Welcome to our new weekly feature ✨#HauntedHotSpot✨, where we take a deeper look at some of the most famous (and famously terrifying) sites in the world.
This week’s pick: McPike Mansion
Perched over the town of Alton atop its highest point, Mount Lookout Park, historic McPike Mansion is a hotspot for paranormal investigators who claim to feel the presence of its original owners, Eleanor and Henry McPike, as well as other residents.
Some even believe the haunts date back to before the house was built, with detections of Indigenous ghosts and a residue from a possible Underground Railroad stop. Overall, more than 11 spirits have been experienced throughout the home.
