Some secrets are so powerful that people will do anything to keep them hidden. What They Took to the Grave is Indianapolis's adults-only ghost tour, exploring the darker side of the city's history through stories of scandal, betrayal, obsession, greed, and the choices that left lasting scars on both the living and the dead. While history often remembers the public accomplishments of a city, this tour focuses on the secrets, tragedies, and uncomfortable truths that many hoped would remain buried forever.
As we walk through some of Indianapolis's most haunted locations, you'll hear chilling tales of crimes, forbidden relationships, corruption, mysterious deaths, and lives forever altered by ambition and desire. These stories are not simply about ghosts—they are about the consequences of human decisions and the lingering echoes left behind when those decisions end in tragedy. Many of the spirits said to haunt Indianapolis are connected not just to how they died, but to the secrets they carried with them.
Recommended for mature audiences, What They Took to the Grave delves into the darker emotions that shape every city: guilt, temptation, revenge, heartbreak, and regret. Along the way, you'll discover why some stories refuse to stay buried and why some hauntings seem tied not only to death itself, but to the truths that were never spoken aloud. In a city built on ambition and reinvention, this is a journey into the shadows of the past—and the secrets that followed people to their graves. This tour runs nightly at 8 pm and lasts about 90 minutes. It is for ages 16 and older only, and includes mature themes, uncensored language, and graphic historical content.
