Wolf Mansion

Indiana · USA · Manor

The stories told about the Wolf Mansion at Portage, Indiana escalate in a way that should make anyone cautious.

The first holds that the owner killed every enslaved person on the property, including the children, after slavery was made illegal. The second holds that he lost his mind, murdered his own family, dismembered them, concealed the remains and shot himself.

Neither is supported by anything. No record, no case, no bodies and no contemporary account. It is also worth noting that Indiana was a free state, which does not fit the first claim at all.

What is reported at the building is a light in the bell tower coming on, in a tower that has no switch.

That light is what the stories were built to explain. The house is private property and the accounts should be read as folklore rather than as history.
