An intimate road trek alongside the boys of TWC. Chris and Mike document their trip to Ashmore Estates for a Day and Night ghost hunt in Ashmore, IL.

Always nice to hear from visitors

Jessica ~ My boyfriend and his son watched the Ghost adventure episode before going, and I had to explain to them, it’s nothing like that. It’s such a welcoming, homey feeling! And once you go once, you always want to go back. It amazing what your doing for that place, most people would have just tore it down and forgot about it.

PARA ~ My group investigated last night and we had a lot of experiences. I wanted to let you know what those were, so you could share them with other guests if you would like. The 2nd floor was definitely the hot spot. We had a few spirit box responses on the 3rd floor, but on the second floor, we had other things as well. In addition to inelegant spirit box responses, we had several people who saw shadow figures and more significant, we had a lot of interactions in Hannah’s room. We asked someone to make a noise and we heard a pebble be tossed. We actually found the pebble. We had this experience reoccur at least 4 times and every time, we would find a new pebble in the room. It was very interesting.

TH ~ We want to thank you for a wonderful time. Hannah is a doll and its nice she knows so much about the place. The bunk houses were very nice, I was pleasantly surprised. I wanted a place close to home to take my curiosity group that has never been on any haunting. I would love to come back next year with my actual team and if Hannah wants to join she’s more than welcome. Thanks again, we will be back!

RJ ~ Just wanted to take a moment to say how much we enjoyed our time at Ashmore Estates. It was seriously the best experience my husband and I have had with an investigation. Hannah was amazing! Friendly, informative, welcoming, helpful and just absolutely cool – it would not have been the same without her! The way you have set it up to accommodate technology was a very nice surprise, so thank you for that! 🙂 Wanted to share my positive experience with you! We are looking forward to returning again soon!

Danny ~ I just wanted to send a quick message and say THANK YOU for having my group at Ashmore Estates. Many in my group were new to investigating and have never experienced anything supernatural. I can safely say they believe or are much more open to believing. I was doing live audio editing there after every EVP session. We captured over 40EVPs and many intelligent responses on the spirit box. I made sure everyone was very polite to the spirits and we felt nothing evil. However my friend, a police officer, was grabbed on the leg and yelped and must’ve almost jumped through the ceiling! Right after a little boy came through the digital recorder and said “wanna play with me?

Chuck ~ Drove here from NJ. I was there for a private overnight investigation on July 12 by myself and I had a fantastic time! Ashley gave a great tour which I appreciated very much for my first time there. I felt very comfortable moving around the building, had some good interaction, especially with my Trigger Dog. I would love to return again in the future!

Kim ~ I wanted to thank you for the great time we had Saturday night you have a great place to investigate and tell Teri thank for the great tour and being very helpful thank you again we will be back
