Summary
The Haunted Rock Island Roadhouse is a 50,000-square-foot former YMCA building located at 500 20th Street in Rock Island, Illinois. It has been officially recognized as a paranormal hotspot since investigations began in 2018. The structure, built in 1913, is historically linked to Prohibition-era organized crime…including serving as a front for a brothel run by Helen Van Dale, and a speakeasy connected to mobsters like John Looney and Al Capone!!! https://hauntedus.com/illinois/haunted-rock-island-ymca/ https://www.hauntedrooms.com/illinois/ghost-hunts/rock-island-roadhouse https://rockislandroadhouse.com/investigations-%26-events https://rockislandroadhouse.com/history https://www.iheart.com/podcast/263-222-paranormal-podcast-27825258/episode/483-rock-island-roadhouse-haunted-history-298623850/ https://search.brave.com/ask?q=rock+island+roadhouse+haunted&conversation=094caba970434470d3a0c56d2d81f6a0ea51
