Creepy and haunting, eerie and unnerving. Some small towns have beauty and charm, while others can send chills right up your spine. Indiana has its fair share of spooky small towns and these eight towns (mostly ghost towns) will make you feel like you’ve just stepped onto the set of a horror movie.
- Corwin
wikimedia Corwin had all the makings of becoming a flourishing town in the mid 1800s, but never really peaked. Today, this ghost town has creepy, decaying structures that you’ll swear could serve as a backdrop in a horror film.
- Elizabethtown
wikimedia This former Delaware County town shows no traces of its former existence, save for the Elizabethtown Cemetery. Pretty spooky!
- Dunn
wikimedia This extinct town can be found in Benton County. Today it’s completely overgrown and looks like the scene from a horror movie where the victim would run for safety before meeting their fate…
- Sloan
wikimedia With desolate, crumbling buildings, Sloan in Warren County is a shoo in, should a horror movie crew ever be looking for the perfect desolate setting for their movie.
- Chatterton
wikimedia Chatterton is another Warren County ghost town that once had a general store, a school, and even a post office. Now, it looks like the perfect place for a chainsaw villain to begin a massive chase through tall fields.
- Baltimore
wikimedia The sole house that remains in what used to be the town of Baltimore, Indiana seems like the ideal place for horror film bad guys to lure their victims to.
- Hindostan Falls
wikimedia Completely overrun by nature, it’s certainly clear that the former town of Hindostan Falls would serve as a fantastic deserted location in any scary movie.
- Hawkins
Netflix/Youtube Hawkins, Indiana is not a ghost town, but it has some very dark, paranormal things going on… Come on, this crazy fictional town from “Stranger Things” definitely tops this list!
