Fort Wayne
Bostick Bridge - Supposdely haunted and there have been reports of satanic activity. One visitor went there to discover a pile of about 10 dead squirrels all cut up.
Bruick Rd - If you go over a bridge & park your car, you can see a white light that sometimes gets bigger, moves, & changes colors. The farther you follow it, the farther it seems to move backwards, away until all at once it vanishes.
Carroll High School - It is believed that Carroll High School is cursed and haunted. Every year a junior student dies surprisingly, and eventually the student comes back to haunt and be known. One example, not mentioning the name), a girl who died, came back to be remembered. A day after her death, in class, a boy took her original seat and fell off. To everyone's surprise, they asked him if he was alright. He then replied, in a shocked look, "No, not really." The teacher asked why. He replied back "I didn't fall, I was pushed."
Cement House - This house is on the south side of Fort Wayne that is also called Whites Mansion. It sits on an old lot full of thick trees off of South Lafayette, or South Hanna. It must have been sitting there for at least 65 or 70 years by now. Inside the "shell" of this house it is very rundown, and gangs have drawn graffiti' all over the walls of this house. The story goes like this: A man had an invalid wife. He started to build a house for her. This house was to be total cement. It was to be white, with large black and white tiles in the foyer, or entry way. It had ramps because she was in a wheel chair. He worked night and day on this house. It was very huge and I think it had 3 stories. But it was totally in white cement. The legend goes, the man's wife died before he could finish it for her. He was so heartbroken, that he simply left the house sitting unfinished to this day. Now, the ghost of this woman supposedly walks the house at night. People supposedly have seen her with a light, or candle or what ever.
Chapman Road - Just north of Cedar Canyons Rd. in Fort Wayne there is a road called Chapman rd. If you take it to a road called Griffin and turn right you will come to a valley in the road. If you stop at the very bottom of the valley and put your car in park a mysterious "force" will pull your vehicle back UP the hill! You can also take Chapman rd. all the way down until it tees then turn right. Take that road (Auburn rd.) to Hollopeter rd. and turn right. That rd. will turn into Griffin and you will be coming down the other side of the valley (the same thing will happen if you put your car in park).
Char's House of Oak - This is a retail store on Wells Street . It consists of several old houses filled with oak furniture all in the same area. In the main house there is a stairway leading upstairs. While ascending the stairs while shopping, an apparition of a man with disheveled black hair, heavy 5 o'clock shadow, dirty white undershirt and green work pants appeared at the top of the stairs in an uncontrolled rage. He whipped off his belt and ran down the stairs with his belt raised over his head ready to swing it. As he was running down the stairs he passed right through a shopper leaving an icy chill throughout their body and an extremely unsettled feeling.
Cold-Water Rd - Wal-Mart - Around 3am-4am in the morning, shoppers and workers hear bagpipes playing a Scottish tune. Shortly when song ends, a man in a green plaid kilt makes his appearance by pacing the floors. When he walks by you, you will get a cold eerie feeling. This ghost is known to be friendly.
Columbia City - The Haunted Jail, the ghost of a murderer is said to haunt the site of the retired jail. It is now used as a haunted house throughout the Halloween season, and members who work there in the off-season report a lot of paranormal activity. Noises such as footsteps and scraping along walls are also reported the only thing that runs is the electricity, there is nothing as far as a heating system to be mistaken for the noises. There is a door that always must remain open if it is shut when you walk away and come back it is always open. Some workers have seen some blurry object touch there hand, and feel something touch their shoulders. Then there is the 3rd floor, there isn't much in there, and some say it's the most haunted part of the jail. There is supposed to be a woman's ashy foot prints on the wall, but there is nothing that could cause ash to be up there. One night one of the workers had set his keys down stairs and took his girlfriend up to the 3rd floor, he had told her not to say abbagail (Charles Butler's, the murderer, wide that he murdered) three times, though she did. When they went back down stairs, every light was off and his keys were laying on the floor.
Devils Hollow Cemetery near Homestead High School - If you go to the back of the woods just behind Devils Hollow and follow the creek. You will come to a cemetery, if you stand in the middle and stay quiet to long you could drop dead. So if you come to this cemetery just run and never look back.
Devil's hollow - On Cedar Canyons Rd. right before Auburn Rd. If you look up on the hill to the right you can see a chimney stack still standing from a house that has burnt down. There have been police reports and arrests made from cults going up there and sacrificing goats and pigs and various other satanic ceremonies occurring. If you go there at midnight you're supposed to be able to have a sense that she is still there and haunting. This is stronger if you go there during a full moon. The story goes that a woman lived in a house up on a hill by herself. This old woman would speak to a friend about how there was kids that would break stuff on her property, sneak up to the windows and look in, and overall harass her. They would tell people she was a witch. One night in early 80's these teens set her house on fire and wouldn't let her out of it. The building stood for a while but now all that stands is the chimney. people who go there for a "spook show" are run off by the ghost of this woman because she feels like they are no better than the teens that killed her. There was no new house built on her hill. After a few years what was left of the house was caving in and police were down investigating the area so the falling house was tore down and removed but they left the chimney. There is still a police investigation on this. The teens who did this has not been found.

Lima Road - The Old Byron Health Care Center - "The Stairway To Hell" - The old health care center was shut down and a new one was built next to it. You can still walk around in the old building, and you can feel a very ominous sense all around you. Keep walking around until you come to a staircase leading to the Basement. The word "Basement" has been covered and people have put up the phrase "The Stairway to Hell" in place. Shine your flashlight down the staircase and you can see the end, but when you start walking down, turn it out. It has to remain out. As you walk down the stairs, it gets colder and colder, and more unsettling, but you can NEVER reach the end. You can keep walking for a long time and never reach the basement at all. But no matter how long it takes you to walk as far as you dare, when you turn around to go back upstairs, it only takes a fraction of the time to get back to the staircase. One witness reports, ""We walked downstairs for 20 minutes once, and it only took us 3 minutes to get back to the top again. When we got back to the top, we shined our flashlights down the stairs, and once again, we could see the end. It is very very scary, and it makes no sense whatsoever."" Update - Has since been torn down and the tunnels have collapsed.

A janitor haunts the basement where he died of a heart attack several years ago. Many janitors have reported seeing him. Finally, a construction worker haunts the stage area of the auditorium. During the building of the school, it partially collapsed, killing him and injuring many others. It is a little scary walking the halls alone at night. A magazine covered the stories back in the seventies.
