Whispers Estate
Mitchell, IN 47446
The home was built in 1894 and owned by Dr. John and Jessie Gibbons whom reportedly adopted abandoned/orphaned children. One of the children, a young girl named Rachael was burned on/around Christmas Day 1912 at this house after she started a fire in the front parlor and eventually died days after in one of the bedrooms. People say the ghost of the little girl continues to live here along with other spirits. Reports include sights and sounds of her running around the house.
Others have accounts of hearing disembodied voices, as Dr. Gibbons was a prominent doctor in town with his office on the 1st floor where he practiced for approximately 25 years that during that time it would be likely the case patients died there while under his care.

In the Summer of 1984, myself and a group of buddies rented out half of the house when it was still a duplex. I shared a room with one of my friends, and we're told later that room was Rachels room. Being 19 and fresh out our first year of college, a lot of partying going on,and very loud music often, so nobody really noticed much strange stuff going on back then. My buddy and I did have our covers pulled off, but shrugged it off at the time. It wasn't until years later, and after it became Whispers, that we all began comparing stories. Most occurred when someone was alone in the house one heard a baby crying only to discover no babies lived there. One noticed the faucets would turn on, things displaced, and loud bumps when no one was in the room it came from, and of course my buddy and I nightly having our covers removed. Some of the neighbors at the time heard things too, but both occupants chalked it up to thin walls and partying sounds back then. My girlfriend at the time, now my wife went there with me
a couple of times, and then refused to go back, as it made her skin crawl. Now we both know why. It really is a haunted. Just thought you might like to hear that story.

Was there fri oct 9th 2020. The house is extremely active. Tried to debunk numerous experiences but how do you debunk a 20min min yes or no conversation with an empty tapping pop can?! One tap for yes and 2 for no, was truly an awesome experience!

We did an overnight ghost hunt there. Had several experiences. Heard a growl upstairs (2nd floor) in the servants quarters. Got touched and had my pants pulled on the 3rd floor attic. had several KII hits in multiple places. Well worth the visit. Cool place and a nice house.

I have visited this house about 5 times now. Each time I leave with a new experience.
Being touched, seeing items move, equipment tampering, noises, doors opening and so much more!!!

I have been twice. The things that go on in that home are truly unbelievable. Tried to debunk over and over, but unexplainable scares occur way too often.. Rachel's room is very active and demons in the basement. So stay way from their.
