Old Blackford County Jail Paranormal Investigation & Ghost Hunt | Get Haunted Midwest
Hartford City, Indiana | Est. 1879 | A Century of Incarceration
Some doors were never meant to open again.
Stone walls. Iron bars. Heavy doors designed to keep men away from the world. Established in 1879 and in operation for 116 years, the Old Blackford County Jail is a silent witness to a century of crime and desperation. Featuring a rare, functioning cast-iron turnstile, it remains one of the most authentic investigative sites in the Midwest.
Season One: The Origins of the Movement
This investigation officially launches Season One, a journey into the Spiritualist Movement. We combine modern investigative tools with Ancestral Communication Methods—the raw, low-tech techniques used in the 1800s to speak with the "other side" before digital technology existed.
