FEATURE
The Southern Indiana Ghost Hunters are individuals who are dedicated to scientifically proving the presence of paranormal activity in Indiana and surrounding states. Reporter Ellen Glover recently joined them on one of their investigations at an old farm in Scott County, Indiana. The group has visited the location several times and frequently returns to check up on the ghosts they claim to have communicated with there. This story airs on WFHB through a partnership with a class at the IU Media School, taught by instructor Amy Gastelum.
