The Stories

Indiana Ralph's House: The very first thing recalled is when "Rdaddy" had a tater-tot thrown at him. Soon, it went haywire. Pencils would be found on top of doors, T.V's turning on and off. Dad reported footsteps and every time Aunt N went into her room, the T.V. turned on. Once, everyone was watching the T.V, and it turned off. So, Aunt N went to go turn it on and as soon as she was about to get it, it turned on again. This happened about 5 times until N said,"Ralph! Cut it out!" It didn't happen anymore. Dad once had a friend over and they were rolling a ball into the kitchen with Snoopy, our former dog, when he started to whimper. Then the ball slowly rolled back. Pa Joe has reported seeing it several times. Once Aunt N, Rdaddy, and I decided to conduct an "investigation" and we took some pictures. The Ralph picture is above on one of the next posts.

Story, Indiana Story Inn: There are several stories about the blue room and a picture above the main counter. The story about the room is that if you turn on a blue light in the room that she will suddenly appear. The picture, they think, is the Blue Lady. One day a man noted on the woman's looks (or lack thereof) and the picture shook, fell down and broke. Upon further investigation the wire was still intact and nail was stable. When we entered nothing happened, at first. We were all set to leave when grandpa and I thought what the heck? So we went upstairs in the blue room and immediately we smelled a cherry tobacco smell, the Blue Lady's signature fragrance. For more on the Blue Lady go to thestoryinn.com, scroll to the bottom of the page and on the right it says Blue Lady.

Evansville, Indiana Williard Library: If you are an Indiana ghost fan, you've heard of this place. A ghostly lady draped in all gray roams the halls, and you can even smell her. Hundreds of people have reported seeing and smelling her for a long time. Well, you can add me. I was in the children's section, which is supposedly most haunted among the rooms. I walked into the back room and I was immediately hit with a musky perfume smell. I walked out, then back in, and it was gone. It is one of the best ghost places in Indiana.
