Ghost Hunting in Mulberry, IN

Halloween is coming just around the corner and I though it fitting that I share a ghost hunting experience with you. So this time last year, my friends and I decided we wanted to go to some haunted places to get us into the Halloween Spirit. We looked online and found this place on Hamilton Road in Mulberry, IN. There were a multitude of places along that road that were deemed 'haunted'. (For more haunted places in Indiana click here.)

The first of these was the three one-lane bridges on Hamilton Road. Once you came to third bridge, you should stop in the middle and flash your lights three times and then go. It is said that a short man can be seen chasing after the car. The first time we tried this out, my roommate all of a sudden screamed and burrowed into my shoulder crying. She swears up and down that she could see the ghost running behind us. This is her description of him: he was a short man in overall's, a straw hat on his head and a bandanna around his neck. His shirt was blue while the overalls were tan. None of the rest of us saw anything, even though we repeated it about 10 more times.

Next, we were supposed to stop in the middle of these old-looking train tracks, put baby powder on the back bumper of the car, turn off all the lights and wait. You were supposed to be able to see and hear a train coming and then you got out and would see baby fingerprints on your bumper. This was a total fluke! We tried it a few more times but nothing happened at all.

Lastly, there was this old, fallen apart cemetery alongside the road. This, I have to say, is the creepiest place I have ever been. The tombstones were all falling apart and cracked. Woods surrounded the place and there wasn't another around house for at least a mile. Half of our group started to walk towards the back, where it was supposed to be haunted, but they couldn't make it. The place was just too chilling.

This adventure gets a rank of 6. It will cause your heart to race and shivers down your spine. Sometime this Halloween, get out there and investigate a haunted place near you. It's a lot of fun with friends, but just make sure you have some brave people in the group to hold on to!
