[@victorseward1806]

ALTON Ill.. Is my hometown Grew up there,,, Please BELIEVE ME WHEN I TELL YOU. IT'S VERY MUCH HAUNTED... LOVE MY CITY & THE PEOPLE IN IT... DON'T BELIEVE ME TAKE A TOUR IN ALL OCTOBER.... VERY HISTORICAL...

[@AshaA2]

Victor Seward I love how you use the old school abbreviation ILL !

[@sergwaynecorbray940]

I’ve lived in Alton my whole life. Their is definitely some sort of presence here

[@SRSOS]

Wow! Thousands of people and animals around you, all emitting different electrical impulses,, not to mention all of the EMF pollution and you're picking up something, eh?

[@jeremyelder3158]

I went to school for a short time in Alton but I was in grade school in Brighton that area is very beautiful

[@squirtrussell5558]

Bullshit gwane...ghosts can eat a fat dick

[@caytuoct3299]

Yes same and yes I agree 100%

[@TheGr33nHulk]

Wait your whole life who can I come meet you?

[@jimkreider9997]

Alton is very unique. It was once a great place. I lived on Liberty St and our congressman lived a few doors down. The Haskell house should have been included in this. Alton, however, now is not the same

[@Earle96]

Funny, I used to live on E 20th few streets down. I’m surprised he didn’t mention the Haskell mansion and the doll house as well.

[@jayliel5454]

My folks are from there. My mom went to Alton hs. in the middle 1940's. From Bethalto(?) Dad from e. Alton.

On of the best presentation of Alton Illinois. I've been researching Alton as a place to retire after working 50 years. A place to have a simple life. Thank you for this podcast it gives so much more information that others don't post. Joel

[@gfexc]

Lots of meth in Alton. Some place to retire.

[@williamperkins9349]

A wonderful video, thank you very much. I would like to make a correction and add a few things. There are other 'piasa bird' legends, the most prominent in China where it was called "Peng-ju" and said to have been carnivorous, had a near human face with the beard of a tiger, scaled body the size of a colt, sharp talons and a serpentine tail. It lived along the Yellow River, and was said to have killed in much the same way as the Piasa. The story concludes with its demise in a manner nearly identical to that of the Piasa. The painting is also in error as the scaled body is supposed to be green. My mom's dad's family was instrumental in donating the ground for the Confederate Cemetery (all family were on the winning side). Robert Wdlow's chair is at Franklin Masonic temple where he was a member. You also did not travel W 7th St. (steepest bricked st. in the world), nor our other hometown boy jazz great Miles Davis. But again, thank you, excellent work.

[@garydean0308]

We had a block from the old prison in our back yard.

[@MarkedMoneyTech]

Very nice presentation!

[@33Donner77]

Alton was originally much larger than Chicago, and I'ver heard that Alton had street lights before Chicago.

[@loyaltonotredame2160]

ive lived here all my life

[@CobraKaiEnt]

Our shop is across the street from that prison!

[@jeffjohnson1413]

oh no

[@edwardjones9631]

One night years ago I flew to St Louis from Cali arrived abt midnight & got a cab to Alton hotel. At about 2 am i was walking to my room when 3 persons vacated the bar and joined my walk! The one young lady nearly hit me with a swinging Purse for no reason? She was a good looker, but a rather mean cowgirl? Maybe her cowboy took his other dance partner that night? What would Samuel Clemons have done?Glad she wasn't packing heat! Hello Cowgirl in the sand..! 🎯

Is that historical confederate monument still there today?

[@barbarazimmerman805]

Yes it is still there.

[@ronaldmiller5469]

Just a very small section.

[@williamperkins9349]

Yes. Just as it has been for all my 65 yrs.

[@stevesummers2462]

It's amazing that someone could forget about the Confederate Monuments in Chicago's Oakwood Cemetery

[@chrismcgill]

weird that people want to forget a monument to a literal anti-American government that thrived on the enslavement of other human beings?

The "bird" is actually a dragon. The Chinese painted them when they circumnavigated the globe 100 of years before Christopher Columbus there are eight of these birds in existence around the globe.. the Chinese painted them on internal riverways for luck

@@DzheiSilis . Before then. Before the Vikings came to America's. There is a cave in southern Illinois that was found in the early 1800s that had e Ancient Chinese and ancient Egyptian artifacts. Just off the cache river. which connects to the big muddy river which connects to the Mississippi. I have studied this for a long time. There you go you have just been educated... there are multiple paintings of dragons around the globe on tributary Rivers. . The early American Indians did not originally paint that
