Join Chris Lawson, of SPIRIT Paranormal, discuss the history and haunting of Randolp Asylum and Infirmary located at Winchester, Indiana.

This Program lasts approximately 45 minutes. It is a PowerPoint-driven Lecture workshop. This is a deep dive into Hoosier Legends, Ghosts, and Places. We begin with the Randolph Asylum and Infirmary, located at 1884 S 100 E, Winchester, Indiana, with a horrific history. We will explore its former residents and hallways. We will examine a murder committed by its own residents. We will explore its famous ghosts. Best of all, we will reveal our 2025 investigation, and we will show our evidence collected. There is so much evidence that we have dedicated this lecture solely to the Infirmary.  After the presentation, we will have a Q&A session for our audience.
