The mansion stood empty for many years, suffering from vandalism and neglect. Today, this magnificent building is being restored by a descendant of the original builder, G.W. Adams. The history of Prospect Place Mansion includes drama, intrigue, undying hospitality, and a plethora of death. A short description of its colorful past will unveil its powerful appeal.
The Boggstown Cabaret is a small, family oriented entertainment venue that has a style all its own. At the Boggstown Cabaret the audience becomes part of the show, contributing to the humor that goes right along with the music. The building was built in 1873 and was home to the first ‘Red Man’s Lodge’ in the state. Found in the quaint town of Boggstown, Indiana, it sits next to what was once the Seventh Day Adventist Home for Unwed Mothers. The building has a long and rich history that not only includes serving as the town General Store and Barber Shop for many years, but also includes many reports of paranormal activity.

The Crump Theatre, which was once an Opera Hall, date of origin is uncertain. Located on Washington Street in Columbus, Indiana, some say the Crump opened its doors in 1874. Other sources suggest that the Crump Theatre was hosting entertainment as early as November 1872. Regardless of the actual opening date of the Crump, its massive structure, architectural design, and historical significance (especially to the City of Columbus) cannot be denied. The Crump has been renovated multiple times throughout the years but has managed to hold onto some very intriguing designs that range from a ‘Crying Room’ (used for mothers to take un-happy babies during a show), to a projector room that was rigged to entrap and most likely kill the projectionist in the event of a fire, to save the audience. Not to mention the rumors of tunnels that led from the Crump’s basement to an old hotel across the street. To learn more about the Crump you can visit www.historiccolumbusindiana.org/jscrump.htm. To read first-hand accounts of our investigations (and the wild events that happened) check out the SPI Files section. We look forward to returning to the Crump, and have big plans for the future that involve the Crump! Stay tuned for more info!
Central State Hospital:Though this was not a full investigation we felt it was necessary to write about this one. Central State Hospital, largely coveted by paranormal investigators who either have or want to investigate it, is a large campus type of facility that was used as an asylum from 1885 to around 1996. We had the opportunity to conduct an authorized visit to this location with strict restrictions, including a 90 minute time limit, but seem to have had more activity going on in that 90 minute time frame than in any other full investigation we have done to date. Armed with only some hand-held equipment, we went into this location expecting a night of exploration that would be lacking any paranormal activity, but came out of it with a whole new opinion of what might lurk these hallways! In the near future we will be posting an article about our experiences in the SPI Files section, which also means we will be allowed to share some of the evidence we captured. Check back often… you won’t want to miss this one!!! Hope to see ya soon!
The Guyer Opera House, is located on US 40 in Lewisville, Indiana. Guyer Opera House was one of many Midwestern ‘Opera Houses’. The Guyer was erected on the site of Dr. O.K. Guyer’s former medical practice and home after a gas explosion demolished a large portion of downtown Lewisville. Today, the Guyer Opera House has a history that is riddled with stories of paranormal activity. The history of the building, though a bit sketchy, does reveal the death of a young boy that was in the audience during a show. Some claim the boys spirit still visits the location of his death from time to time. To learn more about the Guyer Opera House you can visit www.guyeroperahouse.net.
