Summary
Tucked along the Wabash River lies New Harmony, Indiana—a quiet town with an extraordinary past. Once the site of not one, but two Utopian societies, this little village was built on the dream of perfection. But even as the dream faded, something remained. In this episode, paranormal investigator and author Joni Mayhan takes us inside the haunted heart of New Harmony, where nearly every building carries echoes of the past. Former residents—some kind, some not—still walk the streets, linger in old inns, and whisper from behind church walls. Are they trying to guide today’s generation toward the harmony they once sought, or are they angry that their vision was never fully realized? Join us as we uncover why New Harmony isn’t just home to the living, but to the restless dead as well. This is Part Two of our conversation.
