how do u get there? everyone i ask does not know the directions. also does anyone know of any other haunted places around here???

Hey, its on the 109 as you enter knightstown. you cant miss it, just google “morgan pest house” and you will see the picture of the one in knightstown..but just so you know, its a private resident, dont go bothering the owners. I asked where it was not knowing i drive passed it every day, they had been renevating for the past 4-6months and I had just moved to town. Funny enough turns out it was the house I told my husband I wanted to buy when we first looked at knightstown to buy a house, we loved it, however it wasnt for sale or in our price range. For some reason I didnt even think that was the house, it doesnt scare me at all, infact i think its a home I would for sure want to buy. If only I was rich.

The Pest House is in Knightstown Indiana. I’ve lived there most of my life and have been in the house. It was open to the ill when the plague hit town and most, if not all of the people that died were buried on the grounds. Things have been thrown out of borded up windows, a lady in black has been seen multiple times, its just an all over creapy house. A family lives there now but for years it stayed empty after the old residences moved away about 15 years ago.

please– this story is a crock.

The pest house is right down the road from me and the story is that a man went to see the owners and when he knocked a creepy old women opened the dorr, said noone was home, then closed it. he was walking to his car when the owners pulled in. he said if they hired a maid and they said no. He said there was an old lady that opened the door. they went inside and the old lady was never to be found in the house…..Scary scary scary..right know two kids go to my school that know live there. thay have never said that the have saw anything ….BUT the girl does not like me so she won’t talk to me….

this is a cool thing

I spent most of my childhood in May’s Indiana, May’s is a small place with an elemantary school, a post office a bank and a small store. I lived 3 houses drown from the store in the inactive funeral Home, I encounter quite a bit when I was younger, I once woke up after a nap to an older woman petting my head. Telling me that I shall not worry and that everything will be all right, One christmas we woke up to ghost playing with our toy’s in which my mother snapped a polaroid, it showed up well in the picture, but that picture has been long gone. if i happen to find it… i will post a link to it from my photobucket

I live in knightstown and i go by there almost every day. the true story is that in the 1920s it was a heart hospital. many people died in there and the backyard is a graveyard. i have friends that live there and when i spend the night we will walk in the door and there is blood on the floor. and yes like on the other posts there is a lady in a black dress that walks around in the house. NEVER GO THERE!

The house that your telling stores about I live in you may not believe me but the only thing that is true about the house in the article is that it used to be a hospital. The history of the Pest House (7014 west county line road Knightstown, Indiana) is a long colorful history that I have researched from a very young age. Me and 6 others in my family in it we have had the Ghostbusters come twice yes they have found things but everyones house has ghosts. I have lived in the house my whole life and nothing spectacular has happened its like any other house just older.

Rachel, you know when I first looked at purchasing a house in Ktown, I saw the house when we came down the road and I told my husband that if I had the money I would want to by THAT house, having no clue of the past of the house, but to be honest with you, I think it is a gorgeous home and now that I know the history of the home, it doesnt change what I first thought when i saw it, its a very lovely home and well maintaned. Love it.

wait, we arent talking about the same house, your refering to this house right http://www.hcgs.net/PestHouse.jpg or this one your not refering to this one right http://facweb.furman.edu/~bensonlloyd/hst41/h41p04.jpg (the morgan house) Im refering to the morgan house, which I believe is on 109?!?!

natalie, the first link you have is the Pest House, and yes the second one is actually on 40 (main st). they do kinda look alike but theres a few houses in knightstown that have that same kind of structure to it. thought the pest house is the only one i’ve ever heard stories about and i’ve lived in knightstown for almost 20 years.

My houseparent from the indiana soliders and sailors childrens home told me about this house. She said it was really creepy. She knows i love going to places like this and i really cant wait to go.

I agree with Rachel, who should be considered the expert on it since she lives there! I think there is more legend than haunting at the “Pest House”. But, I’m sure it has had its interesting moments – right, Rach? If you are looking for it on HWY 109, you are looking in the wrong place. That 109 house was built nearly identicle to the old hospital house (same builder I’m told, and from the same time frame). But, it isn’t the right one! The real house is tucked neatly back in the woods on a dark, winding road just outside of town. The location probably adds to its legendary ominous status. Stories of the old house have been passed along through several generations of kids around here. I’ve lived in KTown for a long time and have heard each generation add its own little twist to the story. The older stories say it was a plague hospital and the dead were buried on the grounds or in the woods nearby in unmarked graves. The family’s didn’t claim their dead for fear of the plague. But, as far as I know, the family living there hasn’t had any major complaints. The house is actually quite beautiful.

The house in the picture from Natalie, called the Morgan House, is on US 40 (Main Street), just west of the BP gas station and just east of a funeral home. The house on 109 just north of US 40 is often mistaken as the Pest House. KTown has many beautiful historic homes. It is a shame that so many of them become apartments.

The pest house is NOT located on 109 it is on west county line road across blue river, I lived 4 houses down from it for years, Whoever says the house on 109 is the “Pest house” is wrong!

i have been in the house im with a group who will stay the night there friday for 5 weeks i went in the first time and i felt a tap and heard a woman screaming and we have footage of suspucious activity we called the cops and they wouldnt come dont know why but its freaky in there and i wouldnt want to live there
