The Creepy Old Court
House
I was curious as to any information regarding hauntings of the old court
house in Crown Point. About a year ago my wife, son and I were visiting the
courthouse for lunch and just a way to waste time. We decided to wander through
the floors and the whole time we all just had an eerie feel. I dismissed it
simply thinking it was because of us being alone and the place being "creepy".
When we came to the top floor, we found a set of steps leading up to a door
(apparently to the roof or an attic).
As my wife and son began to walk up the stairs to
investigate, I stayed down and was looking out the window (something caught my
eye, but I'm not exactly sure what or why). While they walked up the stairs, my
wife froze in her tracks, immediately turned and ran down the stairs, she
continued down the other stairs to the floor below us. I followed not sure what
was going on. When I asked her, she refused to talk about it, she just would say
she saw something. I knew whatever it was must have been something because it
wasn't until months later that she would talk about it, and to this day she is
still leery of returning. She wouldn't give me all of the details, but she did
say something to the effect of a man in alot of pain, like he was executed or
hanged.
I just thought you may be interested to hear our experience
and perhaps be able to shed any light on it for us.
