Southern Indiana in the fall is full of ghost stories, historic downtowns, and quirky hidden gems. In this episode, Boo 812 founder Katie Jo Gleasing shares how to turn a weekend into an immersive tour through the region's haunted past.

Host and guest Katie Jo Gleasing dig into the haunted side of SoIN, from eerie legends to the historic buildings and former graveyards you can still walk through today. Katie Jo explains how the Boo 812 walking tour evolved from earlier historic haunted tours, and why preserving local stories matters just as much as exploring the paranormal.
