Here be Monsters (Maybe): A Peek at Indy's Less Charming Zones
- The Places That Make "Stranger Things" Look Like Paw Patrol: Let's be real, some neighborhoods in Indy have more abandoned buildings than a zombie flick. Now, it's not all boarded-up windows and tumbleweeds, but these areas might be best for those who enjoy their own company...and maybe a flamethrower (just kidding... mostly).
- The Whisperings of the Far Eastside: This area has a reputation for being a bit rough around the edges. But hey, maybe you'll score a killer deal on a haunted fixer-upper! Just remember, the previous resident might not be too keen on giving up their digs.
- The Spectral Shenanigans of the Northwest Side: This area is known for its, ahem, "spirited nightlife." If you're into dodging rogue shopping carts and the occasional paranormal encounter, this might be your haunt...er, hood.
Tip: Slow down when you hit important details.

Tip: Absorb, don’t just glance.
