The Haunting
Old Jail Inn in Rockville, Indiana is a former Parke County jail converted into lodging, with guest rooms that preserve the jailhouse theme. Its ghost stories lean into the building's carceral past: footsteps, a male voice, and sightings of a male inmate figure in the corridors.
Visit Indiana says the building served as the real Parke County jail from 1879 to 1998 before becoming a bed-and-breakfast with nine rooms. The Indiana digital library record adds that it operated as a jail, sheriff's office, and residence, then reopened in 2010 as the Old Jail Inn. HauntedPlaces emphasizes the retained original features and the experience of sleeping in former cells.
Reported activity: Guests and ghost listings mention disembodied footsteps, a foreboding male voice, and an inmate-like apparition. Because the building is or has been used as lodging, access should be through current booking or posted business hours rather than unscheduled exploration.
