I do not believe the story that people claim about a decapitation, but I do believe that a murder of a family took place there. My father told me that when he was younger and lived near to the home, he remembers walking with my grandmoter(whom was also murdered shortly after) that road was all taped off and a murder had taken place of a man that killed his family. He had burried the bodies of the family in the barn accross the road. When I was about 16 my father and I were really big into ghost hunting and we visited the home long before it was torn down. We went during the day first and then returned at night a few times to take pictures. While we were there in the day time, we had found nothing, but we did see an old vehicle sitting in the garage and the windows were mostly boarded up. When we returned that same day, it was about to get dark and we were sitting in the truck waiting for it to darken. I heard what seemed like a scream and then a dog barking. I asked my dad if he had heard it and he said :yes: then right when it had gotten dark, I heard what sounded like a snap of a branch. I asked my father did you hear that? he said :yes: When it had finally gotten completely dark, we got out of the truck and went up to the house and started snapping pictures with 2 different cameras through the holes in the boarded up windows and the outside of the home. When we got them developed, my fathers pictures had nothing strange or unusual in the but mine did. In my photos, I had see a few strange objects. The first picture i had taken was an inside view from the window and seen what looked like a body wrapped in a white bed sheet on the floor. i didnt see it when i looked in. in the other pictures that i had taken, i just snapped the rest to get out of there. i discovered that in 4 of the same pictures that i had taken, they were in a small room and the door was in all pictures. when you looked at all 4 pictures, the door was either opening or closing. they were all different degreeses or angles. The next day that we discovered these pictures, we returned in the day time and walked around the barn. I peeked into a whole that was in the door to the barn. i was too afraid to go in but i didnt see anything. After that visit, we just drove by the home a few times at dusk and in the front room window, there had been a lamp lit or an oil lamp. it would be on sometimes and sometimes as dark as it could be. I dont know the whole story but I believe something horrible happened there and the latest i heard it was torn down.

i was wondering what the adress was to this place

Wolfe Mansion is in Portage, IN. Not South Haven.

This house is also called old man dewey which is located on 125 west, you can’t get inside though.

tht is some realy scary **** right there who could have did tht to their family like tht.

i went to check out the place and it did have an eerie feeling about it when i first went there. but i had to know the true story the facts are that a man and his wife lived there they had no children and the story is false i went to the library and looked up the deweys and when they passed away so sorry everyone but i think there is a dewey house in every town gives everyone a place to go and think of the unthinkable if you look it up theres a dewey house in elgin illinois also so dont always believe what you hear. the people from valpo were just dairy farmers.better luck next time finding a true haunted house.

My husbands grandfather was Elmer Wolf. Josephus was my husband’s Great Grandfather. These were fine hardworking people, well respected. Elmer is buried is WA state. We have some pictures of their lovely mansions, from the late 1800’s and later. You can read more about them online, under Wolfe Family History, by Nora Atkinson Wolfe.

look i live by valpo and if you dont have proof then i know your lieing about the haunted house show proof next time

I grew up in Valparaiso and never did I hear about this place. The only place that I know of being haunted is the old mental hospital.

This house is by far the strangest place I have yet to find.
The for sale sign on the outside of the fence is rediculous for the amouunt of land and property.
Someone wants people out of that house and they want to keep it that way.

I’ve been there twice.
The first time was a hysterical mess.
Literally.
After getting past the intital scare its a neat place.
Old yearbooks and sweet records consume the house that is hard to walk through.
Needless to say the first visit was a fun one.

After the visit last night I will NEVER step foot in that house again.
We walked halfway up the trail when a friend of mine started crying hysterically.
We all thought she was just scared so we took her back to the car.
We decided to go back.
…not so smart lol.
She wanted to stay outside by herself rather than go into the house.
but she went anyway.
As we were half way through the basement she started freaking out.
I thought she was kidding so we just kept going.
We left.
Halfway down the trail back to the car she started sobbing and screaming.
I was starting to believe her.
Withing the next 30 minutes she completely lost it.
SHe stopped breathing.
Alongside her screaming and crying we got out that it was terrible.
That no one understood.
He “didnt go crazy” something made him crazy?
She said we needed to not let anyone go there….
blah blah blah.
By then I was convinced that she was insane.
She is a very level headed person and never does things like that.
She cried for hours on end and said it wasnt fair.

Please do not go there.
I dont know what the hell is up with that.

this is freaky..i would like to go see this one day. I love haunted places even though sometimes i hesitate to go some places they are a lifetime experience! This seem like so much fun!!

The place is called Wolf mansion, and IT IS IN SOUTH HAVEN!!!!!! And I have proof of the house, lived right down the road from it. And it is said to be haunted. Several movies have been filmed there. i.e. Bloodbath in Psycho Town. (I own the movie : ) )It is on the corner of Wolf Rd. and 700 N. It is a historical site. Someone lives there, but many have always moved out. It was built by Josephus Wolf in the late 1800’s. LOOK IT UP PEEPS who keep says that they live in Valpo and never heard of the place, That is an outrage!!!! Get out once in awhile! There are a lot of rumors of the place, I have investigated there, and have only come up with a disturbing yelling on my EVP that could have been traffic possibly. Want pictures, I got them!

Any way the current residents would let a group into the house for a night? Love to see the pictures of this place and any paranormal evidence you may have!

I doubt it Rich. People who have lived there have had to deal with people on their property and not asking for their permission. But people don’t usually live there for too long. Not sure how to post pics on here, but I can definetly send you some if you’d like.

just curious. you never know… but yes i’d still ike to see these pics.. kcid2k2@hotmail.com

thanks

this is the dewey house on brummer rd i grew up w this scary story and as a teanager made many excursions over the early 80’s every time somthing strange was heard not visual but strange winds out of the blue and shuffeling through the grass

hey i am also wondering if i can get directions to this place. i live in Valparaiso. me and my friends are paranormal investigators (ghost hunters) so if you could get directions e-mail me at travelconstantly@usa.com. lol(kind of)

The house is called Duey’s. We used to go there to get the **** scarred out of us. Back in 1994, we visited on a warm summer night, we all got out of the truck and started to walk around the fence. Finally we built up enough courage to go through the fence and headed toward the back towards the side of the house. Next thing u know we have a ton of dogs and a old man all charging at us. The dogs were barking so loud and the man was carrying a gun. We were all running so fast to the truck and when we finally got in, I turned to look back and there was no man there anymore, just dogs. Weird huh??? Never went back after that!!!!

well i went back last year(last time i was there)i was on the path going torwards his house there was somthing that ran right in front of me. so then we ran back and drove away.

The House is tore down. The only thing still standing is the barn. I’ve tried going back to look at the old news papers at the public libary and did not find anything about any family that was murdered there. I’ve been there many times over the years and if you build yourself up for it before you go its alittle creepy but its not haunted.
