| Description: |
|
Hannah house was built in 1958 by Alexander Hannah, a highly reputable member of the Indianapolis community.
He had a strong moral belief against slavery and thus put his home on the Underground Railroad to aid in the escape of slaves. His basement served as a rest stop for slaves making their move to safer areas. Tragically, one night when a large number of slaves were resting in his basement a lantern tipped over trapping everyone in the basement. While the fire was put out quickly it proved not to be quick enough for those in the basement as they perished. The sickening smell of rotting flesh on the 2nd floor has been attributed to the still born death of their child. Doctors induced the early birth of their child because the baby had died inside the mother and was beginning to decay creating a health risk for her. The apparitions of slaves in the basement hiding, a woman who stands near a window on the 2nd floor, and a black frocked bearded man have been seen within the walls of the home. In addition to chandeliers and picture frames that move on their own and a piano that has reportedly played a few notes only to discover that the piano was ?locked down? has been witnessed by many. An investigation by PROOF Paranormal based in Indianapolis has rendered the following findings: The piano playing while being locked down ? no explanation for this; EMF problems in the basement with irregular readings of which some of the readings were attributed to faulty wiring; EVP has been captured; and although there were orbs within the basement they were discredited as merely dust, but the one video shot in complete darkness without the aid of infrared captured a floating ball of light. There are no ready explanations for this. |
