Springfield, IL Hauntings

There are several in this town, but I have included only a few. I plan on going on a ghost tour there next year, so I can take pics and post more hauntings. If you know of any not on here, please email me details and directions.

Calvary Cemetery:

There is a legend of an angel statue the sits on top of a grave near the park side entrance of the cemetery. Supposedly, she turns around and weeps when it is late, or on a certain date, or something like that. Also, there are several large, old trees in the cemetery that move and sway, even if there is no wind.

Lake Club:

1930's building that was used by the mafia.  Allegedly people were killed there by Al Capone and his gang.  Doors close, you can hear footsteps but see no one, there is also visions of a man and woman that were murdered there by a jealous husband.  They did a show on this bldg. it burned down in 2004.

Panther Creek Subdivision:

Since Panther Creek was founded, reports of mysterious footprints of a large cat have been reported. Also, people have claimed to have seen a large leopard or such in the wooded area around the area. Growling and sometimes roaring can be heard near the creek itself.

Prairie Capitol Convention Center:

Strange happenings such as doors slamming and seats slamming shut. The convention center is haunted by a young boy that was killed in the convention center while watching a tractor pull. Boy was killed by flying engine parts from a blown tractor engine. He died instantly and is still their wondering the convention hall at night.

Theatre Center:

Joe supposedly haunts the theatre! He was one of the best actors there one night when he was coming out of the building he was pulled be hind an alley and was murdered! He has haunted the theatre ever since.

The Lincoln-Herndon Law Office:

I don't know if this is really haunted, but my husband and I went there once a few years back. The whole time we were walking through it, I felt a huge pressure on my chest, almost like a weight was sitting on it. I only experienced it in that office. Once I stepped outside, I was fine and prior to going in, I was fine.
