Slippery Noodle Inn, Indiana |
History The "Inn" has been used in all types of activities. In the Civil War years it was a way station for the Underground Railroad. Later years saw a bordello open in the once luxurious Inn. It remained open until 1953 when a patron was killed. Two customers of the bordello got into an argument over one of the women, one killing the other and leaving the bloody knife on the bar. During Prohibition the Brady & Dillinger gangs used the building in back, originally built as a horse stable for the Inn, for target practice. Several of the slugs remain embedded in the lower east wall. In addition to liquor and beer being distilled in the building, cattle and swine were slaughtered and butchered in the basement. The meat hooks and water lines can still be found in the basement. The ceiling in the front barroom is made from pressed tin. It was installed circa 1890. The "tiger oak" bar and back bar are well over a 100 years old and believed to be original. The trough at the edge of the bar was used as the cash register in the olden days. The "honor" system worked or else the colt 45 did! The Noodle is the oldest commercial building left standing in Indianapolis and the Tremont House sign painted on the north side of the building dates back to the 1850's. Investigation We conducted our investigation after closing time on a Sunday night. We covered the main area's with our DVR system. We had a fun evening investigating the Inn with help from the then General Manager Marty and also a staff member of The Noddle. We had a lot of activity like; EMF spikes, moving cold spots and light flashes coming from a dark room in the basement that we were unable to find a sourse of. Also Joe and Roger played peak a boo with a shadow figure in the basement hall. They could see the shadow figure duck in and out of a side room in the basement, however it was just out of the range of the IR on the MiniDV they were recording with. All in all it was a good night. We are the "official" group of the Noodle and they just made management changes when Marty moved to California and Josh and Cruch took over the G.M. positions. We are getting a date set to re-visit the Noodle and we can't wait. |
