Big Bone Lick in Boone County has attracted many who want to learn about the ice age and Native American history. In the last five years though, the historic site has attracted hundreds of ghost hunters, all of them curious about the paranormal.
That curiosity makes Big Bone Lick a perfect topic for LEX 18's Mystery Monday.
When paranormal investigators began doing tours at the historic site, they were intrigued with what they found, especially at the church.
Investigators talk about hearing voices, seeing shadow figures and people walking up and down the steps.
A picture was snapped inside the church showing a mysterious brown-reddish figure.
"It looks like a wagon wheel and a figure--that one that we can't explain yet," Eddie Parks, a paranormal investigator said. "We've debated it for years."
Big Bone Methodist Church, built in 1888, was also a Masonic lodge and it is said that the pastor at the time killed himself.
Many wonder if the strange things that happen at the church are caused by his ghost.
One man tells of the time he was doing an investigation on the suicide and had a book slam on the podium in front of him.
But it's not just the church that is shrouded in mystery. The Baker Family Cemetery has it's own mysteries. The burial ground dates back to the early 1800's.
While recording a tour of the park, investigators asked, "is she here?"
Faintly, a response came back ... "no she isn't."
The voice sounded like it came from a little girl. This stumped investigators because there were no children on the tour.
They are planning to continue investigating with more tours in 2015, starting April 25. They welcome anyone who wants to see for themselves.
