This captivating account covers everything from high-tech gadgetry like infrared thermometers and EMF detectors to nonscientific tools such as dowsing rods and ouija boards. As the capital of the Hoosier State, Indianapolis offers numerous sites of criminal activity, suicides, disturbed remains, horrific fires, and tragic accidents, providing hundreds of opportunities for ghost hunting.
Investigators explore eerie locations such as the Central State Mental Hospital, a facility that is reportedly the most actively haunted place in the state. Other locales include the legendary House of Blue Lights. Before it was demolished, it was often visited by local teens pumped with adrenaline and eager to prove their bravery. For them, climbing the iron fence and taking a dip in the glowing blue pool was a rite of passage. Now the area remains a green space that offers beautiful wildlife by day and frightening spectral visions by night.
