Haunted Elkhart County

Along Indiana’s northern border, Elkhart County is a rich mixture of industry and agriculture, tradition and innovation–and it has a reputation for paranormal activity.

The Winchester Mansion is haunted by the eccentric Nellie Knickerbocker, who, rumor says, slept in her own coffin. The spirits of three former workers roam the Old Bag Factory. A scowling spirit in a nurse’s uniform once stalked the Clark Street Hospital while the Wilt House is home to a ghostly girl. A basketball player and mysterious organ music both play on at the Washington Township High School, and a former stagehand stalks the Bristol Opera House.
