Two of the most haunted places in Indiana could be named the Best Haunted Destination in America, with your votes.
This is the best time of year for a good scare. Haunted attractions are open everywhere. Perhaps you have already visited some. There's not a lack of haunted houses here in Indiana. In fact, there are so many that you might not have been to the one with the best scares. Of course, these haunted houses aren't actually haunted. As you know, they are full of actors dressed up with the intent to scare you. If you really want to get scared, you might want to visit an actual haunted house with unexplainable noises, voices, and apparitions
Now, there are a lot of haunted places throughout the state. Recently, we've discovered the most haunted house in Indiana, the most haunted restaurant in Indiana, the creepiest haunted library in Indiana, and the urban legend of a haunted cemetery found in Indiana. As it turns out, there are two haunted locations that are up for the USA Today's Reader's Choice Award for Best Haunted Destination in America. Let's take a look at them.
Two Indiana Locations the Running to be Named the Best Haunted Destination in America
USA Today recently released the nominees for the Best Haunted Destination in America. Out of all the options throughout the country, two Indiana haunted locations have made the cut. Perhaps you have heard of them, or maybe you're like me and just finding out about them. Either way, they sound pretty creepy!
Randolph County Asylum
Located in Winchester, Indiana, you will find the Randolph County Asylum. The asylum has hosted TV Shows like Paranormal Lockdown, Destination Fear, and Kindred Spirits and has served as a location for several movies. Here's what USA Today said:
Book a mini ghost hunt, private or public overnight investigation, or a flashlight tour of the historic and haunted Randolph County Asylum. The building's architecture is remarkably stunning, but be careful where you tread as you traverse the rest of the grounds, as there are at least 50 unmarked graves located on the property. The rooms, cells, and darkened hallways come alive at night — visitors have reported seeing faces in mirrors, young and old apparitions, and doors slamming shut on their own.
Roads Hotel
The Roads Hotel is located in Atlanta, Indiana and it is equally as creepy! According to USA Today:
The Roads Hotel, built in the late 1800s, has been featured on a variety of paranormal investigation shows and is known around Atlanta, Indiana, as a center of ghostly activity. If you'd like to explore the building and potentially experience the unexplained phenomena, attend a public investigation with a small group or a private exploration. Visitors have reported disembodied voices, footsteps, and flickering lights.
