Trolley tours begin at My Just Desserts, in the historic Simeon Ryder Building. Dating to 1845, the building served as a courthouse during the 1800s and saw cases tried by the young attorney from Springfield, Abraham Lincoln. The evening begins in the second floor meeting room, where EMFs are active and orbs are abundant.
Tours include a three-hour trolley jaunt to some Alton’s most sinister haunts…
- First stop will be the Alton City Cemetery. Spirits roam freely in this vast necropolis, home to many of Alton’s finest families – some have gone to their final resting place while others remain near the markers that bear their name.
- Second stop is the Franklin Lodge. Founded in 1836, the lodge was home to Antoinette's Haunted History Tours from 2008 - 2011. Visit the Robert Wadlow museum, a tribute to the lodge's most famous member. Evidence of arcane activities include phantom footsteps, blinking lights and mysterious (sometimes tall) dark shadows.
- Last stop is the enigmatic McPike Mansion. Sitting vacant, aside from its ghostly inhabitants, this historic dwelling is the epitome of a haunted house. Join in a dark room session in the vaulted wine cellar –
where many elemental spirits reside.
Ghost hunters are encouraged to bring cameras and ghost hunting equipment.
Dinner tours include a sumptuous meal prepared by My Just Desserts; Autumn Salad, Chicken Tettrezini,
homemade roll, choice of Pumpkin Pecan Pie or Toll House Brownie and coffee or iced tea. Dinner tours begin on the first floor, 31 East Broadway in Alton, IL. Waking the Dead, Bare Bones and Witching Hour tours begin on the second floor.
