- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 30 May, 2026 at 07:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: This is it—the big one. Join Chad The Ghost Hunter and his Ghost Hunt Weekends Crew to a location that has been locked away from the public for years. If you’ve been waiting for a "first-time" investigation where the energy hasn’t been worn out by crowds, this is your moment.

Get ready to step inside the 1861 Masonic Lodge in Keithsburg, Illinois.

From "Sporting House" to Secret Society
Rising three stories above the Mississippi River, this isn't just a building—it's a time capsule. Built in 1861 as the Arlington Hotel, it served as a rough-and-tumble haven for river travelers and allegedly operated as one of the region's busiest "sporting houses."

In the early 1900s, the atmosphere shifted from vice to virtue when it became the Robert Burns Lodge #113 For nearly a century, these walls echoed with the secret rituals and whispered oaths of the Freemasons. When the Masons moved out, they left behind more than just empty rooms. They left behind the Shadow Man.

Are You Ready to Face the Third Floor?
This is a raw, active location. We aren't talking about "maybe" ghosts; we're talking about recorded activity that will chill you to the bone:

The Shadow Figure: A tall, dark presence in a top hat that patrols the former Masonic Ritual Hall.

The Ritual Knocks: Rhythmic, three-fold knocks coming from inside the locked doors of the ceremonial rooms.

The "Heavy" Energy: Sensitives report an overwhelming feeling of being watched by the "Guards of the Lodge."

Phantom Footsteps: The sounds of heavy boots pacing the original hardwood floors of the old hotel.
