Product Description
For nearly two decades, Troy Taylor has been delving into the ghosts and haunted places in the state of Illinois but in this book, the author takes a journey down a darker road and takes readers on a search for the strange, terrifying and bizarre in this mysterious region. For centuries, Illinois has played host to the unexplained from the ancient mysteries of Cahokia, the stone forts of southern Illinois, anomalous petroglyphs and many other oddities from our distant past. Journey back in time to this lost era and then go on a hunt for the state's chilling creatures, including Bigfoot, Thunderbirds, phantom panthers, water creatures and some of the strangest beasts to ever walk on four feet --- or two! Finally, take the plunge into the depths of the unexplained as we search for answers to the state's greatest enigmas like the Macomb Poltergeist, Williamsburg Hill, Illinois' spook lights, Watseka Wonder, Illinois' sky mysteries, flying saucer invasions, Illinois vampires, the Mad Gasser of Mattoon and much more! Don't miss out on this amazing book --- including accounts, stories, eyewitness reports and in-depth research that has never appeared in print before! This is a book not to miss and a unique addition to the popular "Haunted Illinois Series".

One for every State? September 9, 2008
This book is a well written survey of documented mysteries in Illinois. Some are poorly explained ancient sites, such as the "Old Stone Forts". Others include river pirate hide outs and an assortment of hauntings and appearent gravitational anomolies. The book doesn't sensationalize as much as highlight and the GPS information allows the interested to go conduct research of their own. The book is worth a read. I wish such a well researched and written volume was available for every State.

I was born and raised in Central Illinois and i have always been fascinated with the unknown. This book grabs you and pulls you in and you cant put it down until you have read it all. It has good stories with details and pictures. I would recommend this book to anyone. Wether you live in Illinois or not this is a must read. Troy Taylor is a great author and all his books are must reads.
