History: The 16 room mansion located at 100 East Main Street was built by industrialist Asher Walton in 1868. Born in Clarksville, PA in 1836, he lost his mother when he was 10 years old and was sent to live with an uncle in Johnson County, IN. It was here that he learned the mercantile trade, first as a clerk in his uncle’s store and later in the store of his father-in-law where he would stay until 1859. It was then he purchased the store and set out on his own.
His shrewdness and good business sense earned him a reputation as an honorable and industrious business man. He became a prominent figure around Atlanta, IN, expanding his business ventures into the lumber business, flour milling and local real estate. He and his wife Julia were generous with their money and their time, often opening their home to the community for funerals and other events. Claims: Phantom footsteps and the sounds of children talking and laughing have been heard by visitors to the home. Several visitors have also claimed to feel something dark and heavy in the second floor servant’s quarters which has recently been remodeled into a bathroom. Our tour guide warned us that the end of the second floor hall took on a different feel after dark. The apparition of a small boy is also claimed to be seen in the second floor nursery. Our Findings: We investigated the Asher Walton home in April, 2023. Almost immediately we heard what sounded like children laughing. Unfortunately we did not have any recording equipment running at the time so we are unable to say for sure that is what we heard. We seemed to have a lot of interaction with the rempod and we captured the sound of the phantom footsteps along with some unidentified voices. But by far the two most interesting activities of the investigation was the motion sensor light turning on when no one was near and our investigator getting pinched during a spirit box session in the dining room. While we are not sure who haunts this beautiful home, the unexplained rempod activity, the motion light coming on by itself and the pinching of our investigator leaves no doubt that someone still calls this place home. We do have a video of the complete spirit box session on our YouTube channel and we encourage you to check that out if you haven’t already. The Asher Walton Home is definitely on our list to investigate again. |
