Thank you Rachel for sharing your story about the true “Pest House” in Knightstown. I am not sure if it was your family or not that I talked to as part of my research for a documentary / movie back in the 1993-94 time frame. I was working with a Las Vegas film company at time while going to college for film. I lived in New Castle at the time, now live in Indianapolis. Unfortunately the budgeting for the film took to long to finalize and I went onto other projects. But I still think it would make a great documentary, if you are interested. At that time it was being remodeled also, and the man I met who owned the house and whom gave us a tour of the house, I think only lived with his wife in the house at the time. They were trying to restore the house to the original period style, with some modern amenities added in to make it functional. I do volunteer with a paranormal group, while I do my paying day job. But I am sure you have had enough people investigating your house over the years and I do not want to interfere in yours or your family’s life or have you end up with unwanted people in your front yard. But if you would like to talk some time about your experiences, we do not charge for our investigations, you can contact us at 317-883-9104.

This house’s repuatation as haunted originated after being used as a Civil War hospital. Between that time and the smallpox outbreak of 1902 it was used as a clinic to quarantine people with mental and infectious diseases. Many people from the 1860s to 1920s died and were buried on the property. I have been in the and around the house and heard scores of stories about it. Henry County has a well documented history of the property easily available.

i used to live near there as a baby. my mother lived in that town along with my grand parents and great grandparents. My mom said every day she would have to drive past it to go to school and she would close her eyes because it was so scary. since it is up on a hill, she could see it out her window at night. She also told me that they buried the people in the hills on/ around the house.

My roommate’s family currently lives in this house. We’re in college, so she lives here at school most of the time, but when she goes home, that’s her house.
