McPike Mansion Photo Tour – Pt 1

The Hubs and I were really excited this past Sunday night, because we were getting to take part in a photo tour of the infamous haunted house, the McPike Mansion, an event put together by the Alton Area Photography Group!

I’m splitting up the pictures I took at the McPike Mansion into multiple posts, because I have quite a few of them. So, today, I’m sharing the shots I got while it was still light and we were outside. (I’ll share some indoor shots I got tomorrow.)

There were already a few people there when we arrived on Sunday evening. The house is impressive.

We took a walk around the house, through the paths worn through the tall grass. I took lots of pictures of the windows, hoping to make a nice picture, for one, and maybe to catch a ghost, for two. LOL These are the twin windows that most frequently have a ghost looking out of them.

We walked on further and I took more pictures.

Then we headed around the back, where rumor had it that there were tombstones from the graves of young children.

And, of course, we found “the graves.”
