Chesterton - Diana Of The Dunes - Around 1915, the area that is now the Dunes
State Park in northern Indiana was mostly uninhabited wilderness. The stories spread around the vicinity of Chesterton, Indiana
that fishermen who were along the beach at certain times of the day had been lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a naked woman
swimming in the lake. The story spread that a beautiful woman was living as a hermit along the beach and her notoriety grew
to a point that many compared her to the ancient Greek goddess Diana...hence the name of this legendary creature. In truth,
her name was Alice Marble Gray and she was the daughter of an influential couple from Chicago. Alice had traveled extensively
and was cultured and educated. She had worked in the city as an editorial secretary for a popular magazine, so what had made
her take up the lonely life of a recluse. Some have claimed that Alice came to the dunes because of a broken love affair but
actually she left the city life because her deteriorating eyesight had made her work impossible. She had sought refuge in
the rough land that she had enjoyed as a child. Alice moved into an abandoned fisherman's cottage on the beach and lived a
life of peace, borrowing books from the library, walking in the woods and of course, swimming naked in the chilly waters of
Lake Michigan. In 1920, Alice met a drifter named Paul Wilson and he moved into the cabin with her. He was an unemployed boat
builder with a shaky past but he seemed to make Alice happy and the two of them stayed together until 1922.... when tragedy
struck. The badly burned and beaten body of a man was found on the beach and police suspected that Wilson had a hand in the
murder. He was questioned but eventually let go. He and Alice moved to nearby Michigan City, Indiana, where they made a small
living selling handmade furniture. Alice bore her husband two daughters but he treated her terribly, often beating her severely.
In 1925, Alice died in her home, shortly after the birth of her second daughter. The official cause of death was said to be
uremia poisoning...complicated by repeated blows to her back and stomach. Wilson disappeared and later tuned up in a California
prison, serving time for auto theft. The fate of Alice's daughters is unknown. Legends of the dunes say that Alice still returns
to the beach and the wilderness that she loved so much. Over the years, many have claimed that they have seen the ghostly
figure of a nude woman running along the sand or disappearing into the water.

elevator was erected to move court witnesses to different floors of the building. In the 1960's, a witness was being escorted
to court in a Mafia case. He was shot in the elevator by one of the police escorts, who was really a hit man in disguise.
After this happened, access to the elevator was blocked and the power cut off. Many people have reported hearing this mysterious
elevator going through the floors, muffled by screams heard in the elevator shaft. Some have even claimed to see the actual
ghost of the shooting victim wandering the halls of the building.
Indianapolis
- Irvington - Irvington is a town in Indiana. It
was founded sometime in the 1800's. There is a church there that was once upon a time a house (it was added onto when it became
a church) The church is on a circle surrounded by many little houses. The church use to be where a slave owner lived and all
of his slaves and maids and such lived in the houses around him. If you walk by the church/house in the setting sun you can
see a figure of a man either on the roof or somewhere on the church grounds. If you spend the night in Irvington you may experience
several things. Some people, when they are sleeping, have reported waking up and feeling that someone else is in the room.
Sometimes you will even see a young man. Also strange smells and sounds have been heard and feelings that you are not alone
when you are.
