thats so gay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!how did u come up with that!GAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY

yeah right you guys think this stuff is a joke but if you really open your eyes and paid attention the house you live in could very well be haunted

the is ****

I was wondering, cause i dont know the whole story, how many actually died in that house?

If so many of you disbelieve in the paranormal…why are you visiting the website??? I grew up hearing ghost stories everything from “the man who waves lanterns at passing trains” to “the voice that led them to money buried in the yard” Do I believe? I don’t really know. But I am curious!

I used to work with an older gentleman who knew the owners of this house (or at least the owners at that time)and had visited them often. He told me that the house was used during the small pox epidemic, and so became known as ‘the house of pestilence’. He spoke of it being very haunted and claimed to have experienced it first hand. Though the details of his account are unfortunately a bit vague to me now, his description of that house left enough of an impression that I never forgot the name. He certainly did not normally tell stories like that!

Our group is going to be investigating this home very soon with the agreemant of the owners. We will be the first paranormal investigating team to ever investigate the home.

Ok.. you all have it wrong my grandparents and their four kids (including my mom) lived in that house most of their lives. The house is haunted and the lady in the black dress didn’t answer the door when no one was home she would come and knock on the door be there one minute and gone the next, and she never threw furnature out the windows. My uncles have experienced many things in that house, to many stories to name but i can tell you that i remember being in that house when i couldnt even walk and seeing things that happened for no reason. I am not scared to go back though as no one who has lived there has ever been hurt, is the house haunted…yes i believe so and so does my whole family.

The “Pest House” was built by Charles Dayton Morgan and his wife, Alvira Woods Morgan sometime between 1867 and 1878. It is French Second Empire in style, and it sits high on a bluff overlooking Blue River and the Blue River Valley. It’s curved french-mansard roof and tall tower, along with the setting itself, loan it the “haunted house” appearance/atmosphere. When Mrs. Morgans health begain to fail, the family returend to thier former home in Knightstown. The house was closed down. When smallpox broke out in 1902, the city of Knightstown purchased the home from banker Morgan to use as a “Pest House” or isolation hospital. Patients were taken to the home via a spring-board wagon called “The Black Mariah.” It is pure speculation as to the number of deaths that ocurred in the home, but there are records available that list the names of the victims. Consult the Henry County Historical Society for exact details. The house does have a colorfull history behind it. Following the epidemic, a family by the name of Louis purchased the home. Mrs. Lewis and her husband were Purdue graduates in engineering. Mrs. Lewis herself put in a steam heating system, while her husband was abroad building bridges. After the Lewis family left the home, it set empty through the 1950’s and 1960’s. In the late sixties and early 1970’s it was purchased by an Indianapolis businessman, pretty much for the soul purpose for hosting Halloween parties. A local Knightstown/Indianapolis ad man and his wife purchased the home from him, and began serious restoration efforts in the early 70’s. The next owners were another local family.The wife is a newspaper journalist and wrote a series of articles depicting her years and experinces of living in what may very well be, Indiana’s most celebrated haunted house. Consult the Courier Times in New Castle Indiana for details of this series of newspaper articles. I’m not certain who the present owners are. The home sold again around 1995, and unfortunatley they’ve made some rather offensive and historically inacurate changes to the homes exterior, such as adding ugly aluminum storm windows, that do not fit the profile of the homes architecture. The house is sizeable, but given its proximity to Indianapolis, it would be nice to see the home purchased by someone with enough funds to restore the home to its orginal apperance, altough make note this would cost millions, not just hundreds of thousands. The house has provided generations of locals, substantual fodder for urban legand and folklore. The Morgans were a wonderful, accomplished, and interesting family. In conversations with Morgan family members now passed, they were not very fond of all the stories circulating around their family home. It was by their account, a happy home. The Morgans had six children. For factual information, please contact the two sources mentioned above.

I lived in Knightstown from 1978-1986 when I was a child. When I lived there, it was so small, if you’d blink, you’d miss the town. It was a safe place to raise kids. We had a horse farm on five acres. Buck Creek was practically in our backyard.

There was a house not far from Ernie’s Market that was extremely haunted, as was our own house on RR#1. Our toilet used to flush on its own. Bookcases would fall down on their own. My brother and I would hear spontaneous knocking on one wall in the basement, too.

On move-in day (I was 5), I was pushed down the stairs & had to go to the hospital. The fall broke my nose and split my top gums, requiring tons of stitches. My brother had an “imaginary friend.” He said he was an Indian man & sometimes you could hear my brother laughing and having long conversations with this “firend.”

We’d find arrowheads on our property and a lot of odd things happened.

Anyway, the house close to Ernie’s, my brother was 7 and my grandma was a realtor, hosting an open house that day. My mom said that he came up and hid behind her. He said that he wanted to leave because the people in the fireplace room wouldn’t stop talking to him. He was really frightened. I remember the house being creepy, but I’m not as “sensitive” to these things as my brother is. Anyway, Knightstown is a very old town with a long history. It wouldn’t shock me to know that there are other Haunted Hot Spots around.

When I was a kid , I lived in a haunted house I’m not going to give the address or anything , but anyway it was an old train depot, but later in the centuries it was turned into a 2 story house with an apartment like upstairs , and after a short time of my family moving in there , we started having weird things happen .
One there was an old piano that was left in there from the previous couple and it would play by itself , when you went upstairs you could just feel an unsettling air , and in one bedroom there was a way to the basement through the closet , and to the left right before you went down the stairs there was a door and it led to a room like , then every time it stormed you could hear really strange things , then one time we had changed the light bulb in the upstair bathroom and kitchen and when ever you went to turn them on they wouldn’t turn on .
Then if you walked out of the room and walked back in and try it the lights would come on , late at night you could hear things . It was really creepy , then after a few years of living there , we moved out of the house and some new buyers had bought it and remodeled it ,
But if they ever had experienced any of those things we don’t know , cause we moved out of Indiana and the that was the last time we were ever in that house .

first i live there and its noy haunted its a nice place to live i have lived there my whole life duh
