    3. A mini ghost lengend from the book "Hoosier Folk Lengends" by Ronald L. Baker (p.59). Spelling is from the original. There was a house that stood for years between Middletown and Anderson, Indiana, that was hainted. And I know this to be the truth. No one could live in it because of all the noises that went on there. Always at midnight every night you could hear the spooks dragging chains across the floor. It was so loud that people used to come and sit in their cars outside and listen. Even long before that when people came in horses and buggies the horses would throw a fit when they drew near the house. There was some people who bought the property, but they refused to live in the old mansion. Instead they built a new house right next to the hainted house and used the hainted house for an old storage area. The reason they left the hainted house standing was that they were afraid if they tore it down the ghosts would come into their new house.
