Full house during the ghost walk. We don't always get to step in here during our walk but since we have an investigation here later the Hamilton County Historical Society Old Sheriff’s Residence and Jail let us step inside! Thank you!

Slightly enhanced pictures from last night. Hamilton County Historical Society Old Sheriff’s Residence and Jail and Hamilton Co Courthouse. When would you like us to offer another investigation there? We take suggestions ;-)

We are kind of proud of being supporters of Hamilton County Historical Society Old Sheriff’s Residence and Jail thanks for putting our names up! And thanks to everyone that donated to investigate there!

We always mention this case briefly at the Nefarious Noblesville ghost walk since the trial was there and DC was held in the Hamilton County Historical Society Old Sheriff’s Residence and Jail - maybe we will try to contact him next Saturday during our investigation. Not sure I want to though.

Hamilton County Historical Society Old Sheriff’s Residence and Jail looking extra nice tonight on our tour.

We visited the former Hamilton County Sheriff’s Residence and Jail, which dates back to 1876 and operated until 1977. Charles Manson, a lifelong criminal and notorious cult leader, was booked into this jail on July 27, 1950. The building’s jail cells have a distinct heaviness that we felt as soon as we entered. We also observed a ball and chain hanging on the wall swaying slightly on its own, despite there being no apparent breeze in the cell block area. Today, this former sheriff’s residence and jail is a museum operated by the Hamilton County Historical Society.

Make sure to visit our friends at Hamilton County Historical Society Old Sheriff’s Residence and Jail at the Upstairs/Downstairs in Noblesville!

I had a blast visiting the old jail. Hamilton County Historical Society Old Sheriff’s Residence and Jail

This is a long shot request, but maybe the Hamilton County Historical Society can help. I'm looking for someone I could talk to about the activities of the Farley Cemetery Association (related to the beautiful Farley Cemetery located at Keystone & 106th, in Carmel, Indiana) in the 1930s. My husband and I have been researching our old home in Old Town, Carmel, and tracing back every deed to the turn of the century. We discovered our home was owned by the Farley Cemetery Association briefly in 1936. We'd always heard our home had been a funeral parlor, but were still surprised to find evidence of it, via the deed. We’ve exhausted our research resources about Farley (including, before COVID-19 hit, going to the Hamilton County Recorder's Office, Carmel Clay Public Library, and the Hamilton County Courthouse; reaching out to Clay Township, which now maintains the Farley Cemetery; and using online resources, like the Carmel Clay Historical Society; Lexus; Newspapers.com; the Indiana Secretary of State; FindAGrave; Ancestry.com; Google; etc.). We'd love to locate someone who might known what the Farley Cemetery Association was doing in Old Town in the 1930s that might explain why they owned our home for a year. Thank you to anyone who might be able to help!

Had a great ghost walk tonight. Now investigating the Hamilton County Historical Society Old Sheriff’s Residence and Jail Spending some time in the bedroom.

31 Days of Halloween: For October 5th let's highlight our other frequent investigation location, the very haunted Old Hamilton County Jail & Sheriffs Residence in Noblesville, IN. It is the location of the Hamilton County Historical Society Old Sheriff’s Residence and Jail ! We just recently added one more Noblesville Ghost Walk on November 2nd where we will discuss the history and hauntings of the location: https://www.facebook.com/events/377543516526686/

For the 2nd day of October, a NEW ghost story/experience. We just heard from volunteers at the Hamilton County Historical Society Old Sheriff’s Residence and Jail that they heard from a visitor the other day that he thinks the building is haunted. The volunteer there asked what happened and the visitor said he was upstairs in the bedroom and the spinning wheel and the treadle pedal in the bedroom was moving like someone was moving it. The visitor was freaked out! We don't hardly spent enough time in that room during our investigations and next times we will definitely spend more time there and talk to the families that lived there more! Here an old picture from when we walked through in 2006!
