It's about 2 miles outside of Hannibal, in the area of Hannibal Regional Hospital, White Bear Caves and Spartan International.  I should say more West than North, if you find Highway 36, you should find the hospital. The HRH road connects with a road running paralelle called MM. When HRH road crosses MM it becomes White Bear Road, the church is located some what on the corner of White Bear Road and the first avaliable left (not sure of the road # will look into it though)

Creepy, lol.  I think it's creepier that a bunch of cars would line up every weekend to hear what's thought to be the sound of dying boy, lol.  But these things do attract.  Yes, I had some foxes where I used to live and when we first moved there, I heard what I would've sworn was a child screaming it's head off.  Scared the crap out of me.  And in the woods, you're never really sure where the sound is coming from.  Finally one morning hubby heard it too and said it was a fox.  I'd seen them running around, but geez, never would've thought they'd make that noise, lol.

There are also rumors of hauntings at "White Bear Caves" and "Screaming
Johnny's", also "Devil's Tower" all in the same area in Hannibal. On the river front there is an old water plant and an amphitheater that might possibly be haunted. On Maine street an old movie theater called Star Theater is thought to be haunted. Below is a letter from a visitor to Ilasco.

It was founded in 1903,and was dissolved in 1963. Home to Mostly Slovak families. It housed most of the Atlas cement plant's workers.which was located just off of the settlement. In 1909 it housed about 3,000 people which made it Ralls counties largest settlement at that time. All that I could find out is that it was made up of in adition to houses, 8 Saloons, 7 Gen. stores early in the 1900's. The Romanian Lodge held many Funerals. Most of the settlers where buried in the Mt. Olivette and Riverfront cemeteries. In March 2nd of 1906 a large fire which started in one of the Gen. Stores spread threw the settlement and burnt most of the buildings down.In 1909 the Pauley Jail Building Co. built a 2 room escape proof  jail that could accommodate 8 people 'comfortably'. The entrance to this village is a small wooden/steel bridge, then just to your left is the two stores and then on past that to the left is the jail and to the right is the new Lutheran Church.

White Bear Caves are actually quite beautiful, more so than the comercialized Mark Twain Caves, but some bots did vanish in them in the early 70's. The Star Theater is actually on Broadway, dunno why it says Main St. About 80% of Hannibal is in Marion County though, only the southern outskirts is in Ralls County.

I will say this about Devil's Tower though, it is a very bad place and you should stay away from there. Stick with Screaming Johnny's and forget about Devil's Tower.

Ah ha ha! I see a Bears fan! I love that video! Boy.... Congrats on your Bears SB appearance. The Bears are also a team that I have been rooting for to got o the SB. They have also been long over due for it.

Yup, ToneCop is not much of a believer in the paranormal, and that why he's a great part of our group. He's also a real cop so there's no need to carry my gun along since he's aways carrying his. Also, he can tell the police department of our scouting around so no one runs us off.

We're doing a big foot search soon in the Big Thicket, Texas. Also, this is the same arae where I done my Saratoga Ghost Light investigation.
