Attention fans of the Legends and Lore of Illinois, the time you have been waiting for has arrived: our monthly newsletter is back and better than ever! Plus, we have brand new features for you exclusive to this website all throughout 2012.
From 2007 through 2010, I wrote 47 issues of the Legends and Lore of Illinois, a monthly digital newsletter dedicated to exploring some of the most famous as well as the most obscure haunted and legendary places in Illinois. This year, as many of you know, I took a break from the newsletter to concentrate on creating content for this website. Today I am confident that trueillinoishaunts.com has a steady readership, and so I am bringing back the Legends and Lore of Illinois for another year.
In 2012, we will explore such places as Munger Road, the Winston Tunnel, Robinson Woods, Cave-in-Rock, and the Old Stone House, among many others. As always, the continuing adventures of your favorite paranormal investigators, The Fallen, will be included in each issue. New issues will be posted around the first of every month, and they will be free to download in .pdf format. Each issue will be filled with photos and information you won’t see anywhere else.
New content is coming in 2012 for trueillinoishaunts.com as well! Every month we will feature a Jeopardy edition of our Ghostly Games. Each round of trivia will feature three categories with three questions each, each question more difficult than the last. I strongly encourage you to play along at home! Also, we will have a new monthly feature called “Head 2 Head,” in which two different haunted places are compared – and you get to pick which one you think is the scariest!
We will also continue to feature reviews, “Paranormal 101,” new polls, creepy quotes, your ghost stories, and much more! So keep coming back every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in 2012 for new posts. Sign up for our e-mail subscription to have posts delivered directly to your inbox – it’s free!

I grew up in the 70′s in Riverdale, IL Have you ever heard any stories from others that had weird experiences there? The street I grew up on was 138th Stewart. I truly believe that entire street is haunted by something. The house I grew up in was very haunted. My parents purchased it brand new, so there’s no possibility that anyone previous had passed away in that house.
