Hannah House
This is house is said to have been built by a German immigrant upon arrival in the United States. During the nineteenth century, this house served as a station on the underground railroad. History says that there was a terrible fire one evening and all the slaves were burned to death in the basement. In order to maintain their secrecy, the owners walled up the section of the basement that held the dead bodies. Many have reported hearing screams and moans from the basement. In an upstairs room, a woman died in agony. Today, the room is plagued by blood drenched walls, the stench of decaying flesh, and the sound of a shrill female scream.

i have been to the hannah house mainly on halloween, you can get private tours for $5 so i plan on doing that. however i have been investigating the nicholson mansion on southport and mann, and have over 130 photos and about 20 spirits/ghosts. they seem to like me. i go by there and capture their picture every time. they have made my camera not work a couple of times, but they don’t cause no harm to me. they have made people move out. but the man that is there, shares the same name as the son of the builder, he is hardly there, and has no family. they are comfortable as far as the “residents”, and there is a porthole.
it’s fascinating:)

I had my wedding reception at the Hannah House. I have always been interested in paranormal activity, and the house was beautiful, so I was excited to have it there. While we were there, as the guests were touring the rooms, one of them noticed that the curio type cabinet in the upstairs northeast bedroom was not sitting on the floor. It was attached to the wall, and if moved it revealed a hidden passage way. There is also access to the passage from the kitchen. There were a couple doors along the passage, all were locked. The property manager was present at the time of the reception, and he was EXTREMELY upset that the passage had been discovered. He was being very secretive. He did take us into the basement after being asked repeatedly. I didn’t notice any paranormal activity, but I was also extremely busy with the reception. I must say, there is definitely a strange energy in the house.

I went to the Hannah House 2 years ago for their annual tour, just around Halloween. The first time we went in there was the smell of cigar smoke. Several cold spots. The second time we went in we took our camera and have several picture s of orbs and stuff. In the basement in front of the wall where the canned vegtables are and have been there for ever!!!! There is a picture of me in a chair and there is a rocking chair right next to me with an indention in the chair as if someone is sitting there. I have even been into the Hannah house when they used to put on a real haunted house and had to stop because it was damaging the home. Part of the maze is still in the basement. I suggest don’t go expecting to see anything. Then hope that you do. I am not sure if they are doing the tour this year or not, but a tour of Centreal State Mental hospital would be great! I heard that place is very active with ghost.

Hey Nikki,
You comment fascinates me. I would very much like to see your photos. I went by the mansion tonight and the house had lights on but there was no sign of residents. Very eerie looking as if it were staged to keep people from snooping around. Would you please send me some photos and I promise they will only be used for my own person use. I will not pass them on or publish them on any website without your express written consent. Thank you for considering my request whatever you decide. Bambamb39@yahoo.com

I worked at the hannah house for a couple of years. We all seen some crazy things. I am a true believer of this house being haunted. We seen and felt things that I had never experienced in my life. I still go there sometimes. I feel the hairs stand up on my neck as soon as we see the house. It is the spookiest house I’ve ever been in.

Nikki,
I would love to see some of the photo’s too. I grew up right by this house and one day some friends and I went over to take pictures with a brand new digital camera and after taking the first picture the camera turned off and would not turn back on. Then all of the sudden bright flashing lights started flickering everywhere like something started taking pictures of us it was so scary.

I have lived in Indianapolis my whole life,know the owners of this house have toured it as well as worked there. There have never been “blood drenched walls” those are just rumors to make it sound more scary than it really is. And the smell is not of decaying flesh it is of the perfume that the previous owners great grandmother used it still lingers.Any questions or comments contact me.

Regarding the Nicholson Mansion, there are people living there. I was unsure of it for a while because it always looks abandoned during the day. I go to the University of Indianapolis, so I drive by the mansion everyday, and last night when I drove by, there were Christmas lights and a Christmas tree turned on. Therefore, I have to assume that someone still lives there. Just be careful driving around there and don’t get out a starting walking around their property. Just because it’s haunted doesn’t mean you can’t get arrested for trespassing.

hi, I haven’t checked here for awhile. the man that owns the mansion is putting a lot of money and time into it. and I know that they do not like that. I have been researching this mansion for over a year. I have census records and all that. The little girl that was in the newspaper, she was standing in the front window the very first time I went there, along with an older woman. I have caught so many that I describe them each differently. there is an indian, a man that is very angry, several children, a woman in all black with long grey hair, and others. I have too much to say it all now. VERY INTERESTING PLACE!

Ok, well my hubby and I watch ghost hunters and are skeptics. I do believe in ghost. But I don’t believe that every single old house is haunted. I also know that most of the time there is a logical explination for things. (Notice I said “most of the time”) We have visited some “haunted” places and never seen anything. Tonight he is at the Hannah House with a team of investigators. My grandfather went to school with a guy who lived there. They were friends, he never heard of anything wierd going on. Now maybe the kid was told not to say anything or was scared he’d be ridiculed. I don’t know. We know all the storys and things. But seriously they only do these “investigations” once a month. How easy is it to set people up for things. I mean make “smells” appear, make “sights” appear. Yes, it’s an old beautiful house. It will be an experience for him.

I have been to the Hannah House many times. One was for a wedding on the steps outside of the house. It’s a very beautiful house. I must admit that I did not see anything funny going on during the wedding or the time I was there.
I’ve also been a few times to the Haunted House they have every Halloween, and nothing out of the ordinary there. It’s a beautiful house.

I could tell you if it was truely haunted.
I can see spirits and talk to them. If I go there and find out it’s not haunted, I feel sorry for everyone who got tricked.
