Central State Hospital in Indianapolis is described as a "haunted" location due to its history of thousands of deaths, including potential murders and suicides, and the experiences of paranormal investigators who report hearing disembodied voices, particularly a child's voice and the words "pull down from the top". The asylum, which housed many psychiatric patients until its closure in 1994, is also known for phenomena like shadow figures and temperature drops, making it a focal point for paranormal exploration and storytelling. Investigators have recorded or heard voices, including a childlike voice and a specific phrase, "Pull down from the top," which was not picked up by equipment, suggesting intelligent communication. Investigators have witnessed shadows moving in doorways. As the former Central Indiana Hospital for the Insane, the site is associated with thousands of patient deaths, which contributes to the atmosphere of paranormal activity. The abandoned hospital, particularly the administration building, tunnels, and power plant, has been the subject of paranormal investigations and is considered one of the most haunted locations in the Midwest.
