MORE ABOUT ASHMORE ESTATE. After being abandoned in 1987, Ashmore Estates gained notoriety as a local curiosity and was subjected to trespass and vandalism. Rumours spread that the building was haunted. For the Halloween issue of the Verge section of The Daily Eastern News, Mike Rice and Matt Fear wrote a satirical piece on how to make Ashmore Estates into a "highly illegal" Halloween escapade. "No one is really sure what this building once housed", they wrote. "But there are stories. These tales revolve around pagan rituals and dismembered bodies. We are not sure if any of them are true or not, but they sure do make for three floors ... of unadulterated fun."In 2004, Michael Kleen included Ashmore Estates in a collection of short historical fiction stories set in Coles County called Tales of Coles County, Illinois. The story involved a man named Darby and his daughter who stayed at the poor farm during the Great Depression. Darby was tormented by the ghost of a girl named Elva Skinner, who died in a fire in the original almshouse. Since publication, several people have claimed that the ghost of Elva actually haunts the building.[21] A new edition of Tales of Coles County was released in 2010.
As soon as Scott Kelley opened the building for tours in 2006, locals, as well as self-styled paranormal investigators, lined up to take a look inside.[22] In the summer of 2008, Christopher Saint Booth and Philip Adrian Booth, producers of documentaries such as Spooked (2006) and Children of the Grave (2007), filmed at Ashmore Estates. Of their visit, The Daily Eastern News wrote: "Full body apparitions, black mists, and a death-filled history. There couldn't be a more perfect place for a paranormal investigation than Ashmore Estates."[25] A chapter on the history, folklore, and ghost stories of Ashmore Estates was included in the book Paranormal Illinois.
In September 2011, Ashmore Estates was featured on the season 5 premiere of Ghost Adventures on the Travel Channel. In February 2013, it was also investigated by the SyFy's Ghost Hunters on the season 9 episode called Permanent Residents. Nick Groff, a former investigator on Ghost Adventures, hosted a paranormal event on April 4, 2015. It was featured again in season 3 of the Ghost Adventures spin-off show Ghost Adventures: Aftershocks where the previous and current owners shared new experiences and updates on the building.
