Tonight, we dive into the history of two of the most haunted buildings in Galena, Illinois. Opened in 1855, the DeSoto House Hotel has had its fair share of horrifying events. From fires and explosions, to more recently: terrifying paranormal activity.

We also explore the haunting tales of the Belvedere Mansion, an elegant home built in 1857, now open for tours with its lavish period furnishings and gardens. If the legends are true, we have one of the most tragic stories that has resulted in many saying... that the mansion is now plagued by restless spirits.

This is the haunted history of Galena, IL.
