Get the guide to Indiana ghosts that’s two books in one: part armchair reader and part ghost hunting guide!

Mansions where sad deaths occurred and where spirits walk, murderers and kidnappers whose foul crimes seem to be punished from beyond the grave—countless ghost stories have been passed on for generations, joined by modern folktales that raise the hair on the head and stir the imagination. Wanda Lou Willis, one of Indiana’s most popular folklorists, has carefully researched and collected 78 frightening tales that will provoke and amuse even the most skeptical reader.

Enjoy these stories from the safety of home, or become a ghost hunter. Utilize maps and driving directions for the haunted locations that are open to the public. Journey to Hazelcot, the deserted dream mansion in Whitley County; to the tomb of riverboat captain Francis McHarry along the Ohio River, where ships pay homage to avoid the ghost’s curse; and to the bridges near Avon, where who-knows-what will occur on Halloween.

Whether you’re a horror fan, a history buff, or a traveler looking to explore Indiana like never before, Haunted Hoosier Tales is for you. Share it with friends around a campfire, or try the stories alone at home—if you dare.

Inside you’ll find:

• 78 ghostly tales from haunted locations
