Mineral Springs Hotel
The Mineral Springs Hotel in Alton, Illinois has a long, rich history of hauntings. Stories of the Lavender Lady that fell to her demise after being pushed down the hotel staircase, the rumors of the deaths of long ago hotel visitors that perished in the hotel pool, and several others are echoed through the halls of the now office building and café.
St. Louis Ghost Hunters were very excited to have an opportunity to investigate the old hotel. Upon arrival STLGH were met by Steve, a fellow paranormal enthusiast and affiliate of the Hotel. Steve provided very in depth tour of the Hotel. He showed us the “hot spots” found during previous investigations and shared with us the folklore and facts of the horrific history of the Mineral Springs.

Darron House, Collinsville, IL
Ms. Darron contacted St. Louis Ghost Hunters after she inherited the residence in Collinsville, IL. Ms. Darron explained that she, and others, had experienced a number of noises and feelings while in the home. She told STLGH that she had heard footstep in other rooms and other levels of the home while cleaning the home. Her husband told us of a basket that had appeared in the middle of the kitchen without explanation. He noted that he had thrown away the basket on a number of occasions and each time the basket returned to its original location. She also advised that in several situations trinkets were found in rooms that had been previously cleaned. Ms. Darron expressed her concern to be alone in the home and told us that none of her friends would return to the property with her.
