Summary
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to sleep where gangsters once plotted and ghosts still roam the halls, welcome to the Roads Hotel—Indiana’s most haunted overnight stay. Built in 1893 by Newton and Clara Roads, this historic inn has seen it all: tragedy, laughter, love, and death. But while the living have long since checked out, the spirits have clearly decided to extend their stay indefinitely.
From phantom footsteps to voices calling out from empty rooms, the Roads Hotel has become a magnet for the curious, the brave, and the foolhardy. Paranormal investigators from across the country come here hoping to catch a glimpse—or a whisper—of its lingering residents. Some have seen figures in the upstairs windows. Others have felt the presence of Clara herself, still watching over her once-beloved hotel.
We explore the dark history, haunted legends, and unforgettable encounters that make this site one of the Midwest’s most chilling destinations. Whether you come for the history or the hauntings, one thing’s for sure—checking out is a lot harder than checking in.
