Boo 812 Paranormal Documentation · SoIN Tourism Haunted History Digital Passport
The Red Yeti is a restaurant in downtown Jeffersonville, Indiana, in the cluster of commercial buildings that make up the city's Spring Street corridor near the Ohio River waterfront. Jeffersonville's downtown has a documented history of 19th-century commercial and wartime use, with multiple buildings in the area dating to the Civil War era.
Boo 812, a paranormal investigation group that operates across the southern Indiana and Louisville region, investigated the Red Yeti and included their findings in the Haunted 812 digital passport — a geo-referenced experience product that guides participants to documented paranormal sites across the 812 area code. Investigators documented a 'beach ball–sized light' that they observed flying out of the kitchen oven and crashing into a wall, an anomaly they captured and described in their investigation records.
SoIN Tourism, the official destination marketing organization for Clark and Floyd counties in Indiana, included the Red Yeti as a stop on their Haunted History Jeffersonville digital passport experience, giving the site a formal position in the region's tourism infrastructure.

The paranormal accounts attached to the Red Yeti split between investigator-documented phenomena and ongoing staff reports. Boo 812's investigation produced the most specific documented claim: investigators observed and described a 'beach ball–sized light' that emerged from the kitchen oven and traveled across the room before striking a wall. The nature of the anomaly — its size, trajectory, and behavior — was unusual enough to anchor Boo 812's inclusion of the restaurant in their Haunted 812 passport.
Staff accounts describe a different character of activity: ice scoops thrown across the bar area when the space is unoccupied, disembodied hands observed opening doors, and glasses that fly off the bar without physical contact. These types of reports — involving objects used in day-to-day restaurant operations — are the category of paranormal claim most associated with older commercial buildings in the Ohio River valley, where the weight of 19th-century use and human occupation accumulates within spaces that have seen continuous activity across generations.
Dine at the Red Yeti, a downtown Jeffersonville restaurant featured on Boo 812's Haunted 812 digital passport. Boo 812 investigators documented a beach-ball-sized light anomaly here; staff have separately reported ice scoops thrown by unseen forces and glasses flying off the bar.

Kouts, IN
Baums Bridge Inn is a long-running bar and grill at 1092 S Baums Bridge Rd in Kouts (Porter County), Indiana. The establishment sits in the historic Baum's Bridge area near the community of Mayville, a rural Porter County locality with documented nineteenth-century settlement history. The area's most compelling ghost story documents a 1912 rainstorm encounter and was preserved in 'The Stroller' column of the Vidette-Messenger of Porter County by William Ormond Wallace.
Mishawaka, IN
The building at 706 Lincolnway W has served as a Hacienda Mexican restaurant location for decades, housed within a mansion that has older roots tied to the Mishawaka brewing trade. An alternative tradition holds that a young man fell to his death from a brewery tower on the property during the industrial era.
Evansville, IN
This 1886 building near the Ohio River in Evansville's Riverside District was associated with author Annie Fellows Johnston, who wrote the popular 'Little Colonel' series of children's books, and her sister Hallie Eaves Johnston. It now operates as Penny Lane Coffee.
