Located in Johnson County, Indiana, east of the modern I-65 interstate highway is a stately two story brick home commonly referred to by the name Candlelight House. In olden days the many windows facing the road were said to have been often lit with candles.

Working on the new portico/porch
The owners of the house are currently working on the restoration of the house. The day we drove by a new porch was being installed. This structure was surprisingly made of structural steel, not like the original wood portico that is long gone.

Since the house was built three generations of the same family have lived in the house. The only son of the third generation, named Otho Henry Pritchard, died in the house in 1995. According to many accounts Otho still walks the rooms of the house, even writing his name with his finger on windows. There have been paranormal investigations at the house.

my house in Cincy Ohio I believe was haunted. When I was a little kid maybe around 6 or 7 I saw a skeleton standing at the doorway to my wrong. Not sure maybe i was dreaming, but I still remember closing my eyes real tight for a very long time hoping it would go away. I must have had my eyes closed for at least 5 minutes. I opened them and saw it was no longer there. Very traumatizing for a little kid.

The owners have a real gem here. It is reported that quite a few of the original family’s furniture and possessions are still in the house. Hope they will have some open houses when they are done.
