Haunted Places in Illinois
Illinois is a Midwestern state jam-packed with haunts. Famous for being known as the “Land of Lincoln”, it’s because his ghost still haunts there!
Springfield is the sight of his grave at the Oak Ridge Cemetery where visitors have spotted him walking near his very own tombstone a night. Speaking of haunted cemeteries, the Woodlawn Cemetery of Oak Park is the final resting place of the tragic Showmen’s Rest Circus tragedy where a train derailment and fire tore an entire circus company apart overnight.

For over thirty years, there has been a place that has harbored the undead and jailed the damned – a place that was never intended on being enearthed by mortal men. Since 1981, The Catacombs of Saint Pascal have been a barrier to the ghouls and ghosts, monsters and madmen; a barrier that prevented these very creatures from entering our realm. Otherwise safeguarded by the church, there comes a time every year where that barrier must fall, a time where the undesireables can roam free. You are free to enter if you wish, but exiting…that we cannot guarantee. Read more…
