The Ghostly Tales of St. Charles

Spooky America

COMING JULY 22, 2025

Stay alert! Ghosts lurk around every corner. Even the most unexpected places might be haunted by wandering phantoms.

Did you know that on moonlit nights, ghostly pioneers stroll St. Charles's historic Main Street? Or that at Grandma's Cookies, you might just meet a spirit with a sweet tooth? Can you believe that whispers from the past still echo at the Lewis & Clark Boat House and Museum?

Pulled right from history, these ghostly tales will change the way you see St. Charles forever, and have you sleeping with the lights on!
