Illinois is a gold mine of haunted places – both off the beaten path, and haunted tours and houses. People think that you have to go to big cities for the great frights but these awesome places located in good ole Illinois will have you very glad you came!

Boo Crew – Just a hop, skip and a jump from our wonderful State Capital of Springfield Il. tucked away in the small town of Buckhart you will find this awesome Haunted House. It is ranked in the top 5 haunted houses in Illinois!  It is advised that they are proud to scare victims from far and wide!

Haunted Decatur – Downstate’s longest-running ghost tour experience, Haunted Decatur has many public and private tour options. From downtown walking tours to ghost hunter tours, they’ve got you covered.

Alton Hauntings – Mark Twain once called Alton a “dismal little river town”, according to legend. Alton saw quite a bit of death, disease, and violence throughout the early 1900s. Learn about Alton’s history through haunted tours.

“Alton’s most authentic ghost tour”, it’s $25 for walking tours, $40 for bus tours.They have extended ghost hunter tours, too. Fall tours start in August.

Weird Chicago Tours – Ghosts, gangsters, mystery, and mayhem of the Windy City. Many walking tour options are available through Weird Chicago Tours. The Devil & the White City Tour looks awesome! There’s also a super creepy looking True Crime and Serial Killer Tour. Weird Chicago Tours have been voted “Best Tour in Chicago” by several outlets and is a must see for all lovers of weird!

Flight 191 Crash Site – In 1979, Flight 191 lost part of its engine as it was taking off, and it exploded on the runway, killing all the crew and passengers aboard. Since then, people have reported seeing white lights moving around the crash site, and those who lived in the mobile home park next to the crash site experienced knocks on the door with nobody there.

Waldheim Cemetery – Cemeteries are some of our favorite haunted places to visit, but Waldheim Cemetery is one of the most well-known for being haunted. The Flapper Ghost has been seen since the 1930s, and has been very active off and on since then. Remember to be respectful when visiting all cemeteries, haunted or not!

Statesville Haunted Prison – This is one of the most popular haunted attractions in the entire country, and definitely #1 in Illinois! From the website: The prisoners have rioted, the guards have fled, and darkness has seized control of this maximum security prison. Find your way through 23 maximum security cells and come eye to eye with over 100 criminals that were too evil to die. No one escapes! Open October 1st through November 1st, admission price is $30 and worth every penny.

13th Floor –
This world-famous haunted house is not for the faint of heart (13+ age limit as well). Did you know that 85% of buildings with elevators do not have marked 13th floors? There’s good reason for that, according to legend. Visit this haunted house to find out why you should never stop on the 13th floor!

ScarryTown Scream Park–

This haunted in Illinois attraction features 3 main haunted attractions which include Circus of fear, Nightmare Asylum which are both indoor attractions and a outdoor attraction called Deadwood Haunted Trail.
