Program Description

Event Details

This is a deep dive into Hoosier Legends, Ghosts, and Places.  We begin with the Avon Bridge, where we dispel and validate some of the legends, folklore, and claims of Paranormal associated with the bridge.  Then, we delve into the History and hauntings of the Hanna House.  We dive into misinformation and claims of its long history of being an underground railroad stop and the Ghost of enslaved people buried in the basement.  Next we will discuss the Fowler Theater, located in Fowler, Indiana.  This beautiful art deco, for example, architecture harbors some fascinating spirits.  We finish with Greenlawn Cemetery vs. the city of Indianapolis.  Citing amidst the old Diamond chain site, this is the true poltergeist story, where they moved the stones but not the bodies.  In 2024, Indy Eleven was trying to build Indianapolis' first soccer stadium.  While under construction, more bodies are discovered.  We cover the haunting accounts of Diamond Chain employees' encounters with the Greenlawn ghosts.

After the presentation, we will have a Q&A session for our audience.  This program is great for the curious and skeptic.
