An adventure is waiting for you in the heart of Illinois: LaSalle County! The Starved Rock Lodge is reportedly haunted by the ghosts of the Native Americans who once fought a battle nearby. Guests have reported seeing a black apparition and strange orbs of light, and they have felt cold spots and experienced doors that open and close by themselves! The actual main lodge building itself is haunted, but not the surrounding cabins, so ghost enthusiasts would be better off booking in the main building!
