Read this chilling collection of 78 ghost stories from throughout
Indiana. When settlers first came to Indiana before 1800, the
Miami, Delaware, and Potawatomi tribes who already inhabited the
region had a long tradition of stories about tragic death and
haunting spirits. Pioneers, the builders of Indiana canals,
villagers, and city dwellers added their own tales of mansions
where sad deaths occurred and where spirits walked, and of
murderers and kidnappers whose foul crimes seemed to be punished
from beyond the grave. These traditions have been passed on to us
today, joined by modern folk tales that raise the hair on the head
and startle the imagination. Journey to Hazelcot, the deserted
dream mansion in Whitley County; to the forsaken and frightening
tomb of riverboat captain Francis McHarry along the Ohio, where
ships to this day toot out their homage to avoid the ghost's curse;
and to the bridges near Avon, Indiana, where who-knows-what will
occur during Halloween. These carefully researched and truly
frightening tales by Wanda Lou Wilis, one of Indiana's most popular
folklorists, will provoke and amuse even the most skeptical reader.
Inside you'll find: 78 ghostly tales about folklore and spooky
sites Stories arranged by county Maps and directions to the haunted
locations Historical information about the counties Do ghosts still
walk the roads and trails of the Hoosier heartland? Find out for
yourself with Haunted Hoosier Trails.
