Join American Hauntings for the 26th Annual Dead of Winter Event — Held each year at the haunted Mineral Springs Hotel in Downtown Alton. Spend the day celebrating the winter season of ghosts, hauntings, folklore, and legends, while also supporting a great cause! With your help, the annual food drive will be helping to feed the hungry in the region during the coldest part of the year! So, join us at the Mineral Springs for this FREE daytime event!
You’ll have the chance to be chilled by presentations on ghosts, hauntings, and the unexplained, meet speakers and authors, browse the vendor room, and experience the most fun you’ll have all winter!
Don’t Forget Your Canned Goods and Non-Perishables to Help Local Food Banks!
Join us in the downstairs ballroom at the hotel for our line-up of speakers (see below) that will be appearing throughout the day and the vendor room, where you can shop for a variety of books and other items geared toward paranormal interests, including American Hauntings Ink!
There is no charge for general admission to the daytime events between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM, but we hope we can count on you to bring along items to benefit local food banks in the area. There are nearly 20,000 people in need in the region, and more than 7,000 of them are children. We'll be donating all of the items collected to a local food bank, so bring a canned good or non-perishable food item with you for entry to this eerie event!
