Have you ever been to Lucky Point Indiana? Have you ever heard of it? Well it is located west of Washington,IN and it is apparently not only a UFO hot spot, but just about every kind of paranormal activity you can think of has been reported there. Here are some articles I found. (812) 882-1862. Ridge, Mount Vernon, may be reached at (812) 838-3120.The Mysteries of Lucky PointSubmitted by D.V. Pyle, Washington, Ind., July 16, 1997In southern Indiana there is an area which some researchers of the paranormal claim is a focal point for paranormal activity, and as such the area known as Lucky Point has become a focal point of investigations by members of the Unexplained Phenomena Research Organization.The swampy wooded area is located in rural Knox County near the town of Monroe City. According to some, strange occurrences have happened there over the years.The Unexplained Phenomena Research Organization (U.P.R.O.) is a national group dedicated to investigating unexplained supernatural mysteries. The Indiana chapter of the group is headed by Jerry Sievers out of his home in Vincennes, Indiana."We have had reports of things from U.F.O.'s, Sasquatch sightings, spook lights and ghosts in this area," Sievers commented.One prominent mystery involves two utility poles buried in concrete, which some witnesses have claimed to observe shaking. Sievers said the poles seem to make a rattling sound sometimes. Additionally the ground has been reported as shaking at a rate of 50-feet an hour."They are two sets of double polls buried in concrete with a road running between them," Sievers said. "People up at Lucky Point watching for U.F.O.s have reported hearing the poles rattle."REMC, the utility company responsible for maintaining the poles, has denied there is any problem with the poles. However, Sievers claims company representatives know about the polls, but have told him they cannot determine the reason for the rattling poles.Another problem which Sievers says accompanies the rattling is that such items as camcorders mysteriously stop working in the area of the poles.Sievers said it can take five visits to Lucky Point before one is able to hear the mysterious rattling noise."Witnesses who have heard the noise and reported it to us have said it could not be the electricity. Sometimes the vibrations are so extreme that the insulators holding the wire will jar and rattle," Sievers said.Sievers said that in the 1980s a researcher said the underground sound was caused by magnetic activity. He added a geologist discounted that theory.Fellow U.P.R.P. member Sharon Smith said she believes there is something very spooky about the Lucky Point area. Smith says she is sensitive to supernatural activities, and can sense the presence of spirits.Smith added that even her own son could sense something was there."My son and I were both out there one day, we both sensed something else was there; the hair on the back of my neck stood up. He started into the woods, but turned back."It is Smith's belief that the area is protected by the spirits of the Native Americans who used to live on the land. The Lucky Point area might at one time have been a burial ground."I believe everyone has psychic powers which can act as windows and doorways into other places," Smith said.The area first started to become popular for U.F.O. watchers in the 1970s, and continues to be a popular gathering spot, Sievers said. Lots of people have offered up different explanations for the mysterious activities, some of which Sievers himself has a hard time believing."Some psychics have claimed there is an underground hanger for outer space ships in the area, but there is no proof," Smith said."That will have to be proven to me, but there has been a lot of speculation about it," Sievers said.Added in with the mysterious noise and spirits are many sightings of U.F.O.s, which is what Lucky Point is primarily noted for.Also MUFON of Indiana has a whole section on Lucky Point with various reports of sightings.http://indianamufon.homestead.com/luckypoint.htmlAnd EERIE Radio has a whole episode dedicated to Lucky Point.http://eerieradio.libsyn.com/index.php?post id=214856#
