-Hannah House, Indianapolis.
3801 Madison Avenue, Indianapolis, IN 46225. 317-638-4264
The sickening smell of rotting flesh drifts from a second-floor bedroom here, and mysterious cold spots move about, seemingly of their own volition. Sometimes the apparition of a bearded man in a black frock coat can be seen. This Italianate mansion was built in 1885 by state legislator Alexander M. Hannah, but it was not until 1967, after the house had vacant for 5 years, that strange things started happening. The overpowering stench of death on the second-floor may be the ghostly manifestation of the Hannah's stillborn child. The apparition of Alexander Hannah was last reported in 1972, standing on the second-floor near the stairway arch.The ghost of an unidentified woman was reported near a window on the same floor, and phantom slaves have been seen hiding in the basement. Other strange activities, such as moving chandeliers and picture frames, and unaccountable sounds, have been witnessed by television crews investigating the grand but spooky house.

-Tunnelton Train Tunnel, Tunnelton.
The Big Tunnel has fostered local legends and rituals for generations since its construction. Some people reportedly have seen the "ghost of the tunnel" or at least felt his ghostly presence. Long ago a man named Henry Dixon was murdered, and his body was reportedly placed in the tunnel so a passing train would erase any evidence in the crime, which it apparently did, for although almost everyone knew who murdered Dixon at the time, no one could prove it. So for generations now, the ghost has been walking the tunnel or the hillside, carrying a lantern in one hand and his head in the other.
-Highland High School, Highland.

The gym at Highland is where the sightings usually take place. People have reported that they have seen a little boy roaming around the gym and sometimes doing laps around the basketball court. They have also heard basketball being bounced. They say that the sounds and the little boy running laps are a kid known by the name of Bob Haymaker. Bob died one day in gym class when they were playing basketball. The teacher said that he was fine and next time the teacher looked at him, he was lying there dead. Ever since then, little Bobby Haymaker has haunted the gym of Highland High school.

-Spook Light Hill, Brazil.
If you travel north on highway 59, out of Brazil, Indiana, in about 4 or 5 miles you will come to a gravel road that turns to the right. The road takes the lonely traveler to the tiny town of Carbon, but before you get there, you pass over 3 hills. If you are brave enough, you can stop at the top of the last hill and look back down toward the 2nd one. If you are lucky, most nights a lone lantern light can be seen swinging through the woods, this hill is known as 'Spook Light Hill'. It's said that a father lost a murdered daughter and now roams that area looking for her head.
