LOCATION FILE
House of Blue Lights (Skiles Test Nature Park)
FOLLOWIndianapolis, IN
DIRECTIONS →OVERVIEW
Eccentric Indianapolis millionaire Skiles Test decorated his Fall Creek estate year-round with blue lights; after his 1964 death the city inherited the property and eventually razed the house in 1978, and the grounds became Skiles Test Nature Park.
REPORTED ACTIVITY
A widespread mid-20th-century urban legend claimed Test kept his dead wife preserved in a glass coffin lit by the blue lights; the story was false, but the legend fueled decades of trespassing and reported ghost sightings on the property.
VISITING
The grounds are open to the public as a city nature park and trailhead; the house no longer stands.
