In October, Skellington Manor offers a dark walk through themed event with highly detailed scenes, jaw dropping special effects, interactive characters and documented paranormal activity. Your experience starts as soon as you walk in the doors of this former Rock Island Masonic Temple. Built in 1913 by the Masonic Association, the building was the home of the Trio Lodge from 1913 until 2009. Today, many will agree, the transformation of the building is impressive! Simply Terrifying.

During the renovation of a historic building in downtown Rock Island, several trades workers reported hearing footsteps and seeing ghostly apparitions lurking in the halls, doors slamming and strange voices throughout the building. Previous owners have also confirmed that they too had reports of similar experiences. Paranormal groups  from around the two state area both have investigated and documented proof of actual paranormal activity. Investigators have determined restless spirits from the past dwell within the walls of Skellington Manor.
