The Haunted Antique Shop





downtown Alton with the Mississippi River nearby




 McPike Mansion, a favorite destination of paranormal enthusiasts in Alton







  1. You should have asked the shop owner if they had experienced it. Love your ghost stories, re-read the one from last year. :) Happy Halloween.

  2. Gosh, Brittany..
    Scare the.. out of me with the first photo. (right now, I'm glad we don't celebrate Halloween here. Otherwise, I'd be jumping freaking out every second.)
    Some youngsters had a party last night (a friend of mine JUST send me a photo of her brother). As adorable as he is the "usuall" days, he looked awkward, scary and just plain gore last night.
    Strange thing:
    I'm utery scared by baby cradles. I just am. There's a hint of ghostly presence whenever I see an empty cradle. I guess I can blame all the old slasher-horror movies I saw as a teenager.

    Big hug, darling

  3. Oh I loved this post! Dang , what an experience. I would have been so curious but most likely booked it out of there too!!

  4. Oooh, now that is spooky, because it goes beyond "just" seeing or hearing something and into the realm of a full on physical experience. I've never, as far as I know - and I really think I would know, if I did - had an unexplained encounter that involved a sharp change in my physical temperate. Scary stuff, dear gal! I really hope you never run into anything like that again.

  5. Dude, I'm totally going to go there on my next Alton trip and see what's up.
