordinance plant the stories are vast with all sorts of activity)
That's just a few of Laporte county
Just went to Avon Bridge this past Saturday and nothing matter of fact it was boring. They also lock the gates at 9pm
Apartments and houses have been built on the old Central State Hospital grounds. I haven't heard much about them but I don't think that I would live there. 👻
Me and my friends would make routine trips to the powerhouse at central state 5 or so years ago. Theres definetely something there, me and 3 other friends saw a lot of terrifying shit there. (Dont go there now, it was technically tresspassing and we couldve gotten in trouble or hurt)
At one point me and one of those same friends looked into renting at central state, theres apartmets there now and its an incredibly nice place. Me and the lady giving the tour watched doors open and close by themselves in broad daylight, and theres a lot of empty rooms there because of claims of hauntings. The entirety of central state has some truly creepy shit going on there
I live in Indiana! I’ve lived a lot of counties here too. I will reply if I have lived any where you talk about. Now New Albany is my place of residence
Fun to find out the first place in this video is in the next town over to you, honestly drove pass it multiple times had no clue it was haunted. There’s also a Hacienda restaurant in South Bend that has said to be haunted, my dad lives down the road from it I always wanted to go inside but never found time to do that.
What hacienda are you talking about in South bend? Are you talking about the house on lincolnway? I've been there many times and never have experienced any hauntings but not to say that it's not
Hundred Steps near Shelbyville. Spooky 👻
Blackfoot Cemetary, Oakland City Indiana.
Should have Hartford city haunted old jail and the Monroe demon house which they made a movie about.
I actually got chased by a spirit in Tippecanoe when I went for a camp on a school Field Trip
You’ve got to talk about Culbertson mansion. I’m 2 min in the video atm.
As a Indianpolis Colts fan who is also into the paranormal this is very interesting stuff in this video
Dont ever go walkin through them cornfields after sundown
Dont forget the Slippery Noodle!
A man just got arrested at the first location for breaking in to cook himself a meal and drink beer.
Indiana resident and skeptic here, one of the most bone chilling experiences I had was at central state. That place is haunted as sht.
@AL-kd8gj I take it you're not a skeptic anymore? 😉
you should visit the randolph county asylum in indiana
I've lived in Indiana all 24 years of my life. The only one I've even heard of (or been to) was the medical history museum. Looks like I need to go on a road trip or 2 😂😂
Thanks for checking out this video @ssarajerde8280. You'll have to keep us posted if you get the chance to visit any of these other sites and if you experience anything particularly spooky!
Thornhaven Manor outside of New Castle is the most haunted house in Indiana. It’s even been on episodes of Ghost Hunters.
Thanks for tuning in to the channel and checking out this video @robwyatt8548. We always love hearing suggestions of haunted places from out listeners and will definitely look into it for future releases. Can you tell us a bit about Thornhaven Manor?
Fun fact as a Hoosier I have heard of all of these and in my experience at least to the haunted bridge (which is where I live) I have heard the knocks and splashes from the creek and let me tell you, those sudden splashes are sudden and loud. Loud enough to definitely sound bigger than just a fish
Thanks for tuning in to the channel @jamessigler, and thanks for sharing your personal experiences with us. We love hearing first hand accounts from our listeners. Have you visited any of the other locations on this list?
I didn't know these places even existed now I gotta visit them because I'm currently living in Indiana and I have never heard of the forest even though in from Peru Indiana
Thanks for checking out this video @hatinonyou8260. We hope you get a chance to explore some of these haunts and let us know if you experience anything spooky for yourself!
We went to oakie pinoke and we could tell no one was there because we were in the area that’s all gravel, (if ur standing in the middle of the gravel circle, it’s like 20 feet each direction of just gravel, and then that gravel in surrrounded by trees) and we kept having gravel thrown at our car and us when we got out, heard whispering as if someone was right next to us, and when we got in the car it wouldn’t start and once we finally got it on, it felt like the biggest chunk of gravel was thrown at the back of the car
Thanks for checking out this video @khloeturner4380. That sounds like a pretty terrifying experience! Have you had a chance to visit any of these other Indiana haunted places before?
I don't belive in ghosts, it's the living I worry about.
😲!!
Thanks for checking out the channel @JohnShinn1960. The living and definitely sometimes be equally as terrifying. Have you been to any of these locations before?
I'm from peru,ind and as a teenage you was aloud to camp and fish and your not aloud to camp anymore but we always went as a group day time its awesome night time it turns into a totally different place me and my friends heard a women screaming for help once and and we seen a liitle girl you can hear drums if you love the paranormal this is a place to visit just sit and listen thats the best way too experiences Okie pinokie the spirits will come to you

The central state asylum was haunted af before they tore it down i used to go there with my brother and sister in law and we would record everything one night we was walking the halls of one the abandoned building my brother shines a light at the end of the hall and there was a head peaking around the corner it was just us and we dipped out so fast we never went back because they tore it down

Thanks so much for checking out this video @esoteric_Derek. Can you share some of your stories with us?
Also, if you ever re-visit Indiana, please consider the Hannah House, and Whispers Estates. I've been to both, and both are terrifying!
We've heard of the Whispers, we'll definitely look in to it. Any other special requests?
@@FrightNightScares not off the top of my head, but if any come up I'll be sure to let you know!

@@FrightNightScares No I didn't.
I'd suggest Dearborn/Ohio county in SE Indiana. We have the last standing Tripple Whipple bridge in the world, and it was the site of multiple lynchings.
Needles to say, spooky things happen around there.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lochry's_Defeat
This also happened.
I grew up in the Richmond area during the 70's and 80's, though for some reason I never went down in the Whitewater River valley to check out the piano factory, even though I always wanted to. I have to say, having done paranormal investigations off and on for 40 years, one of the most intense sites I have ever experienced was at the abandoned state mental hospital buildings on Round Barn Road just outside of Richmond. It was indescribable. There were four at one time, I believe but only one still stands to my knowledge.
Edit: I now live in Kentucky, and I have a literal ton of paranormal stories from here...
Mrs Pence batcave, for certain.

Hey there from Mitchell. Crazy.
The train tunnel in Tunnelton, Indiana.
Im shocked that Whispers Estate wasn't mentioned! Its a place in Mitchell, Indiana. Not that far from me actually. It was owned by a doctor and his wife. A fire broke out in the parlor, and caused the daughters of the house to pass of injury and of strange circumstances. Its really cool and yet sad to think about. The estate was even mentioned on an episode of When the Walls Talk! It brings a lot more information of the past.
