Haunted Farm in Sanders County Is Reported as Disembodied Spirit Case
The Carriage and Sounds of Feet on the Road are linked to a Sanders County haunting near Valparaiso. The Van Sant family, long-time locals, moved after investigators from the Club of Psychical Research concluded a genuine disembodied spirit returns to earth. Doors lock or unlock unexpectedly, strange lights fill rooms, and a ghostly rider appears. Witnesses describe dim, white apparitions and phantom carriages, with sounds echoing in the lane. The investigation, led by Mrs. L W Billingsley, notes the events are well authenticated and deserve records in the Society for Psychical Research.
