Elizabethtown is an abandoned town that can be found in Delaware County. The town was officially formed in the early 1800s, named after the founder's daughter, Elizabeth Wilson.
The town had high hopes on becoming the county seat and thriving in this small corner of Indiana. However, when it was passed over, this town slowly began to decline, until it was completely abandoned in the early 1900s.
Despite its bright and cheery location, all that remains of this ghost town is a cemetery that seems to appear out of nowhere.
This isolated cemetery is creepy to visit on your own, since it's in the middle of nowhere. But this trip is made even more chilling by claims that it's haunted by spirits.
While no dark presences have been felt here and there are no origins of the ghost stories, rumors abound that shadowy figures can be found lurking, usually disappearing upon sighting visitors.
Paranormal investigators have caught strange sounds and believed responses on tape while visiting this cemetery, adding to the rumors that spirits lurk in this deserted town.
The mysterious eeriness of this cemetery is thrown off by the bright sunlight and well-maintained grounds. Still, many claim you can feel how haunted this area is upon entering the cemetery.
