Formerly the Sage Mansion and once used as a halfway house, the Vigo County Historical Museum is home to some strange phenomena. The front staircase is a hot spot for orbs, and a small mist has been seen as well. Furthermore, a crib upstairs in an area that’s closed to visitors has been known to move by itself.

I have lived in Terre Haute my whole life.I have always heard that the museum is haunted,its even in books! Ive never encountered anything while there. Which I have been many times through out my life from field trips with school,to visits and taking my children to visit. However I aways did get a really weird feeling while downstairs in the basement. I remember looking in the glass casings one time and I felt like someone that wasn’t my grandfather and I ran in the other room scared to death. Now I chuckle about it! Also Stiffy Green the dog was once there he may still be, I’m not sure.
Is the Indiana Hotel haunted? Sending you a photo of it about 1910. (Terra Haute)–may have gone down with the tornado (1912??) Lois skibumbuddy@yahoo.com
