The crying house has a story like any other haunt. People were killed, the house abandoned, and now haunted. We investigated this house over 30 times and we just keep going back. Why? It is a Level 2-3 Haunt almost always. The children who died there are still playing, you can hear them run across the floor. There is also a spirit in the home, which can become violent and become a prankster. We call this the Daemon of the home. The ghosts of the children go quiet and the Daemon wonders. Sometimes slamming a door or worse a shove down the stairs. Worse yet is what is in the basement. The old coal shoot where the children and the man's grandmother were buried. Sitting in this place gave you a bad feeling right away; it only took a few minutes for something to go wrong. The temperature changes from 41 degrees to 3! It felt like someone was dumping a bucket of cold water on my back, then suddenly then chair under me was being pulled from under me! I ran and as I passed my crew the questioned what was going on and then my field engineer Val screamed and ran passed me! Outside she explained the same thing I had just felt an ice-cold touch and a push...a push out of the basement.
When we return to this house in the summer we plan to invoke the spirit of the house. This Daemon will either be dismissed or I am going to really piss it off. We can not disclose how we are doing this; it’s a theory I (Jason Sullivan) have come up with on dismissing permanently a Ghost. If the device works we will list it later.
Bachelors Grove
Established in 1840 by German immigrants from the Bremen area of Germany, Bachelor Grove is said to be one of the most haunted sites in the US and one of the most haunted sites in the world! Many people were buried here and their graves destroyed. The site is also an old dumping ground for the mob. Stories of and old 30's or 40's model car trying to run people off the road. Sometimes in the darkest time of the night, the Lady in White walks through the woods and down the trail leading back into the cemetery. The stories area never old, and the experiences are always reoccurring. This is a great place to check out. Remember this, go during the day, the local police watch this area, and have no problem giving out tickets. Besides, ghost doesn’t punch in at midnight.
We explored this old cemetery many times over two years. It is a solid Level 1-2 Haunt. We have had EMF (Electric Magnetic Field) readings, cold spots, and check out our pics on the "Ghost Pics" page. The ghost of Dora Newman floating in the trees, Orbs, and mist. We found the old well and if you watch our show on Bachelors Grove, you'll see me find the disappearing house on film and the first recorded ghost caught on tape by Midwest haunts.... DURING THE DAY!

Gypsies Graveyard Crown Point Indiana
The story of Gypsies Graveyard started in the mid 1800's The story tells the tale of a group of Vistani or best known as "Gypsies". The local male residents started to trade with the group, but the woman had a problem with the Gypsies. The booze, pipe weed, and exposure to early prostitution made them run to the churches screaming "The Devil was here". Sometime in the early 1820's a form of plague ran through the camp. Some guess that the women of the town gave the Gypsies used blankets from plagued towns. Since most women worked with the dead at that time, while men went to war. This same tactic was to be used later in the Civil War to kill off Indians. When word spread to the town the people demanded that the Gypsies leave before they infect the town. The leader of the Gypsies pleaded with the town to have a week to gather themselves and allow some to rest up before leaving. The town saw it other wise and demanded they leave or be forced out. The Gypsy cursed the people of the area and left in the middle of the night. When the town’s people went back to the campsite, there were graves and graves. The Gypsies had buried their dead and left. Some graves were not mark and later destroyed. The town turned the area into a graveyard and added there own. Soon the care takers of the cemetery claimed to see strange lights at night, like a torch burning, very odd music, small bells ringing, and deep laughter.
Gypsies Graveyard is a great Haunt.
We list it at a Level 1-2 Haunt and just rimming a Level 3 at times. Safe place to go with a group to explore and sometimes the locals don't mind a nighttime visit. Just ask for permission. We have seen mist, heard a little girls voice, and taken pics of Orbs. I have noted movements that I couldn't explain and watch out for the not so friendly trip when leaving. If you've been there you know what I mean. Also check your pants, one Urban Legend we found is something you'll never see. The bottom of your pants will not be stained with blood.
Check it out....Jason Sullivan's on ShadowLands Web Page! The Evil Bitch House was finally talked about!
We call it the Evil House
By: JasonSullivan6@aol.com
I am Jason Sullivan and with me always is my cameraman Jacob the Ghost Hunter, and we have a small PBS show called Midwest Haunts. We went out to this house which is located between Indiana State park and I 80 out by Michigan City. the farmer who owns the land built his house on the other side of the property and this small farm house. Its a two bedroom home with a basement and a cellar. Here is his story and then I'll tell ours.
When he first built his new home he thought the old house could be fun for his girls to play in. At the time they were 13, 10, and 7. he was checking up on them one day and found them playing tea party and a broken plate on the floor. The old home was left somewhat furnished and still had old cups, plates, all on display in the kitchen. So he asked who broke the plate and all three girls sad "it wasn't me." Mad he grabbed one of the girls by her arm and yelled at the three "who did it." It was then his life changed. A plate from the cabinet flew and struck him in the back, not hard, but the girls were in front of him and no one was behind. Then just has he was questioning what happened in his head, another flew and struck him in the face. Again not hard, but he saw it clearly move from the cabinet and right at him....So he grabbed his girls and ran. He came back with a little help, his shot gun. He looked around the house, nothing, he went downstairs and nothing. But as he walked up there stairs, he felt himself leave the ground and slam on the stairs. Not a trip, but up and fully horizontal for a second or so, then dropped down about three feet. He got up and ran, and never went back in.
We met with him, and made arrangement to go inside, this is 15yrs after he last went inside. He had since then boarded up every window and bolted the door. He unlocked the door and let us inside. We took in our film equipment and explored the upstairs, it was dirty and on the floor were two broken plates. The whole place was covered with a thick layer of dusk and just yuck. no one had been in here, not even vermin, so we headed downstairs. On the way down I found something interesting. A shotgun, somewhat rusted, loaded, and laying on the stairs! My cameraman and I couldn't believe this. We went into the basement and started setting up, I took some EMF readings and a temperature reading of the room. 68 degrees and no activity, there was no power in the house, so the EMF reader would work perfectly to find a signature. It was quiet for hours, then scaring the hell out of me the EMF reader went off, slightly at first, then WAM.....it was at a half reading, the strongest reading I have ever even heard about. We look and nothing, we were both in a panic in the room, it was dark our lights were dim, we weren't ready. My cameraman screams and I hear a slap of skin on concrete. I shin my flash light and Jacob is on the ground rolling over holding his chest. He then got up and ran out! I went out after him, asking "What happened?!" He says" I was turning on the camera when it felt like I was lifted up and spun around then dropped!" We talked for a while, I was trying to bring down his panic state, but nothing was calming him down. So I went back inside alone, to get our equipment. I walk in slow and brought the big spot light from the car and my 500,000 volt stun gun. I walk downstairs and I didn't even make it to the bottom when I felt it. It was as if someone poured ice cold water down me from my chest to my feet, I felt a pressure on my rear, like a bored was being placed behind me. this all happen in seconds, I felt my feet give and then I hit it!! I hit the trigger in the stun gun, I was let free and a shriek rain out of no where. A loud shriek that sounded like steel on steel grinding. I ran downstairs and gathered what I need and ran out. the thermograph show 35 degrees as I check it before leaving. I felt a fear that not many people could understand, but I had control. I was outside, safe, and we left.
What happen there? We did our homework on that house. It use to be a rental property, it was very poplar in the late 60's early 70's. Between the freeway and the beach, it made a great hide away. Bikers and gangs use this house, and 13 women were rapped there and one killed.
The house has bad karma and we haven't been back. I know, and we are supposed to be Ghost Hunters. I have gone back, but not inside. My cameraman never stop thinking of the house after we left. Later the next week he had a stress related Heart Attack, and was admitted into the hospital. After the angeogram, he explained what ever touch him still terrifies him and was haunting his dreams. It took 7 months before he calmed. We name the house the Evil Bitch House. A real haunt. This is a true story told by Jason Sullivan of Midwest Haunts.
***Just to give you an update Farmer Bob (Robert) had the house (The Evil House)knocked down at 2:30pm 8-25-2006. Jacob and I were there for the tear down. It was a true heart breaker to watch that house go, it was the greatest haunt we ever came across. But Farmer Bob thought it better to get ride of it. When our story came out people kept breaking in and that wasn't cool. I say thanks to a few of the Indiana ghost chasing groups that screwed that up for the people who know how to get a permit or get permission. You people suck! (You know who you are)
Crete Illinois- Ax-Man’s House -
In the 1970’s a man murders his wife and children along with two police officers, with an ax (Reports Say). After killing them he hung them from hooks in the meat shed on the back of his lot. The police department chased him through the woods near his home, he was shot dead only a few yards from a small bridge. When you enter enter the woods a strange feeling of being watched is felt and you can sometimes hear children laughing or screaming.(**When the house was there) **If you go around to the back of the house you can still see the blood splattered in the shed. In the house you will find a staircase that leads into the ceiling. If you go into one of the upstairs bedrooms you will find women’s shoes all over the floor and if you look out the window you will see what looks like a woman hanging from a rope in the tree. You can also still see the path that the ax man ran down to try to avoid the police. He is said to still haunt the bridge near where he died.
