FULLER BUMPERS HISTORY PROJECT HAUNTED BATESVILLE…AND YOU! CLICK HERE!!

In October 2023, Fuller Bumpers, Attorney at Law and the Fuller Bumpers History Project hosted walking tours of Main Street Batesville. Now, these were not just any run of the mill look-at-all-our-local-history tours. No, this had a special connection to the month they were held in. Haunted history was front and center all three nights, and even a couple of special event nights as well, tales of ghouls and ghosties, of feuds and vaudeville fights, of mothers and murder. Mingling facts with what some believe to be fantasy while others are true believers in our city’s paranormal past, these tours proved extremely popular. Not only were they so well received that they will again take place later this year, but there have been multiple requests for the curator of the Fuller Bumpers History Project to produce a book, a volume of supernatural stories about Batesville’s storied and haunted history.

Well, that is what is going to happen, but it won’t be possible without Your help. While the teller of Batesville’s ghost stories on our tour has plenty to choose from for a book, we’d love to have even more. Our goal with this book of Batesville stories would be to put out a comprehensive collection of haunted history, which always has a fair amount of history alongside the haunted, focused on the city of Batesville and surrounding area in Independence County. The stories we’re looking for are tales that aren’t made up just to frighten children of all ages, but actual experiences or stories you have been told about occurrences, events, and such of the supernatural in Batesville, or at least nearby.

Find below a form that you can print out (or cut and paste, or just answer the questions in an email) and complete and send to bumperscasecoordinator@gmail.com. If your story seems to fit what we are looking for, we will reach out and discuss more details. Credit will be given to anyone who shares a tale and wants to be credited. If you have any questions, please send an email to the aforementioned address. And for those who do send us stories, welcome to the Fuller Bumpers History Project,
