Prepare For Friday The 13th With A Ghost Walk

I'm an absolute baby when it comes to anything scary, but throw some history in there, and I'm suddenly intrigued. Learning about how the tri-state got to where we are today has always fascinated me, and I'm not alone. This is why ghost walks and haunted tours have become so popular. Every city has a story, and the older the city, the more interesting the details become. New Harmony is a perfect example of this history coming to life in the form of ghost walks and paranormal investigations. Accomplished author and paranormal enthusiast Joni Mayhan has taken her love of the paranormal and created Haunted New Harmony.

Is New Harmony, Indiana Haunted?

New Harmony, Indiana, is considered one of the most haunted towns in the Midwest. Considered a 19th-century utopian settlement, New Harmony has documented accounts of multiple paranormal activities. Popular locations include Thralls Opera House, Murphy Auditorium, the Roofless Church, and David Lenz House, to name a few. When you have a town with this much paranormal activity, you embrace it, which is exactly what we get with Haunted New Harmony Ghost Walks.

Haunted New Harmony Ghost Walk Options

In classic paranormal form, the first ghost walk of the season will be on Friday the 13th, but that walk is filling up fast. Lucky for us, there are multiple options for walks and investigations. Each walk is approximately 90 minutes, includes real stories and real hauntings, and all walks are lantern-lit. Other walks include a Dark Side Walk, Church Street Mysteries, and Paranormal Pursuit Walking Investigations. Want to see what a real walk or investigation is like?

IL Woman Shocked When Ghost Appears In Pics of Her Kids

As you are aware, I love everything paranormal. Lately, I have been drawn to stories and photos of spirits and ghosts more than ever before. I have even interviewed some paranormal ghost hunters and found it fascinating. I don't have all of the answers, but I love exploring the possibilities.

Seeing things in pictures, once you really look at them, is not uncommon. It really happens more than you think. It’s happened to me. Are there spirits who some see and some don’t? Are they real ghosts or just a smudge on the lease of the camera? Are the light beams and floating specs just traces of dust and perfectly lit angles?

The thing is, we don’t really know. Those who weren’t there might try to figure out what the image really is to disprove the fact that it might be a spirit. While others will share a similar experience. The seem and unseen merge together to form an opinion, a believable explanation. But the truth is, even though we might not be able to see angels, spirits, or ghosts, some of us have faith that they do exist, others do not, But, when they show up in a picture, unexpected, it’s pretty awesome no matter how you feel about it. You are either filled with excitement or trying your best to figure it out. Either way, pretty cool.

I came across these photos on the Haunted Illinois Facebook group. I was fascinated with them and reached out to the mother who took the photos and asked her if I could share them with you. Like I always say, you can decide for yourself whether or not you see a ghost in the photos. But, after hearing the mom’s story surrounding the photos, I believe a ghost of a child is exactly what we see.
