Short Description
Noble County boasts small-town charm and attractions all year long.
And ghosts. The county’s only movie theater is patrolled by the well-known manager, who died in 1995. Two of the highest hills in the state are haunted, one after a hanging and another because of a murder immortalized by Indiana’s poet laureate. The sprawling Kneipp Sanitarium received a visit from the Virgin Mary herself and became a battleground of good versus evil. Former residents of the county poor farm still roam the building. Then there’s the “Thing in the Basement.”
Join authors and historians Mark and Emily Hunter as they tour the dark and spooky corners of Noble County.

Description
An Albion couple steps into the supernatural with their new book, Haunted Noble County, Indiana.
Released by The History Press line of Arcadia Publishing, the book is part of its Haunted America series. Mark R. Hunter and Emily Hunter spent over a year researching the book, and collected stories from many sources, including eyewitnesses.
“Every area has ghost stories,” Mark explains. “We just put them together and added pictures.”
Some of the stories are well known to locals, including the legend of Spook Hill, which inspired a famous poem by Indiana’s former State Poet Laureate. Others stem from events in Noble County history, such as the hanging of a horse thief and accused murderer at the base of Diamond Hill, near Ligonier. Still others were told directly to the Hunters, including their favorite: “The Thing In the Basement”.
