TIME: 6:23 PM to 9:29 PM
PLACE: Alton, Illinois
SUBJECT: Mid Summer Night of Fright tour @ the McPike Mansion
The McPike Mansion in Alton, Illinois has been known to have paranormal occurrences. They have been featured on an episode of “Ghost Hunters”
If you google “McPike Mansion” you will find lots of links to paranormal sites and photos as well as the official home page.
They conduct monthly tours to raise money for the restoration of the house. My sister, her oldest son David, Stella and I took the tour this evening. We learned the history and saw vintage photos of the past residents as well as some photos with some unexplained objects.

We then toured the grounds.
Back of the house
Crypt on the grounds – no one knows who was buried there.
It’s had to see, but there is a spider on the side of the crypt.
Shadows on the house.
Then we entered the cellar and they turned out all the lights.
It was very dark.
Like “can’t see your hand in front of your face” dark.
The Medium, Sandy Little Lizard, let us know when the spirits arrived.
Some of the folks claimed they felt them there.
I couldn’t tell if I saw spirits or if I was just seeing the floaters in my eyes.
My sister took this photo – those are my knees in the front – do you see the round orb?
Maybe they were closer to me than I realized.
