The Skiles Test Park house has been an Indianapolis urban legend since the 1950’s and is still inspiring people brave enough to walk it’s grounds and see if any of the crazy rumors about it are true.
The original story claims that there once was a mansion surrounded in blue lights and a lavish swimming pool just north of Shadeland Avenue. In it, a crazy and wealthy old man spent his nights worshiping his dead wife who was on display in a glass casket on the grounds. Visitors who tried to get close risked their lives as the man was known to have a shotgun and around 35 or so attack dogs.
Recently a Redditor on /r/Indianapolis posted pictures of their visit to the grounds…
They found a tunnel that was bricked up…
A knocked down really tall privacy fence…
And if you believe the legend…possibly part of the coffin!
