Fort Ghost

Ghost The friend who steered me to this link believes in this stuff and made me promise not to make fun of it. So I'll just say that there are 15 entries about ghosts in Fort Wayne (it's alphabetical, so just scroll down), including these:

  • It is believed that Carroll High School is cursed and haunted. Every year a junior student dies surprisingly, and eventually the student comes back to haunt and be known. One example,(not mentioning the name), a girl who died, came back to be remembered. A day after her death, in class, a boy took her original seat and fell off. To everyone's surprise, they asked him if he was alright. He then replied, in a shocked look, "No, not really." The teacher asked why. He replied back "I didn't fall, I was pushed."
  • ColdWater Road Wal-Mart - Around 3am-4am in the morning, shoppers and workers hear bagpipes playing a scotish tune. Shortly when song ends, a man in a green plaid kilt makes his appearance by pacing the floors. When he walks by you, you will get a cold eerie feeling. This ghost is known to be friendly.
  • Lakeside Park Neighborhood - The lakeside neighborhood is rumored to once been Indian grounds used for less than pleasant occasions. Many different residents have reported strange sounds and sights in and around their homes. Lakeside Park was once an amusement park with locks, canals and a dance hall and the area is rich with history before and after the city was settled.
  • The University of Saint Francis library - A student hung himself here long ago and has been spotted by students. Many have reported unexplainable "cold spots" in the library,reports of people actually seeing her hanging, and other strange happenings.

I think it might be fun to hear the bagpipes, but I doubt I can get up early enough to be there by 3 a.m.

On some of the maps marking the history of Fort Wayne, Lakeside is shown as an Indian torture ground. Of course there were quite a few battles fought here and lots of deaths and defeats - some marked at the junction of Dearborn and and Edgewater at the Maumee River.
