i have visited the ruthmere mansion dozens of times over the past 25 years of my life and the only thing that is haunting ruthmere are these ridiculous comments about it being haunted. my opinion, it is NOT haunted. i will tell you one in elkhart that is. 3 blocks west of main st. on lexington ave. on the right. some reference this home site as “the hole” it’s green built in late 1920’s. it”s spoooky, i lived there once.

Ruthmere Executive Director, if you really are the Director. Two things, first there is no such thing as bad Publicity. People are going to believe these things (it’s an old building) and there is nothing you can do about it. Second, If I wanted to say that both places are haunted I can do that. If I wanted to say that Ruthmere house is full of fake art and False history. I can not do that, because that is slander. All that some one saying that Ruthmere is haunted is going to do is get you people touring the Museum which brings Revenue which is something that you want! People come to these sites because they are interested and a bit open to these possabilitys. Yes there are people above that don’t believe that Ruthmere is haunted and that is fine. If they are going to tour it is because they are interested in the history and educational purpose. If they tour because they hear that it is haunted the worst thing for you is that you have to tell them that it is not haunted and they have still spent money there! I havent lived in Elkhart very long, this is the first time I have heard anything about the Ruthmere and I intended on touring it with my wife before this anyway. I don’t care if it is or not because I am a proude Spiritualist and it is natural to me to hear storys from people about this sort of thing. I want to tour Ruthmere because of it’s history factor, I like history and not because it may or may not be haunted. So don’t get so excited when some one says that it is Haunted, you can just tell them that you have not had a personal experience with anything of the sort. Thank you very much for opening your doors for the public. Sincerly, John

well i dont know if it is really haunted or not but my grandfather used to janitor there and when i toured the place I had nightmares for days after about the basement. when i went along time ago the ballroom was closed down due to “remoldeling” anyway my fav room in the house is the greenroom and the womans bedroom…i love the place and if it wasnt so expensive to tour it I would tour it more

I dunno about the High Dive tower being haunted, but I do know I peed off of the top of it one morning at about 5:30am while out fishing there. I guess that the ghost must not be easily offended, or it must’ve been amused by it, ’cause I never heard a thing (other than my buddy’s laughter).
