The Indiana State Sanatorium

Located in Rockville, Indiana sits the old Indiana State Sanatorium. According to the Indiana State University Library, the Indiana State Sanatorium was once called the Indiana State Tuberculosis Hospital and was opened in 1907. The Sanatorium had great success with curing tuberculosis and in 1919 the name was changed to the Indiana State Sanatorium. The old building was abandoned in 2011 but then purchased in 2020 where the new owner sets up tours and overnight stays (IndyStar). With a place that has a notoriously haunted history like the Indiana State Sanatorium, it makes sense that they would host a paranormal convention.

It's said that the Indiana State Sanatorium is said to be a prime location for hearing disembodied voices, seeing apparitions, and a hotbed of poltergeist activity. If you think you're brave enough to roam around the grounds of the old sanatorium yourself, you can check out the Indiana State Sanatorium's different tour options, here.

Here are vintage cereals that were used to promote some of pop culture's biggest moments (and some you probably forgot about).
