Manteno
Asylum / Hospital High Activity
History & Paranormal Activity
A 1930 psychiatric hospital on the Illinois prairie that became infamous for a 1939 typhoid outbreak that killed 400 patients — spread through contaminated water and ignored for weeks. The abandoned buildings produce consistent EVPs, shadow figures in the wards, and a cholera ghost that appears near the old water tower.
