Summary

Deep in the heart of Greene County, Illinois, stands a haunting relic of the past—the James J. Eldred home. A grand Greek Revival, it echoes with the whispers of its tragic past. Today, the house is a place of eerie reports—phantom footsteps, mysterious knocking, and giggles of a young girl in the nursery. Visitors recount strange happenings, from rocks being hurled to ghostly touches that leave a cold chill. Are these just figments of imagination, or do the spirits of the past still roam its halls? Today on The Grave Talks, the history and hauntings of the James J. Eldred house, a conversation with board members Seth McGee and Chad Gaub
