218 – Abandoned Mystery Shack
The Love Shack
Katney: “There are a couple of buildings back in the woods off of Rt 29 owned by the park district – if I remember right this is the smaller one and it is pretty scary inside.”
I didn’t look inside. As Katney said, it looked pretty scary inside and I wasn’t about to find out what was in there! If someone would like to go down and check it out for themselves, it’s on the south side of the barn (NTPL#219) located off of SanKoty and Galena Rd.

Is this what passes as a landmark? I never thought Peoria was quite that sad.

“Any building, structure, or place that has a special character, special historic interest, and/or special aesthetic interest, or value, as part of the development, heritage, or cultural characteristics of a nation, state, city, or town.”
Based on this definition, yea, I’d say it does pass. And the fact that you believed Peoria didn’t have a building that looked like this makes it even more special.

I used to live @ 6206 Galena Rd between the years of 86-91 and the barn where the man hung himself was on that property. I was a teenager then and the barn was mainly used as a hangout for underage drinkers (me and my older brother) and the kids from the Longshore subdivision. The barn was always kind of creepy but I think when the property was vacated it became alot worse.

I went inside the shack and its not too bad, it does have a bunch of spider webs though. i also went into the barn and that was the scariest thing of my ife cause i did it at night for some reason. i guessed that it was a place for underage drinkers cause the floor is coverd in aluminum cans and bottle caps. i also carved my name in the wall upstairs with everyone elses name. overall, it was pretty cool and i might have to throw a party there.

Our Group “demonhunters” has many E.V.P’s from there this shack is a lot more than it seems. There is woman who was kidnapped, locked under it, and her spirit still needs help moving on
