Ghost Hunt Indiana State Sanatorium w/ Haunted Rooms America
On the outskirts of Rockville, Indiana, an old road winds through dense forests, ending at a clearing where an ominous set of buildings stands—welcome to the haunted Indiana State Sanatorium. This location, rich in history and eerie occurrences, will push your boundaries of fear and curiosity.
Location History
The Indiana State Sanatorium has a storied past, beginning with its establishment in 1908 to combat the tuberculosis epidemic. The hospital opened in 1911 and was later renamed the Indiana State Sanatorium in 1919.
Over the decades, the facility expanded, adding new buildings and a nursing home, and even uncovering remnants of an old distillery from 1831 during construction in 1922.
The sanatorium operated until 2012, with the last patients transferred out, leaving behind a place filled with memories and untold stories. The property was sold to its current owners in 2020, making it a newly opened hotspot for paranormal investigations.
The Paranormal
The Indiana State Sanatorium is one of the most foreboding locations in the US, and your paranormal experience here may surpass all expectations. Documented activities include chilling disembodied voices, eerie apparitions, and intense poltergeist phenomena. Former staff reported objects moving on their own in the laundry room, often accompanied by unsettling, invisible presences.
The apparition of a woman, often seen weeping, has been encountered near the laundry and office areas, sending shivers down the spines of those who witness her. Echoing through the grounds, disembodied voices of both a man and a woman call out, as if trapped in a loop of their final moments.
As you explore the hallways, the atmosphere thickens with every step. Rooms appear frozen in time, vacated in a hurry, with personal items left behind, amplifying the sense of abandonment and dread. The basement, a site of numerous reported sightings, harbors an oppressive energy that has driven even the bravest investigators to flee. Shadows dart across your vision, whispers tickle your ears, and cold spots send chills down your spine.
The spirits of the Indiana State Sanatorium are restless, their stories etched into the very walls of the building. They seek someone to acknowledge their pain, their suffering, and their unresolved fates. Will you be the one to uncover their secrets and survive the night?

Really enjoyed my experience, however, we paid for the VIP package which included merchandise in the price. We never received anything and I was told in August there were issues with the printer, which is totally understandable, but have never received a follow up despite paying for it to be included. I would appreciate a refund for that portion of our ticket but I don’t expect it at this point. A little sketchy.
Just finished our VIP overnight at Hotel Metropolitan in Paducah! Ms. Venita and Julie were the absolute best! They both made sure we knew what we were doing with equipment, and gave us a fantastic guided tour and explained the history so well. Venita especially made an impression on my group. She is super friendly and definitely knows what she's doing. Can't wait to see her again! I wouldn't want anyone else!
My dad, my sister-in-law, and I stayed at The Metropolitan for a paranormal investigation, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and full of history — but what made our stay exceptional was the incredible staff, Julie and Venita. These two amazing women went above and beyond the entire time we were there. They walked us through all the investigation equipment, helped guide us throughout the night, and made us feel completely comfortable and right at home. Their hospitality was top-notch — from the snacks and drinks they provided to the delicious hot chocolate they made for us during our late-night exploring. Their kindness, patience, and passion for what they do turned our stay into something truly special. If you’re looking for a place filled with charm, comfort, and staff who genuinely care, The Metropolitan Hotel is the perfect choice. Our overnight stay exceeded every expectation. Highly recommend! I wouldn't want anyone else to tour with!! 👻✨🍫
My son and I went to belles grove plantation and it was the best time! We enjoyed everything! Miss V was great! We got a few pictures of something in the windows and I actually started crying which I NEVER would let my son see me cry! It was kinda spooky but awesome at the same time! The team is great and I highly recommend going on one of their tours! Thank u all for a great experience
