JEFFERSONVILLE — Southern Indiana’s rich history — and former inhabitants — have a tendency to come alive.

Quite literally.In just over one year in business, Red Yeti

Brewing Co. has quickly built a reputation for having high-quality food and satisfying home-brewed craft suds. It also is becoming known for something a bit more spectral: It’s rumored to have some ghostly guests.

In today’s centerpiece Elizabeth Beilman ex-plores what could be a modern haunting at the downtown Jeffersonville brewpub.

Owner Brandi Ronau has some pretty convincing evidence.

Subtle mishaps — the sound of pots and pans falling in the kitchen but no mess to be found — to truly bizarre and impossible occurrences such as a pint glass flying from a shelf and smashing on the ground, have all been caught on security cameras, Beilman writes.

The haunted happenings have inspired the Institute for

the Study of Religious and Anomalous Experi-ence — skeptics in its own right — to investi-gate Red Yeti. During one visit, Katie Glesing, marketing manager for ISRAE, witnessed a second strange phenomenon.

You’ll have to turn the pages to find out what she saw — and what was caught on cam-era. More chilling evidence has been captured on audio recordings. Staff has seen the unex-plainable.

The happenings have resulted in some unexpected publicity, as Red Yeti is now mentioned on the Kentucki-ana Historical Haunted Tours in Jeffersonville, the annual fundraiser for the institute.

But don’t let these stories keep you from visiting: Red Yeti’s food, and beer, is scary good.

Thirsty spiritsParanormal research

group looks into sightings at Red Yeti

By ELIZABETH BEILMANelizabeth.beilman@newsandtribune.com

JEFFERSONVILLE — Somewhere in Red Yeti Brewing Co.’s historic building lurks a spirit, though it rarely shows its face.

Ask any Red Yeti employee if they’ve ex-perienced anything strange in the downtown Jeffersonville establishment, and a small smile will creep across their face.

Some believe the apparition is a child who died in an upstairs apartment fire more than 20 years ago. And the spirit is not the only myste-rious phenomena at Red Yeti that has caught the attention of paranormal investigators.

Subtle mishaps — the sound of pots and pans falling in the kitchen but no mess to be found — to truly bizarre and impossible occurrenc-es such as a pint glass flying from a shelf and smashing on the ground, have all been caught on security cameras.

At this point, co-owner Brandi Ronau said it all feels just kind of normal.

“It’s not anything angry,” Ronau said. “There’s been so many instances, it’s just kind of funny.”

But it’s enough that the owners of Red Yeti called in members of the Institute for the Study of Religious and Anomalous Experience, or ISRAE, a local research group that studies paranormal data from a scientific perspective. They’ve conducted two field studies and plan to come back for a third.

Katie Glesing, marketing manager for ISRAE, said the group is the only paranor-mal research in the United States that’s ac-tively collecting solid data that is published in academic journals.

“I would say I err on the side of judg-ment, so if there’s evidence, I’ll believe whatever the data says,” Glesing said. “ ... So the institute walks the path of if there’s data, we’re going to call it anomalous.”

Investigators create laboratory settings in the homes or businesses they research, sectioning off rooms and setting up sta-tionary cameras and microphones. They meticulously track all team members and all sounds at all times.

“It is very much not like the TV shows because on the TV shows, they carry every-thing with them,” Glesing said. “They can’t account for anyone at any place in time.”

During an investigation at Red Yeti, Gles-ing witnessed the second strangest thing she has in her time with the institute.

“A light shot up out of the wall, and it was just a big cylinder, blue light,” she said. “It just appears out of nowhere and crack-led like a flash of lightning and flew back

into the wall.”The occurrence, caught on camera, was

in the kitchen — the most active part of the building, Ronau said.

Red Yeti Executive Chef Michael Bowe said he’s seen things he can’t explain, like an empty commercial mop bucket upright on wheels suddenly tipping over on its side.

“It’s been totally fine, it’s just been very eerie in the early morning, and you always feel like someone is in there with you,” Bowe said.

He said it’s changed his view of paranor-mal activity, which before he didn’t really believe.

“I’m not looking for it at all,” he said.Ronau said she had no idea that the

property would come with such strange happenings when she purchased it and

LOUISVILLE — Open Stu-dio Weekend is a partnership of Louisville Visual Arts, or LVA, and University of Louisville Hite Art Institute to raise funds for LVA’s signature program Children’s Fine Art Classes and the Hite Art Institute’s Mary Spencer Nay Scholarship programs.

The innovative weekend of fundraising events is in its third year, having replaced the partnership’s annual art auction event of 47 years, according to an LVA news release. The goal of this endeavor is to deepen LVA’s relationship with exist-ing donors and to expand our connection to potential donors while simultaneously support-ing local talent. OSW expands cultural and economic opportu-nities for artists and art lovers alike.

“Open Studio Weekend is the perfect blending of art, culture, and community,” said Penny Leach, LVA’s business manager.

Last year, the Launch Party alone hosted 500 art patrons. High attendance at this and other OSW events resulted in $30,000 in sales by artists’ in their studios, and $41,053 in net proceeds for LVA and Hite Art Institute.

Open Studio Weekend is an “economic-centric” program:

support for this program not only bolsters LVA and Hite Art Institute, it also fosters the economic and business growth of local artists and promotes the visual arts culture in Louisville. OSW represents LVA’s continu-ous quest to develop new, inno-vative and productive opportu-nities relevant to the community and to the organization.

“With over 100 artists partici-pating, this is the biggest Open Studio Weekend yet, and it still is only a glimpse into the length and breadth of our visual art community,” said Keith Waits, facilities manager.

moved in upstairs with husband,

Paul, and her children.

Her first experience happened about a month after she moved in.

She was in the shower and heard

her sister, Shelly, calling playfully,

“Where’s my sister?” Ronau shouted

through the door that she’d be down

in a minute.

When she came out, she asked her

children where Shelly was. They’d

heard their aunt, too, but couldn’t

find her after looking around for her. She started growing frustrated,

thinking her children were joking.

“And I’m like, ‘I just heard her

voice. Just tell me and we’ll move on

with this,’” Ronau said. “And they

do not know.”

Ronau contacted her sister Shelly

through a walkie-talkie style chat

app called Voxer. Shelly was in New Albany, alone.

Later, ISRAE listened back to the

Voxer conversation as part of their research and heard a little boy’s

voice, who sounded like Shelly’s

son, say, ‘Where’s my sister?’”

Ronau, who has since moved out

of the apartment above, doesn’t seem

bothered by it.

Red Yeti is now mentioned on

the Kentuckiana Historical Haunted

Tours in Jeffersonville, the annual

fundraiser for the institute.

As far as Red Yeti staff can tell, it

doesn’t appear these hauntings will

end any time soon.

Red Yeti employee Travis Dingess works to close down the kitchen on Tues-day evening. According to employees, the kitchen experiences the most activity, typically late at night.
