Crown Hill Cemetery - Autumn Tour
Ghost of Crown Hill in Indianapolis.wmv
This photo originally had no sound, just a photograph.
It was taken on December 30, 2011, during the late morning hours, in Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis. The grounds are well-known for hundreds of notorious and famous historical figures buried there, such as John Dillinger and President Benjamin Harrison. The tree in the foreground of this picture sits in the midst of a mass grave of numerous children from several local orphanages. There is a sign standing to the left out of camera range about these orphanages. I have circled what appeared after I snapped the photo to be a male figure standing in the background. My friend and I were the only people in sight, and he was standing right next to me. We immediately drove past where the man appeared to be, and nothing there. I do admit a very creepy feeling in the air nearby.
Comments are very welcome!!

John Dillinger's family still wants infamous gangster's body exhumed

For any copyright, please send me a message. Family members of 1930s gangster John Dillinger have submitted a new application to exhume his remains from an Indianapolis cemetery.The Indiana State Department of Health said it received the latest application Tuesday, but the Chicago Sun-Times said they haven't reviewed it yet. Dillinger's family first applied to exhume his remains in July as part of a planned History Channel documentary. The deadline to exhume and return the remains was September 16, and the exhumation did not occur.The History Channel last week dropped out of a planned documentary on Dillinger that would have included the exhumation. Family members said they have evidence Dillinger's body may not be buried in Crown Hill Cemetery. It would be once and for all put to bed the rumor that a Dillinger double is buried in the grave. Speculation also persists that Dillinger didn't get killed outside the Biograph Theatre in Chicago, but that it was a doppelganger who took the bullets. However, biographer Bill Helmer told the Sun-Times that it's much ado about nothing. He said theories that the vault at Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis contains a Dillinger doppelganger are 'total nonsense.' Even the FBI attempted to clear the air, as they 'confirm' agents did indeed kill Dillinger in 1934. Cemetery officials object to the exhumation, saying it would be disruptive. Dillinger's nephew, Michael C. Thompson, sued the cemetery last month, seeking a court order to gain access to the grave. Tony Stewart, a nephew of legendary criminal by marriage, said he's certain once Dillinger is exhumed DNA tests would prove it's really him, and finally end the conspiracy theories. 'Over the years, people have just bothered the family about it,” Stewart told the Madison Courier. 'I think they want to know. I think they want to put the conspiracy theories to rest, and I think that’s perfectly OK.' Stewart is expert of sorts on the matter, having written several books about his infamous bank robber family member. Authors have been questioning who's buried in Dillinger's vault for decades. Starting in 1970 with 'Dillinger: Dead or Alive?' and the followup 'The Dillinger Dossier' from Jay Robert Nash and Ron Offen, they laid out pieces of evidence, including fingerprints and blood type that were not a match for Dillinger. Share this article Share Stewart refuted those claims in his book 'Dillinger, The Hidden Truth — RELOADED.' However, in their July affidavit, Thompson and Carol Thompson Griffith, said they received 'evidence that demonstrates that the individual who was shot and killed at the Biograph Theater in Chicago on July 22, 1934, many not have been my uncle, John H. Dillinger.'A hearing is scheduled for Oct
