One of Illinois’ Most Haunted Places Wants You to Come Stay Overnight

Ashmore Estates is often considered the most haunted place in all of Illinois, and you have the chance to stay overnight there to experience all of the terror firsthand...if you're brave enough.

The History of Ashmore Estates in Illinois

Ashmore Estates, located in Ashmore, Illinois, has a long history full of creepy stories, depraved conditions, and paranormal experiences. It was built in 1916 and served as a county poorhouse before it was converted into a psychiatric facility in the mid-1950s.

If you go on a hunt for the history of Ashmore Estates you will find many unsettling stories about walls filled with vermin, mentally ill patients who have taken their own life inside the Estates' walls, and the ghost of a little girl who died in a fire at Ashmore Estates and continues to haunt its walls today.

A fire isn't the only force of nature that has tried to take down Ashmore Estates. The building was severely damaged by a storm that blew off its roof and destroyed its support gables back in January 2013, but since then it has been restored to its former, terrifying glory.

Here are just a few pics of the horror that awaits you inside...
