Haunted Hoosier History

Reports of ghosts and paranormal activity have been associated with several historical buildings in Indianapolis, including the Central Library Branch of the Indianapolis Public Library.

Other locations, such as the Indiana Repertory Theatre, the Indianapolis Athletic Club, and the Hedback Theatre, have also reported claims of spirits lingering after hours.

From having been the former Director of Central Library before I took this position, we’ve had several different paranormal investigations over the years, and while a ghost never reached out and tapped anybody on the shoulder during those investigations, their various meters and sensing instruments did record activity.

According to Mike Williams, senior manager of archives, resources and delivery for IndyPL,

if one were to believe in ghosts, Central is almost certainly haunted.
