Do strange and weird things pique your interest? Indiana has seen a lot of strange things and we have witnessed some weird happenings. Check your Strange Indiana IQ with these unusual occurrences.
1. The Restaurant That Serves Up Something A Little Extra in Evansville.
Eat a fried brain sandwich at the Hilltop Inn and this zombie will follow you for free hugs. Yep, the restaurant serves up real brains right on a soft bun. Of course, the brains actually come from pigs, but hey - a brain's a brain, right? This photo is from a zombie parade after she ate a special brain dinner in Evansville. IN.
2. The Shoe Tree In Milltown, IN.
This shoe tree is in Milltown, In. It has grown in popularity over the last couple decades, becoming quite the main attraction in this town. People coming from all over to see this famously strange tree full of shoes. No one knows exactly when it started or why, but people are still adding their own worn-out pairs to the collection.
3. John Dillinger's Fortress-Like Grave In Indianapolis.
Did you know that John Dillinger's grave is reinforced with steel and four layers of cement? Dillinger's family worried that the outlaw's body would be dug up and stolen by the morbidly curious public. The worry was justified, since just after Dillinger's burial the public ransacked the gravesite to steal flowers, pieces of the gravestone, and even dirt from the fresh grave. Dillinger's father ordered the original wooden casket be dug up and reburied - this time reinforced with four layers of steel and concrete to thwart would-be grave robbers.
4. Years of UFO Sightings In Muncie.
Muncie has long been known for its UFO sightings. You can find several police reports from triangular objects to reports of strange objects hiding behind orange clouds. Interestingly enough, Hollywood has taken notice and talked about filming in this city several times.
5. The Tune You Can't Get Out of Your Head - Kokomo, IN.
The
Kokomo Hum is a sound that comes from this city night and day, driving some people half-crazy because it just never ends. Folks who can hear it (statistically, about 2% of the population) say it sounds like a purring train. Although several sources of the hum have been suggested and measures have even been taken to quiet the hum, plenty of people continue to hear it.
6. The Scariest House In The State? Gary, IN.
The Gary Police Department
confirmed in early 2014 that this house is haunted by demons and might contain a portal to hell. Marking this off my must visit list, immediately.
