If you’re looking for a hotel in Indiana that goes beyond the ordinary, look no further than the Roads Hotel. This definitely haunted destination is perfect for thrill-seekers of all stripes. With ghastly group stays, private investigations day and night, and monthly overnight expeditions for those who prefer to get their creeps with company, this is the haunted housing for you.
The Roads Hotel is located at 150 E Main St, Atlanta, IN 46031.
Located in Atlanta, IN, Roads House is the premier place in the Hoosier country to get your haunt on. It even looks like it looms up off the sidewalk, both inviting you in and warning you to stay far away.
Lots of years means lots of time to collect specters. Built at the turn of the century, this site once was the home of the Roads Family, who were buried on the property. The hotel, however, hosts far more than one family of spirits; visitors have reported a wide variety of shadowy figures and unexplained happenings on the grounds.
While you may be used to seasonal haunted houses that are designed to make a buck while barely giving you boos, Roads House's paranormal investigations go to fund the Lost Limbs Foundation. Here, you can get creeped out for a good cause.
Spirits are said to haunt the Roads Hotel in many forms: disembodied voices, moving patches of dreadful chill, slamming doors, missing objects. But there's no greater sign of ghosts than floating white orbs of light. Look carefully at the two pictures above. You may notice some unusual orbs that make you look at the rest of the phots on this list a little differently.
The creepy basement is a convention of any classic horror flick. The Roads Hotel brings that to (after)life. The basement is reportedly one of the property's most haunted places. In this photo, you might just be able to make out a phantom in the shadows at the top of the stairs.
Any good haunted hotel has to be worth a stay even if the spirits don't show up. That's true at the Roads motel, whether the themed guest rooms, like The Preacher's Room pictured above, offer cozy accommodations with an unsettling ambiance. Not only that, but this is one of the few haunted hotels that is heated during the winter. You can search for spirits at the Roads Hotel in any season and know that the cold you're feeling is definitely a ghost and not just a draft.
What’s an escape unless you might want to escape from it? Why hit the road, if where you’re going doesn’t have the chance of sending you running home? For those who like their stays to be supernatural, and can’t stand a ho-hum hotel, the Roads Hotel demands a trip. Learn more about this haunted hotel, visit its website or Facebook page.
