Get this introduction to Indiana ghosts that’s two books in one: part armchair read and part ghost hunting guide!
Mansions where tragic deaths occurred and where spirits walk, murderers whose foul crimes are punished beyond the grave–countless ghost stories have been passed on for generations, joined by modern folktales that raise the hair on the head and stir the imagination. Wanda Lou Willis, one of Indiana’s popular folklorists, has carefully researched and collected 77 frightening tales that will provoke and amuse even the most skeptical reader.
Enjoy these stories from the safety of home or become a ghost hunter. Utilize maps to the haunted locations that are open to the public. Journey to Hazelcot, the deserted dream mansion in Whitley County; to the tomb of riverboat captain Francis McHarry along the Ohio River, where ships pay homage to avoid the ghost’s curse; and to the bridges near Avon, where who knows what will occur?
Whether you’re a horror fan, a history buff, or a traveler looking to explore Indiana like never before, Haunted Hoosier Tales is for you. Share it with friends around a campfire or try the stories alone at home–if you dare.
Inside you’ll find:
- 77 ghostly tales from haunted locations
