Take the 618-mile Trip to Illinois

Stops include:

•  Damen Silos (McKinley Park)
• Axemans's Bridge (Crete)
• Mantena State Hospital (Manteno)
• Peoria State Hospital (Bartonville)
• Vishnu Springs (Colchester)
• Ashmore Estate (Ashmore).

Each location brings a unique story and history to the place. Not sure if I can stomach a hospital of Estate, but the bridge and silos seem really interesting to me.

Ashmore Estate for me is probably the creepiest and most haunted place that I have learned about. The history of the home is pretty fascinating with documented deaths in the house, some from a house fire, and one maintenance worker that was hit by a train, brought back to the place where he died. The worker has been seen, heard, and felt by several paranormal teams that have investigated the house, especially women.

I would do this if I was with a bunch of people and not by myself, but going to these places alone with no one to hear me scream...Nope, I'm out!
