The GAC complete their two-part investigation of Alton, IL when they make their way to the Mineral Springs Hotel. The Mineral Springs Hotel in Alton, Illinois, was once a thriving spa, where people came to bathe in the mineral waters and get healthy. But it’s also a place where people came to die. Some have taken their own lives, whether through a gun or pills, others slipped into the waters not knowing how to swim and found no one to help them. Today this building is haunted throughout. Some of the spirits from the past have no intention of leaving, and are tormenting those who go inside.

We have more Ghost Adventures news from Travel Channel. Their New Year celebrations will continue when the GA Crew kicks off 2019 with a special two-part episode: “Curse of the River Bend.”

  1. Grew up in Alton……love the haunted history….can’t wait…..

  2. Live in the area around alton and I have never bought into the ghost stories. I’ve met the owners of Mcpike Mansion and have been in the house and never saw any so called ghost and so forth

  3. Well I live in east Alton I went in the Mcpike Mansion and my family owned it

  5. What they need to investigate is the Jacoby building. It’s haunted as hell.

  6. The old stone house at the bottom of Alby Street hill is another haunted house in Alton, Ive seen several ghosts in the Mineral springs, we used to rent the basement for bands, it definetly has a entity/spirit…the sign asking if you have a Heart Condition BEFORE you enter is there for a reason…

  9. I’m excited to watch this. I grew up in Alton and my family still lives there.

  10. WHAT A FCKEN JOKE! ONLY THE IDIOTIC WATCH THIS BULLSHT!

  11. I’m pretty excited I am really sensitive to this kind of activities I’ve been sensitive since I was a child I lived in west altona just across the river bridge and every time I crossed the bridge to Alton I could feel the energy immensely. ….waiting to see their results

  14. We have DISH network this show is not on our guide! Is it not going to air on dish? We love this show and hope we will get to watch it on travel channel

  15. Was really excited they announced going to be in Alton,IL then they said the Mcpike Mansion now really disappointed. Had DVR set to record not anymore.
    Once the kiddy paranormal group went to the Mcpike Mansion and had no luck at finding any activity and didn’t even act scared it’s kind of a joke now days.

    It is so interesting to hear this. I think you’re the second person to comment that McPike is overrated and more hype than spooks. Interesting!

    Belinda, were you able to watch it? I don’t know anything about cable or dish as we have neither. I’m not even sure I can stream direct from TC so I never get to watch the show unless I get some kind of sneak peek somehow. Hope you got to see it!

    Okay Brad, I’m psyched you took the time to share this link. Not only did I send a request to join, but I’m SO psyched to know about this Ghost Camp. MUST write about it! Thank you!

  20. Now the Mineral Springs Hotel I think is going to be a better episode just because to my knowledge it hasn’t been investigated by a tv paranormal group yet or been hyped up as much. Did reset DVR to record Mcpike Mansion just to see Aaron get touched by a spider web and freak out. lol
