Indiana has a long, fascinating history, which comes with some pretty spooky and incredulous legends. While many Hoosiers know all about Indiana’s most haunted cemeteries and historic buildings, few people know the story of this eerie and fascinating remote hotel in the Hoosier state.

Nestled north of Indianapolis is the tiny town of Atlanta, home to a historic hotel with an eerie and incredible history. The Roads Hotel, originally built in 1893, has a fascinating and haunting legend that still attracts guests, to this day.

This hotel was also a popular stop for Al Capone and John Dillinger (and was even a speakeasy for a short period of time). Between the infamous gangsters and the tragic deaths of the hotel owner's family, sightings of ghosts have run rampant.
