The Haunted Lebanon Tours are the FIRST Ghost Tours to Ever Explore the Haunted & Historic Places of Lebanon! As part of the Illinois Hauntings family of tours, we explore both the history and the ghostly tales of one of Illinois' most haunted small towns! We're Not Just An Ordinary Ghost Tour -- We're A Real-Life Glimpse at the Former Residents of Lebanon who Linger Behind! 

Welcome to Lebanon, One of Illinois' Most Historic & Haunted Small Towns! Join the Illinois Hauntings Tours & Len Adams for a historic and frightening tour through one of Southern Illinois' most beautiful, and haunted, small towns. Lebanon was founded in 1804 but the culture here dates back to pre-history, as evidence by Emerald Mound, located just outside of town. Lebanon is also home to Illinois' oldest college, McKendree, which was founded in 1824. Charles Dickens, during his travels in America, stopped in Lebanon in 1842 while visiting the Looking Glass Prairie. The Mermaid Inn, built in 1830, served as his stopover point on his journey west. Lebanon's main street stands alone as a ghost hunters' paradise. From mysterious underground tunnels to phone calls from the beyond, you'll jump between the present and the past, the living and the dead with this chilling tour! Based on Len Adams' upcoming book, Phantoms in the Looking Glass, the Haunted Lebanon tour is a 3-hour walking tour & spine tingling journey into the haunted history of Lebanon.
All Haunted Lebanon tours will depart from the Lebanon Visitors Center, located at 211 West St. Louis Street. All Tours will be filled on a first come / first served basis and Reservations can be made here or by calling us toll-free at  1-888-446-7859.
