One website claims that this place is the most haunted in the state of Indiana. Do you agree?

This is the best time of year for a good scare. Haunted attractions are open everywhere. Perhaps you have already visited some. There's not a lack of haunted houses here in  Indiana. In fact, there are so many that you might not have been to the one with the best scares. Of course, these haunted houses aren't actually haunted. As you know, they are full of actors dressed up with the intent to scare you. If you really want to get scared, you might want to visit an actual haunted house with unexplainable noises, voices, and apparitions.

Now, there are a lot of haunted places throughout the state. Recently, we've discovered the most haunted house in Indiana, the most haunted restaurant in Indiana, the creepiest haunted library in Indiana, and the urban legend of a haunted cemetery found in Indiana. But what is the absolute most haunted place in the whole state? Well, according to one website, it's none of the places above.

The Most Haunted Place in Indiana

According to a list compiled by Thrillist, the most haunted place in Indiana is none other than Avon Bridge. Located in Avon, Indiana is a huge bridge that is over a century old. The Avon Bridge was built in 1906 and is well known among the locals for the legends surrounding the historic bridge. According to VisitHendricksCounty.com there isn't any written history about why the bridge may be haunted, but local lore says otherwise.

There are two legends surrounding the bridge that seem to be the most commonly told. Thrillist says:

Locals say you might encounter the ghost of a weeping woman whose child was killed on the railroad tracks, or a drunken worker who fell into a load of wet construction concrete and was entombed in the bridge itself.

Both of these tales have the same thing in common, they all say to honk your horn when going under the bridge to drown out whatever haunting sounds you may hear when passing by.

Have you ever been to the Haunted Bridge? If so, did you get any paranormal experiences?
