THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Tucked away in the historic, heavily haunted town of Galena, Illinois, this area is steeped in 19th-century mining history and ghostly lore. Visitors and passing ghost tours routinely document unexplainable cold spots, disembodied whispers, and objects shifting within the historic structures.
The house has changed hands multiple times. It was a food store called “Comfort and Joy” for a time in the 2000s, but is now home to an art gallery called Galene’s Paradise.
