The Haunting
Okie Pinokie is a haunted-woods legend near Peru in Miami County, Indiana. The stories include disembodied spirits, whistling from the trees, shadow figures, uneasy watched feelings, and the Joey Peoria murder legend, but the location is better treated as folklore than a verified historical site.
HauntedPlaces centers the legend on a young man named Joey Peoria, said to have disappeared while camping in 1976 before murder stories attached to the woods. Other Indiana haunt listings describe the site as gated or restricted at night and warn that the lore is mixed with local party-spot history, rumor, and trespass issues. I did not find a reliable official history for the name or a verified event behind the full legend.
Reported activity: Commenters report EVP voices, K2 meter activity, whistling, shadow figures, and a strong sense of being watched, while others question directions and details. The entry should strongly discourage trespassing, night visits, and rumor-as-fact retellings.
