Ashmore Estates

22645 East County Road 1050N, Ashmore, IL 61912-9225

We want everyone to have a good time when they come to Ashmore Estates but most importantly we want all to be safe. Recently we have had situations were people thought it was a good idea to come to the building partially intoxicated or drinking while they were on the grounds. We will not accept this type of behavior as it is not safe for anyone during the event.

Ashmore Estates is an alcohol and drug free location. Come sober please.

Anyone found drinking or bringing alcohol or drugs onto the property will cause their entire group to leave with no refunds. Enjoy your visit at Ashmore but keep it sober and safe.

Daytime & Nighttime investigation with TWC

We have been wanting to do something like this for years. You can now attend a celebrity investigation during the day, night, or both. Ashmore Estates has been a very active location during the day but some celebs don't want to do daytime investigations. After talking with Chris and Mike they said lets do it. Grab your ticket now for this event. Experience the building during the day and then come back and see if things change at night. This is promising to be a lot of fun and a great chance to hang out with the TWC guys as well as other fans. Just click the pic and get your tickets

Overnight Investigations

We have had numerous teams investigate Ashmore Estates since we purchased it in May of 2014. If you have not been to Ashmore I think you will enjoy your experience there. Vast improvements have been done to the building to allow easier investigations. We are continuing to improve the location that has now been dedicated only to the history tours and paranormal investigations. In 2016 we built a room inside to reflect a bedroom and living room area. We repaired the top edge of the building that has was damage by the tornado in 2012. We also want to restore a hospital room on the third floor in 2017 to give it more of a historical feel. The private overnight investigations are $550 for up to 12 people from 7pm-10am. This includes the use of out bunk houses, 1 for every 4 members in your group. All three have 4 beds, electrical, TV & DVD player, heat, and AC. The large one also has a pull out couch, recliner, table and chairs and Netflix. There is a fire pit available as well and firewood may be available but not guaranteed, you can always bring your own or call in advance to check on it. Gas and charcoal grill are available as is the stove, refrigerator, microwave, pizza oven and coffee pot. There are 3 functioning bathrooms, weather permitting, 2 inside, and 1 outside for those tent camping. There is a shower also available as well. At this time we do not have maid service but who knows in the future. :)

For private investigation please check out our calendar for open dates.

Daytime investigations

Are you just a little scared to investigate at night but soooo want to get in and do something. Why not come and investigate during the day. We have had teams come and do this and had wonderful experiences. We've had many individuals during the day while working in the building experience hearing disembodied voices and seeing images. Most believe that spirits are in the afterlife as they were when living so why wouldn't they be roaming the halls of the Poor farm or mental care facility. We know you will have a good time while investigating during the daytime. We will be offering public daytime events as well. Email us today to secure a date to bring your team, friends, or family to investigate Ashmore Estates during the day. info@hauntedashmoreestates.net

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!
