http://proofparanormal.com/frightnightsAt 3801 Madison Avenue, the nearly 150 year old Hannah Mansion now sitsquietly amidst a highly-populated area of Indianapolis, Indiana; its dark historylong forgotten by most who pass it by. However, trapped within these walls isa tale too frightening for many to envision....
What many did not know about Alexander Hannah, a well known figure inthe Indianapolis community, was that his cellar doubled as a safe haven forrunaway slaves bound for Canada; a stop on the Underground Railroad. Hannah risked his own life to help get others to freedom, however, this led toan unforeseeable tragedy that has affected its occupants to this very day.
One night, as slaves slept down in the cellar, one of their lanterns wasaccidentally spilled to the floor, instantly spreading fire throughout the room. Many of them were actually able to get out with their lives, yet several werekilled by the blaze and by inhaling its smoke.
Since then, images of spectral slaves have been seen hiding in the cellar. People report being touched and having their hair pulled gently. Also, a ghostlyolder woman has been reportedly witnessed in and around an upstairsbedroom, and the ghost of Hannah himself has been seen all over the property,perhaps still holding onto feelings of responsibility for the slaves he onceprotected. Stories of the infamous house can be found in nearly a dozen booksand several dozen internet sites. Now you can stay the night in the houseyou've been hearing about for years!Wonder if we can rent this place out like Lemp? Sounds like fun... They only show one available date through this group, but I wonder if I call directly - if we would be able to rent it out.
