By demand, my haunted hometown is Alton, IL. We even have 'Haunted Alton' tours around Halloween, which for some reason I've never been on. Our other claim to fame is that the Guiness World Record holder for tallest man in the world, Robert Wadlow, is from Alton (he's like over 7 feet tall and we have a statue of him that little kids like to stand next to). Elijah P. Lovejoy, who was very active in the Civil Rights movement, is also from Alton. So is another guy, can't remember who at the moment, but we're not as proud of him because I think he's famous for killing a president.
