The historic Ashmore Estates first opened its doors in 1916 and operated as an almshouse that was once part of the Coles County Poor Farm. The almshouse was in operation until 1959 before it was purchased by Ashmore Estates to use as a private psychiatric center.

The psych center ceased operation in 1986 and stood abandoned for 20 years before opening as a commercial haunted house. The location is known for being truly haunted and is a paranormal hot spot in Illinois.
