Hoosier Myths and Legends

The Man of Science by Jerome K. Jerome  tells the story of a scientist who believes a skeleton recently bought is that of his old enemy and is haunting him. So turn the lights low, sit back, relax, and get ready to enjoy this creepy tale.

Since the 1930’s a legend has persisted about a mysterious woman in black who haunts the town of Boonville, Indiana.  So sit back, relax, and get comfortable as we bring you the legend of Black Annie.

The Red-Haired Girl was written by Sabine Baring-Gould and was part of a collection called, A Book of Ghosts, that was published in 1904.

We hope you enjoy it!

In this episode, we bring you a special monster edition from Churubusco, in Whitley County, Indiana.

In this episode, we share a chapter from our book Haunted Dearborn County, Indiana, which was released today and is available wherever you buy books and at www.arcadiapublishing.com.  We hope you enjoy Chapter 10 - The Aurora Public Library Hauntings.  

Today we bring you the history and lore of Indianapolis' own Hannah House. Built in 1858, this two-story brick mansion has been nicknamed “the house that reeks of death.”  

We're back with our third creepy story. "The Terror by Night" was written by E. F. Benson and was part of a collection, The Room in the Tower, and Other Stories, published in 1912.

In this episode, we bring you a tale about what we believe may be the best-known haunted house in the Wabash Valley, The Dewees-Preston-Smith House.  

We're back with our second creepy story. This one is a favorite of ours by author Mark Twain. This story is part of a collection of short stories in a book called “Sketches New and Old” published in 1875.

A Ghost Story starts as a very spooky tale and in true Twain fashion it ends with a humorous twist.  We hope you will enjoy his satire as much as we do.  

We bring you a special sneak peek at a project we have been working on. Toward the end of the year, we will be starting a second podcast called Hoosier Casefile, where we will discuss True Crime from the state of Indiana.
