Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. Begin your haunted walk at one of New Harmony’s most storied historic homes. Once home to preservationist and early tour guide Mary Emily Fauntleroy, the house is now associated with strange touches, unexplained scents, and a presence some believe never truly left.

2. This quiet Harmonist-era home dates to around 1819 and hides one of the simplest—and creepiest—legends on the tour. Visitors claim that under the right circumstances, the old house has an unsettling habit of answering back.

3. Step inside Philip Johnson’s extraordinary open-air sanctuary, where the sky itself serves as the ceiling. But this peaceful landmark has a darker side: more than 200 unmarked Harmonist graves lie nearby, and visitors have reported mysterious sounds drifting through the grounds.

   5 min

4. Enjoy one of New Harmony’s best-known dining destinations—and perhaps meet one of its more unusual regulars. Staff stories include mysterious movement, unexplained scents, and apparitions that seem to appear when least expected.

   5 min

5. Discover a historic building that transformed from a Harmonist communal dormitory into a theater in the 1800s. Its namesake never lived long enough to see his vision fully realized, but according to local legend, he may still be keeping an eye on the stage.

   Passes by

6. Peer into a shop filled with antiques, vintage objects, clocks, and collectibles carrying histories of their own. Local stories suggest that some of those objects may have brought more with them than their former owners intended.

   5 min

7. Walk the haunted streets of historic New Harmony and hear the stories, legends, history and tales of what still goes bump in the night.

   30 min

8. This historic 1913 auditorium has hosted generations of concerts, plays, lectures, and community gatherings. Yet some paranormal investigators believe a few former occupants may continue working behind the scenes long after the audience has gone home.

   Passes by

9. Finish your haunted adventure at Indiana’s oldest continuously operating free library, museum, and archive. Among its historic collections and towering shelves are tales of shifting books, rustling pages, and the strange feeling that not every reader has left the building.
