I have lived in Lizton all my life, and visit Danville regularly. I am also interested in the supernatural, so I visited both bridges. I never seen or heard anything, although I was uneasy... But about the scary building on 136 by the jail, it isn't some kind of "crazy house". It's more of a nursing home-like facility for people with no or low income persons. My mother-in-law works there and has for 15 years. She said the place isn't scary at all and she has never seen or heard anything out of the ordinary, and none of her patients have ever made a comment of seeing or hearing anything weird? Just because the building is old and creepy looking, doesn't make it haunted....or an insane asylum! I have some information about both places in Danville.

My friend has a picture of a ghost in a trench coat in the gym. It is creepy. Has anybody heard anything about the Danville high schools auditorium being haunted? I know people who have reported weird stuff in there. Hit me up if you know anything. Yes the Jr. Is haunted and I went to school there for a year and a half.

I lived in the brick house on the corner of Gibson and North streets overlooking the park. Seems to be a little confusion of the hauntings in Danville from what I've grown up hearing. The origional jail was 1 block south of the southeast corner of the courthouse and yes there was a tunnel from it to the courthouse, I have seen the wall where it was filled in after electrical and plumbing was installed in it. The mental house on the hill as far as I recall has always been a retirement home funded by the county. Although, in the early '90's I worked for the town of Danville and was directed to take a truck to that building to haul away junk and upon entering the basement discovered small rooms resembling what at one time bars on the fronts of these rooms. I saw the rusted anchor points on the floors as well as on the walls of each of these rooms. Why those anchors were in those walls I can only guess. Growing up as a kid fishing in the old railroad pond as it was known just west of the twin bridges, (one steel, one concrete) behind the Kroger store I have camped out in the concrete one at night to have something to do before the next morning to collect the old glass insulators from the old power poles laying on the ground, collecting black raspberrys for mom to make pies as well as wild strawberries. I do know of the Tuberculosis sanitarium on the county road due north of the Avon bridge on the west side of that road that has several vertical pillars on the front porch. As for the railway worker falling in the concrete form, I doubt they would have left him in there because his body would have created a void in the form and directly effect the bridge structurally. I have heard of the woman and the baby but can't recall the first time I heard it, probably 1967 or 1968. Before Parkridge addition above the park built in about 1972 or so there was a house that had been abandoned for years that was supposede to have been haunted because of a murder that had taken place in the 1940's. As I recall that house had an old driveway accross the street from the Ford implement dealer on old US 36. I also happen to know there was a drowning in the park creek at the old site of the swinging bridge, due east of the tennis courts that gained local attention to the people skinny-dipping in the creek which led to the construction of the 1'st swimming pool in Danville where the liquor store sits now years before the Gill family donated money for the pool in it's current location. One last interesting fact of this area, if you drive into the Conservation Club and walk south of the dam and look back at it, you'll see it was a bridge years ago for the interurban owned by the Indianapolis Traction Company. The next bridge west is the popular one in the park. Nice site here, I'll stop by more often as I think of anything else. Harley I was born in 1959 and moved to Danville in 1963 where I grew up.

We had always heard that a man fell in while the cement was being poured and his saw was still sticking out of the cement. A group of us went up into the bridge one night and I did see with my own eyes a old rusty saw sticking out of the cement. I don't believe in ghosts but it was scary and I did see the saw. Also my grandmother who was born about 1896 went to Hargrave Hall which used to be a college. I have her graduating class from there and also her report card. Only had to go a short time to become a teacher, thinking about giving the things I have of hers from Hargrave Hall to the Danville historical society. I want to go into Hargrave Hall sometime.

I've always wondered about the Mental Place on the hill.. does look creepy. And yes the Jr. High is Haunted. If you look at the building you can see on the right side were the old original building stands.. The basement down there has wierd feelings at times like your being watched (its the old gym). One of the teachers sons reportedly saw a ghostly image that was cleaning the back stairs to the old gym. I've had to be there a couple times when I had forgot things at school and I would get a watched feeling. I don't know if it is still in there but there used to stand a painting of Mr. Hargrave himself I myself went to Danville schools and lived there most my life..

I am also from Danville. As far as I know and from what I was told there is a tunel from the mental hospital to the court house. Not in use any more of course. The mental hospital was at one time a jail from what I was told. I love ghost stories and do believe in the supernatural. I'm sorry I don't know anymore of that place but day or nite when you look at it while driving by it is SCARY!!!!! The bridge thing I used to go to both of the birdges in Danville all of the time (the one in the park and by Kroger) I believe that there is something at both places. Just not sure what it is. For me I felt sadness like there was nothing else to do. I was told that the woman's name was Mary but who really knows? I was also told that if you say her name three times in the mirror that you will see her. I tried it and nothing happened. The sad thing is that kids play tricks and people back in the day did not keep good records of any thing. So who really knows. And what about the house on old 36 as you go up the hill past the mental hospital across the street way in the back. It might not be there anymore. My Grandma told me that a really evil man had lived there and killed his family. I asked her if she knew him and she said she didn't want to talk about it anymore. And we never did. So does anyone have any info on that old place. That's what I was looking for when I found this. And is the Jr. High really haunted? I know at one time the far end was a collage. You know the really old part. We were told in Jr. High that it was. But is it? I wouldn't be surprised. I do know where you can see ghosts in pictures that are in a public place. And is so cool!!! That's if they are still there, and the pictures are of the Danville Court House long time ago. Hey Jason I was also wandering when someone would say something about that mental place.
