Circle City Paranormal

History
For a half-century, this complex array of buildings and gardens beckoned to all
of the state's mentally ill. By 1905, however, mental health institutions elsewhere
in Indiana, built in Evansville, Logansport, Madison, and Richmond relieved an
overcrowded Central State Hospital of some of its patient load, leaving it to treat
only those from the "central district", an area of 38 counties situated in the
middle portion of the state. In 1950 patient population reached 2,500

By the early 1970s, most of the hospital's ostentatious, Victorian-era buildings
were declared unsound and razed. The Men's Department Building (a Kirkbride)
had been demolished in 1941. In their place, the state constructed brick
buildings of a nondescript, institutional genre. These modern buildings and the
medical staff therein continued to serve the state's mentally ill, until allegations
of patient abuse and funding troubles sparked an effort to forge new alternatives
to institutionalization which, in turn, led to the hospital's closure in 1994.

Investigation
We did a two night investigation due to size of Central State. The first night we
focused on the Administration building, the power plant and a portion of the
tunnels. Due to the fact there is no power we had to use our generator to power
our DVR, Cameras, and chargers. We had many personal experinces from
sounds of foot steps, to the third floor hallway a series of loud bangs in a room
that we investigating in with no explanations or finding of a source. We
investigated the first night around 9 hours.

The second night we focused on the remaining tunnels and dorms. Due to the
large scale of this night we did not use the DVR and just use all of our
camcorders and mobile equipment. During an investigation of Joe, Roger and
Aaron there was sounds of footsteps and noises like shuffling and a couple sighs
noticed that seem to follow them while on the first floor. We had a couple
investigators during an EVP sesion and photo's capture 2 surprising photo's.

It was a very interesting investigation and a place I always wanted to investigate
since I was a kid. Let me just remind everybody we had permission to be there
that night however it is not open to the public and you will be either aasked to
leave or arrested for tresspass without proper permission.
