Ashmore Estates  

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.

WE ARE BOOKING PRIVATE INVESTIGATIONS AND TOURS. You may contact us here or at our phone of 217-899-9978 or email us at info@ashmoreestates.net. We have electrical set up on each floor and a team room where heat has been included.  We are working on making this the best paranormal investigation experience that it can be.  The building is owned by a paranormal investigator and he has the help of many other investigators.  We are taking the ideas of many and turning this location into a great investigative experience.  There is a new roof on the building and all windows have been replaced or the openings have been completely enclosed.  There is now sunlight inside Ashmore Estates, something that hasn't been for over 16 years.  We have some great plans for the building and as anyone that has been to the building since we purchased it May 3, 2014 will let you know it has improved. Thank you for your patience with us and we hope the building will bring as much joy to you as it has to us while working on it.

We had a request from Edward from Over the Road Paranormal so thought we would share the info on our website so others would have it as well.  Thanks Edward for asking about it, always glad to help investigators when we can.  Click each photo to enlarge.

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. 

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?”
