Dusty Handprints Late one Saturday night my children and I decided to go hunting haunted landmarks. Somehow we ended up at what many Hoosiers know as "Hell's Gates" located off of Miami Gardens Rd.near Fountainette. We had heard horror stories of cults and spirits that roamed out there and if a person entered the seventh gate he or she would never escape alive. We drove for hours looking for all seven gates, but only found three. We were not sure of the gate numbers but it did not matter to us they were all cool. Rumor had it, if we drove into the gate and turned the car off and honked three times and flashed the headlights three times we would see names appear on the walls. If any of our names appeared on the wall we would suffer a bizarre death. Fortunately, none of our names appeared. Several other names appeared that we knew. I must admit sitting in a dark car in the middle of nowhere is pretty creepy. It took us hours to find our way out of the gates every time we turned left or right we ended up in the same spot over and over it was like a never ending circle. Another strange thing was when we were going in circles we kept passing this graveyard that had tombstones dated back to the 1800's. It was very creepy!!!!! The scariest thing that happened took place the next morning after returning home. It just so happened the car we drove to Hell's Gates was black and covered in a thin layer of dust. In this dust was about twenty sets of handprints. These handprints were of every size imaginable, but none matched the handprints of anyone who went to Hell's Gates that night. This was enough to freak me out. We are convinced the handprints came from spirits that dwelled among the gates or the graveyard. Rhonda Harden
