occurrences that have been reported here.

Attica

Mudlavia Hotel and Spa: Located between Attica and Kramer, this hotel started out as a
Sanitarium until an unexplained fire on February 29, 1920 destroyed the main building. It was
rebuilt in the 1960s as a Health Spa/Rest Home when natural mineral springs having therapeutic
properties were discovered. Rumors of Chicago gangsters spending time here are repeated often. A
second unexplained fire closed the Spa in the Spring of 1968. Rebuilt a third time in 1968 as a
restaurant it was successful until a third unexplained fire closed the place for good in the mid

Worshippers or the KKK using the area for ceremonies/meetings have been passed around. Reported
paranormal activity include a baby crying, car engine running, lights, mists, figures running

also reports of a werewolf like creature roaming about and charging at the cars.

road is your own headlights.

Brazil

100 Step Cemetery: If you climb the steps located on the grassy side of the cemetery (counting
as you go) then turn to face the open field the ghost of the first undertaker will appear and
reveal your death to you in a vision. When you climb back down the stairs you must count the
steps again. If you get the same number of steps as on the upward climb then the vision you
were given is wrong and you will not die in that way. If the numbers are different then the
vision is correct about the manner of your death. If you attempt to enter the cemetery without
climbing the steps you will be pushed down by a "phantom hand" which can leave a red mark on
you. Sometimes it can be seen for several days afterward.

Haunted Church: Located on 300W just down from Spook Light Hill this old church is reported to
be haunted. The steeple has a broken cross on it which can sometimes look like a figure is
hanging from it. Lights move past you and across to the church, figures can be seen apparently
looking at you from the church through the broken vents and windows. No matter the weather when
you are there a wind will start to blow during your investigation here.

Hell's Gate: To get to Hell's Gate you drive through Brazil, over a bridge until you come to
county road 1500. Turn left and continue on this road until you come to an old train tunnel.
This tunnel has a lot of graffiti. You drive into the tunnel and stop, then flash your
headlights 3 times (quickly) before driving through the tunnel, turning around and driving back
into it. Stop the car, turn off the engine and wait at least 10 - 15 minutes. The graffiti is
supposed to glow and blood is reported to drip down the walls of the tunnel. Your name may
appear on the wall. If it does then you will hear (and feel) banging on the roof and windows of
the car. When the banging stops, drive out of the tunnel and look at the tree where you may see
2 kids bodies hanging there. The rumor is that if your name appears on the tunnel wall and you
also see the bodies in the tree you will die shortly afterward.

Indian Burial Ground: An old cemetery on a hill where an Indian was rumored to have buried
himself alive.(no one seems to know why) At midnight if you stand quietly you will hear the
sounds of drums and howling. You may even see the shadowy figure of the Indian.

to be the ghost of a father looking for his dead daughter's head.

Bremen

Little Egypt: Located in Marshall County on Hawthorn and County Rd 5A (5A goes around the
cemetery) There are a multitude of stories about this cemetery. While driving around the
cemetery handprints are supposed to appear on the windows, a phantom farmer (killed in a nearby
field) will chase you out of the cemetery, a nickel placed on a baby's tombstone (no idea which
baby) will cause the ghost of the baby to cry and last but not least on certain nights the
sounds of a girl screaming, as she is being raped and murdered in the nearby woods, may be heard.
*updated 10/18/06*

in particular but has been known to make his presence apparent to men as well. He moves props
onstage (sometimes during productions), roams throughout the stage and costume room, has tapped
the costume mistress on the shoulder while she was working, hidden in the stage curtains and
occasionally brushes against the actors. No one seems certain if he was a former employee or
actor.

were murdered with an ax and their bodies left in the woods near the cemetery over the next 10
years. This area is extremely dark and surrounded by dense woods. If you go to the cemetery

unstable. On the night of November 14(unsure of the year) the mans wife came home early and
found her husband forcing himself on one of the boys in a bedroom. She screamed. The man beat
her to death and dragged her body to the quarry where he hid it. He then went back to the home
and murdered all 25 boys in his care. He disposed of their bodies in the same quarry. If you
go to this quarry on any night, except November 14, you will hear the sound of the boys laughing

a joke by a male student. She died from her injuries. She haunts the auditorium especially

cemetery which was told by 2 young women(age unknown) driving through the cemetery around
midnight. They stopped their car, flipped the headlights to High Beam on one of the tombstones.
What appeared to be a casket covered by a tarp could be seen sitting on the grave. As they

looked in the direction of the 2 women. They left the area, circled the cemetery and returned
to the spot where this occurred. There was no sign of the casket or the man.

Columbus

North High School: Over a hundred years ago there was a dirt road where the school auditorium
now stands. A boy named Mike(or Mikey) was walking down this road when a farmer ran him over

close to midnight. There is a story in the area from the 1920s about a young woman with an
out-of-wedlock baby. The rumors and snide remarks from the townspeople became too much for her

the tombstone as you are leaving the cemetery you will see it glowing again.

Crawfordsville

Haunted Cemetery: This cemetery is the home of a tree stump that was carved into a chair. This
"chair" is near the grave of an infant. The infants mother had the chair carved in order to be
able to be near her baby. One morning the woman was found dead in the chair with her dead baby
in her arms. She had removed her baby from it's grave and spent the previous night holding and
rocking her baby while sitting in the chair. Rumor was that she had taken her own life over her
grief for her child. If you go to this cemetery and sit in the chair you will surely die within

fastened a chain around the waist of his son. During the drive home the pickup went over a
large bump in the road. The boy fell out and the unknowing farmer drug his son over 2 miles
down the road, killing him. Distraught about his sons' death the farmer is rumored to have
