Summary

When Anthony Christopher and his wife bought Pine Lawn Manor in Sumner, Illinois, they didn’t just acquire an old building—it seems they acquired a building full of restless spirits. Once rated the worst nursing home in the state, this former hotel and care facility harbored untold stories of abuse, neglect, and despair. Now, it’s become one of the most active paranormal hotspots in the Midwest.

Many investigators have reported chilling encounters with shadow figures, disembodied voices, and a ghostly nurse named Ed who may still roam the halls. Objects seem to materialize out of nowhere. Lights flash without electricity. Some buildings don’t forget. Some spirits never leave. And some places like Pine Lawn Manor were never meant to be silent. Today, on The Grave Talks, we go behind the manor’s aging walls with owner Anthony Christopher.
