Stops on the Tour
The Old Porter County Home
Once regarded as one of Porter County's most haunted locations, this site served as a home for the insane, an asylum, and a poor farm since the late 1800s. It was closed in the 1980s and housed the county’s poor, infirm, and mentally ill individuals. The mentally challenged were kept in poorly lit basements with dirt floors behind wooden doors equipped with food tray slots. Many would find ways to escape, wandering down Route 2, only to be retrieved by local law enforcement and returned to their dungeon-like quarters. A forgotten cemetery and a chicken coop remain on the grounds, but the spirits still linger, as we'll reveal on this tour!
The Inn at Aberdeen
Our second stop is the charming Inn at Aberdeen, steeped in rich history and whispers of the past. Discover the tales handed down through generations and understand why this inn is a cherished stop on our tour.
The Old Heritage Inn (Now a Haunted Casey's Gas Station)
Once a historic inn, this location has transformed into a gas station with a ghostly twist. Uncover the eerie stories that linger in the shadows of this unique site, where history and the supernatural meet.
