The Story:
At midnight, if you walk up the stairs on the grassy side of the cemetery, there are graves dating back to the 1860s all around. On one's way up you count the steps. When you reach the top, you must turn toward the open field and the ghost of the cemetery's first undertaker will appear. Without saying anything he will reveal the climbers own death to them in a vision. The hiker MUST proceed down the steps, counting them again. If they do not get the same number as they counted before then they will die the way they saw but if they do the vision was wrong. If anyone dares to try to reach the top or level ground by not using the steps, they will be pushed to the ground by a phantom hand which will leave a red imprint on the persons back for several days so those who see it can see the mark of the Devil.

Another version goes like this, Carpenter's Cemetery lies just west of 340 and US 40 on CR 675. Locally it is better known as 100 steps. Legend has it that, on the darkest nights when you can't see your hand in front of you, you can walk up the broken steps of this cemetery and count 100 steps. As you walk down, you count only 99. Its a hard trick to do when there are only 60 or so steps there any other time. The night must be total and you must not be able to see where you step. Legend tells of those trying to walk beside the steps on the ground and of people being knocked down hard to the ground with hand prints appearing on their chest. The legend continues that if you are able to safely navigate the steps in the pitch of darkness and make the magical count, then that night before the rise of the sun, the spirit of the original caretaker will make known to you the manner of your death.

"Haunted Church"
The church is kind of old and if you look at the church you see a light in the church. You can see figures of body's looking out the broken vents and windows. At the top of the church where the steeple is you can see the cross is broken and it looks like someone is hanging on the broken cross. You see lights fly past you and across the church its not a big light is a little light kind of looks like the spook light from Spook Light Hill. It can be a real calm day and the wind will start to blow. This church is on 300 W. the other way from Spook Light Hill.
"Hell's Gates"
The Story:
Legend has it that a past tragedy involving a train derailment is what has brought all these spirits here. Stop your car at night and you can hear laughing, screaming, and then a crashing noise, as if the train is derailing over and over again, stuck in time. They say there are like 7 or so gates...and an underground cult in the area.
Another Story:
Stop the car and flash your lights three times. Then go through and turn around. Go through again, but stop in the middle this time. Turn your car off and sit there for 10 minutes. Then the graffiti will start to glow and blood will run down the walls. If you see your name on the wall, banging on the windows and the roof of the car will start. After it stops, start car again and go through. There is a tree and you will see (if you see your name on the wall) two kids hanging from the tree, but don't stay to look around go fast cause after you see your name your supposed to die.
Go through Brazil going north on the main road. You will go over a bridge or overpass then you turn left on 1500 road. Go down that street until you get to an old train tunnel. Stop the car and flash your lights three times. Then go through and turn around. Go through again, but stop in the middle this time. Turn your car off and sit there for 10 minutes. Then the graffiti will start to glow and blood will run down the walls. If you see your name on the wall, banging on the windows and the roof of the car will start. After it stops, start the car again and go through. There is a tree and you will see (if you see your name on the wall) two kids hanging from the tree, but don't stay to look around go fast cause after you see your name you're supposed to die. There are seven different bridges in that area and you are supposed to drive through all of these bridges starting by going down Coal Bluff Rd. and at the end of driving through all 7, you look back and you will see Hell's Gates closing behind you.

"Old Indian Burial Ground"
The Story:
A cemetery where an Indian buried himself up there for some odd reason. If you climb up there at midnight and stand there for a second you can hear drums and howling. Some have even seen the shadow of the lonely Indian.

"Plantation (The)"
From the SR 59 and 42 intersection, take 42 East about 7 miles until you come across a Boy Scout Road. Turn North on this road and go about 1.2 miles and you will come to a lane on your right side. It is hard to see because the grass is so thick. There will be an old shed on the left side of the road here. Take the lane back and you will discover the front wall of an old home (the rest has been demolished), several sheds, and a barn or two. The larger barn has a loft that you can access easily by a staircase. There is no real legend of this place, but it may be worth checking out!
"Shadow Beasts"
The Story:
You'll see what seems to be a couple of bushes, and one obviously is, but the other seems to be fainter in shadow and doesn't pass as the car passes, it appears to run along with you. People have observed this during a midnight drive. They call them "Shadow Beasts." They also said that they witnessed more than one, and that they were much more interactive. But the strangest thing is that this figure absorbs light... when you attempted to disprove this "thing" by thinking it's just-another-bush theory, shine your headlights in the direction of the known bush, and the unknown shadow. The bush was immediately illuminated and confirmed of it's nature, the shadow, seemed to disappear completely. Then as you drive away, it will be there again, running right along with you.

"Spook Light Hill"
The Story:
A ghost of a father looking for the head of his daughter. A car flashes it's headlights three times and a light can be seen coming down the road and "scanning" the area.

"Stop Sign Mary"
The Story:
Right after you do Hell's Gates, in Brazil, Indiana, go through to the other side. You will see a T that one road goes to the left and no right turn, and a stop sign that you just passed while turning. Go to that road. As soon as you turn on that road fully, stop, and turn of your lights and honk. There is a T sign behind you. Look at it and push on the brakes. People say that the sign will BLEED. Others say nothing happened.
