Hoosier Haunts - Paranormal Photography & Ghost Pics

Safe Areas to Visit / Public Tours

Hannah House - Located on the Southside of Indianapolis. It is an historic home with ghosts. These ghosts have been known to touch you. Look for tours available in October.

Waverly Hills Sanatarium - Louisville, Ky. a cool spot for activity. These ghosts may not only touch but grab you as well. This is also a good place to observe shadow people. Update 04/08; please visit the above link for touring Info.

Supernatural Tour - Chicago, IL. I took this tour about three years ago. Most of it is aboard a large bus with a few stops in certain areas.



Cemeteries

Stepp Cemetery in Morgan Monroe State Forest is favorite place for many to visit. Many people do not know there is another active cemetery near Stepp within the Morgan Monroe State Forest.

Boone-Hutchison Cemetery near Greencastle, IN Place of burial for Mary Boone, sister of Daniel Boone. There are legends of a blue light being seen here and of witches being buried here. There is covered bridge nearby; I have pics of orbs in the rafters.

Crown Hill Cemetery is the third largest non-govermental cemetery in the country. With over 555 acres it is the final resting place for many notables including President Benjamin Harrison, 11 Indiana governors, 1 Kentucky governor, 14 Indiana mayors, 13 Civil War generals, poet James Whitcomb Riley (this site is at the highest point in Indianapolis and has a beautiful view of downtown Indianapolis), author Booth Tarkington, automobile manufacturer Frederick Duesenberg, and the infamous bank robber John Dillinger. I have taken a late night tour. You will need to contact them for public tours.

Since I do not know your intentions. I would rather not list alot of cemeteries. I may add more here later. Lots of teens like to abuse cemeteries.

Paranormal Activity: The five levels of a poltergeist

Level One
Referred to as Senses Attack because in the early stages of a poltergeist the activity mainly revolves around the human body's basic six.

Cold spots - Strange noises - Odd odors and smells - Hearing footsteps - Unusual animal activity (dogs/cats running from rooms, etc) - Feelings of being watched



Level Two
This level is where the noises and smells begin to turn into something more direct. Everything is still at its basic level but turned up a few notches.

Whispers - Laughs or giggles - Moans or shrieking - Moving shadows - Breezes in closed areas - Visible clouds (base apparitions) - Strong static electricity. Marks on floors or walls, (Not Writings).



Level Three
At this stage the poltergeist begins to make it's presence felt. The difference is that in the first two levels it could be said that it was the mind playing tricks, but now, it's hard not to notice something real is happening. This is the level that the classic haunting falls into.

Lights and other electrical appliances turning ON/OFF - Unseen hands grabbing or touching people - Writings on walls or pattern markings - Doors that OPEN/CLOSE or LOCK/UNLOCK - Hearing voices or words clearly - Full apparitions or dark figures - Showing levels of communication with living people - Strange telephone calls



Level Four
This is where an advanced poltergeist begins to gain momentum. Moving closer to the danger level and picking up a clearer consciousness. It may seem that it's only a harmless ghost being playful. However, if it is a poltergeist, it may be gathering knowledge of what the people around it consider frightening. At the next level it will use the information gained here in a violent manner to create an atmosphere of absolute terror. Which it then will use to feed off of and build its own energy

Flying objects - Moving objects - Objects disappearing and reappearing elsewhere - shaking furniture - Fire starting - Appearing as frightening entities - Pushing or shaking people - creating visions or illusions - speaking in ordering tones - People feel dizzy, nausea or sick to stomach. Windows, mirrors or other household objects breaking for no reason - Levitation



Level Five
At this level the poltergeist is at its highest energy point and should be considered dangerous. Violent and/or threatening actions begin at this stage. The time frame here, and all stages listed, will vary determining on the poltergeist. It could end in days, months or years. After this stage the poltergeist will go dormant and then begin this cycle over again starting

Dangerous activity - Biting - Slapping or punching - rape - Animating objects - Possessions - Use of household electrical systems to cause harm - Fires and burning - Blood on walls, floors, ceilings - Attacked by unseen forces - held down - Hair pulled - Flying knives or sharp objects - Heavy objects falling - Threatening writings or visual signs



Paranormal activity can range from mere light noises to thunderstorms
This chart goes by levels that are accumulative as the levels progress.This means for example, that in level 3 the poltergeist will have all the characteristics of a level 3, but also have the characteristics of levels 1 and 2
