Some Call it Home

The Haunting of Ashmore Estates

The Coles County Poor Farm. A home for the homeless. The end of the line for those considered the dregs of society. Men, women and children with special needs; those suffering alcoholism, mental illness, or substance abuse; or simply incapable of supporting themselves. All of them called this rural Illinois facility home.

Stories swirl around Ashmore Estates…stories of ghosts…of demons…of dark entities who attack the unwary. Does the laughter of a little girl who burned to death still echo through the empty rooms? Can the spirit of a man believed to have been killed by a speeding train still stalk the hallways and grounds?

Join author Richard Estep (TV’s “Haunted Hospitals,” “Paranormal 911” and “Paranormal Revenge”) as he and a team of dedicated researchers explore the mysteries of the infamous Ashmore Estates.
