Get ready for a spine-tingling evening with author Troy Taylor as he takes you on a journey into Illinois’ haunted history. This captivating virtual program, hosted by the Putnam County Public Library District on Tuesday, October 14th at 6:00 p.m., goes beyond ghost stories and folklore, uncovering the true tales behind some of the state’s most chilling legends and little-known haunts.

From the legends and lore surrounding Abraham Lincoln—America’s most haunted president—to the devoted bartender who never left his favorite nightclub, from one of the most famous spirit possessions in American history to the unsettling story of Chicago’s legendary vanishing hitchhiker, these eerie accounts will bring the state’s haunted past vividly to life. Whether you are a skeptic or a believer, this program promises to leave you with goosebumps—and perhaps even sleeping with the lights on.
