Ive been to Peoria, but havent visited the State Hospital. Ive Travelled to several Old Homesteads and museums; they are interesting and exciting to visit. Unusual occurances seem to happen to those who are ‘SENSITIVE” to such paranormal activity.
One great place to see is the Jesse James’ Farm in Missouri. You can also visit the Cemetary in town.
Another unique place is the historical museum in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Definitely haunted!! (By a sincere and good woman spirit- Carrie). And don’t leave out the Villisca House in Iowa!! SCAREY!! Just ask Darwin………..

When they were still giving ghost hunts I went on one and it was fantastic!! It was a very cold night and I was in a group of 3 other women on the 3rd floor, they were looking out the big window there and I was standing behind them and something touched my neck (softly) and threw my hair up and my scarf around my neck almost came all the way off!! It was awesome!! We need to do what we can to help them save this historic building! You can go to Save The Bowen Building .com, if you’d like to help!

This is a great story and a great piece of historic architecture. Unfortunately Peoria State needs some help. Due to complications and legalities involved the Bowen Building is in need of restorations. This building, from what I’ve researched, is the last remaining building. If anyone wants to help save the Bowen you can visit their website to see how. Every little bit helps. I would hate to see this place fall to total disrepair. The website is peoria-asylum.com
