In 1916 Ashmore Estates were erected from the original 1857 built Almshouse, or poorhouse for Coles County Farm. Nestled between two cemeteries still lies a stark asylum where thousands of mentally ill and homeless took shelter. Many locals were treated at the psychiatric wards. 

Many lives were lost here. 

Many believe the estate to be actively haunted by multiple spirits and the Estate was made popular when it was aired on various ghosthunter TV shows.

Investigators claim to feeling unexplained cold, sudden nausea and a sense of heavy dark oppression. Some have witnessed dark shadows and light anomalies. One paranormal team picked up unexplained footsteps and voices.

Due to pest infestation, vandal abuse and fund shortages the site was declared derelict in 1911 and finally closed its doors in 1987.

The site is now preserved as a Historic Place of Interest and offers sleepover events and accommodation for paranormal teams investigating the estates history.
