What Is the Address of House in Blue Springs on Ghost Town
The month of October always seems to spark interest in the paranormal and an increase in ghost hunting. With the help of our friends at hauntedplaces.org, we have come up with a list of some of the most haunted locations in Indiana based on electromagnetic field ratings, or EMF ratings.
What are EMF ratings? They are one of the ways ghost hunters measure spirit activity at a given location. EMF is a field of charged particles, or an energy field. Spirits are believed to disrupt this field with their presence, which results in a higher reading.
If you choose to visit one of these locations, it is your responsibility to acquire appropriate permission. Private property should be respected at all times, as should all posted signs concerning trespassing, hours of operation and other local regulations.
Many "ghost hunters" have been arrested because they failed to contact property owners or local authorities ahead of time.
To go along with our top 10 picks, there a few bonus locations that have been added, as well.

Happy hunting!
