The Haunted Rock Island Roadhouse is located in the heart of Historic Rock Island, Illinois, on the mighty Mississippi River and is the perfect location for both new and experienced investigators as it has a very mischievous past: not only has it served as a YMCA (1913-1977), but as a brothel run by the infamous Helen Van Dale, a speakeasy, has ties to the mob (John Looney and Al Capone), housed a murderer, had multiple deaths, and so much more. There has even been spirits of American soldiers present, as they would stay at the YMCA free of charge if they showed up in uniform. Many who visit or investigate this extremely active location walk away with personal, spine-tingling experiences.
