Real Haunted Houses

Real Haunted House

On the Fence

Valpo, Indiana

This house was the site of Indiana’s most atrocious murders. A man came home after a tough day at work and snapped. He decapitated his entire family and placed their heads on fence posts. Before police arrived, the man shot himself in the mouth. Today, the house is haunted. Many have seen heads strewn throughout the house upon first glance only to later see them disappear.

I was just wondering if you had the location of, and directions to, this house. I’m doing a study on supernatural phenomena and it seems like a good place to check out.

It’s Brummitt Road. It’s right behind my house. I’ve heard there are some strange things that go on in the Dogwood Park area too after dark. If you remember, there used to be an abandoned house/Barn there. I am not sure if it is there anymore, but that place used to really be haunted. Both of these places are in Chesterton, not Valpo, but it is generally the same area.

Me, myself have not been there, but I would like to see this house I think the story is kind of far fetched and I think that the story, if it was real would have had more of a back ground to it. From what it sounds like a bunch of kids got bored and made up some story while they were drinking on some scary night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the story is true its down 700n which is 7mile road turn left on 125w. the house and garage sit on corner of road.but the story is he kill his family and kill the police officers that show up on the scene, then hung himself in the garage. the place is call old man deweys.and if you go down the road the last house on the left hand side is haunted too.if you turn the corner from that house and go down the road a bit,on the right hand side of the road is a cemetary and there are two trees in the back,if you walk between those trees you will die.

Hey this is a true story.Before they tore it down i went there when I was pregnant with my oldest whom is now 16. The Dewey house is very real .The part of the story thats missing is that after he killed his family in 1954 someone tried to buy the farm and house but when the workers went in and started to fix it up,they had layed a brand new wood floor down and a man fell thru landing on a pitchfork in his back. the other man who started to fix the basement up was killed in a strange way unsure of how but noone wass there for this to happen.After that noone would touch it. I went into the house and they had what look like some type of heads or eggs in jars with fluid. The old tv was facing toward the kitchen when we went in but when we left the tv was facing toward the door. He did kill his family and that place is still haunted.

The correct addresss is 125 W off of 700 North between Valparaiso and Chesterton. The stories all seem to add up and if you go out into the yard you can still hear the dogs parking . Also the outhouse is still outside and you’re supposed to open up the door and look in. DO NOT GO INSIDE THE HOUSE!!!! Only look through the windows and you will see the upstairs floor has fallen through! Do not go in!!!!!

Just for everyones info I am very familiar with the Dewey house and legends. There is infact no truth to the stories. I used legends around the area as a basis for a project I did in college and then debunked as many as I could. There was infact no murder that took place at the house and certainly no multiple murder of that sorts. The closest I ever found to the Dewey Case happened to a family named the Duncans. However the murder took place in April of 1955 and it was not in Indiana, though the man responsible was caught in Indiana and remained in a prison here dying shortly before trial. The Dewey house is a popular hang out for teens none the less. Last I heard they were planning on tearing the place down for fear of teens getting hurt while poking around within. Anyone who claims they have proof of this happening, well I would love to see it. I have spoken with various police who were on the force at that time as well as having combed through hundreds of articles and files searching for any proof on the alleged “Dewey Murders”.

ok i have been there and seen crazy things one of which was i was outside the gate and the first window on the right there was a curtain that was open and as i was looking around the outside of the house i looked back up at the window and the curtain was closed. my mother who had gone with me had claimed she seen the shadow of a man holding an ax. another thing that happend was i had climbed up onto the gate and had my hand on one of the posts and i had smelt this horrible rotting smell and then it was gone. so i dont care what anyone beleives i know its true i’ve been there and seen things.
