Join us on another chilling adventure through the heartland of Illinois as we explore the dark history and ghostly secrets that lurk in some of the state's most infamous haunted places. From an iconic skyscraper holding the spirit of a violent murderer, to a forest road that legend claims is wandered by a demon and his hellhound... each stop on this journey offers a glimpse in to the very real horrors that lie in wait across the Land of Lincoln. Do you dare brave a stay at one of the countries most supernaturally active hotels? Are you sure you're ready to cross the unholy grounds of a cursed old graveyard? Continue at your own risk...
