Hauntings

It's a much-visited historic Missouri bridge. What could possibly go wrong if you were to visit it at night? If legend is to be believed, you don't want to find out.

It was like a dream team of paranormal investigators. The original Ghost Hunters teamed up with Destination Fear to investigate the old Joliet prison in Illinois and they encountered a lot of unexplained phenomena including voices.

We've seen a lot of investigations of the Old Missouri State Penitentiary over the years. The fact that most ghost hunters consider it one of the most haunted places in the Midwest is the reason why. One TV show recently returned to the penitentiary and found new things that went bump in the night.

When you think of clowns, the hope is that you'll associate that with laughter and happiness. In the case of the Illinois clown graveyard, the opposite is true. It's the story of a tragedy that took the lives of 86 entertainers late at night on June 22, 1918.

It's completely expected for a ghost to try and scare people, but to try and hit on an investigator's girl is completely uncalled for. That's what one Missouri paranormal investigator alleged during a recent investigation of a haunted hotel.

In Union, Missouri, it's simply referred to as 'The Screaming House'. How haunted is it? In 1956, the Catholic Church issued a 156 page report officially designating it as 'haunted'.

It looks like a very ordinary Missouri home, but when you listen to the stories, you begin to understand the horrifying legend of what is known as 'The Woman in Black' in Webster Groves.

Would you be willing to walk through a hotel that has a reputation of being one of the nation's most haunted even if it existed practically in your own backyard? You have that chance virtually as several investigators took a creepy walk through the Ruebel Hotel in Grafton, Illinois.
