Stepp Cemetery in Indiana is one of the places that seem to come up again and again if you search for “haunted places in Indiana” on the internet. Among additional famous — or should we say infamous — cases in the Hoosier State are Whispers Estate, the Hannah House, Central State Mansion, and the old Slippery Noodle Inn. The commonly-mentioned and legendary Hoosier haunt Stepp Cemetery near Martinsville conveniently has a creepy hike to get to that very place that’s equal parts beautiful and eerie. Nestled within the notoriously creepy Morgan-Monroe State Forest is the Three Lakes Hike, which takes hikers past two photogenic, crystal-clear lakes (yes, just two — there once was three), but also leads them to one of the creepiest hikes in Indiana. Take this haunted hike in Indiana if you’re hoping to get out and enjoy the outdoors with a side of spookiness.
