Explore Westfield’s main north and south thoroughfare, the former US 31 known as Union Street, on an evening ghost walk that blends local history with tales of the supernatural. The route includes buildings tied to tragic events and reports of active hauntings, with some structures under renovation or even being moved, changes that can heighten paranormal activity. A stop at a historic cemetery is included, where a marker was damaged, removed, returned, and then neglected, a sequence that tends to stir things up. Hear about the oldest high school building in Indiana still used for education and the stories said to linger behind its brick walls. This is an outdoor ghost walk, not an investigation. Reservations are required, no physical tickets are issued, and names are placed on a list. After reserving, detailed meeting instructions are sent by email.
