| ALTON HAUNTINGS -- REGISTER NOW FOR FALL 2011!
According to legend, Mark Twain once called Alton a "dismal little river town", largely thanks to the dark history that the city had already endured prior to its heyday as a thriving Mississippi River port. From its earliest days, Alton has seen more than its share of death, disease, disaster, violence and murder. Now come see how the events of the past have created the hauntings of today in what has come to be known as "one of the most haunted small towns in America!" The Alton Hauntings Tour is an entertaining and spine-tingling "frightseeing tour" that takes an unnerving look at the history and haunts of the city. Called the "most authentic" tour in the region, this is the only tour that was personally created by author Troy Taylor and is based on his best-selling book, Haunted Alton! | Join us for our award-winning ghost tours of Alton and discover the TRUE stories of this haunted little town. We're not just an ordinary ghost tour -- no phony psychics or made-up stories -- this is the real thing! Tickets for the Alton Hauntings Tours go on sale at 11:59 PM on Monday, September 5 for the general public but YOU can get yours NOW as a newsletter subscriber! |
