QC Haunts & History Tours

Step into the past with QC Haunts & History Tour. You'll discover that dead folks do tell tales as we explore the streets and haunts of Rock Island and the Village of East Davenport. History will come to life during the time of gangsters and speakeasies when Rock Island, Ill., was vice lord John Looney's town, and prohibition didn't matter. Then head across the river to the Village of East Davenport to "meet" Civil War soldiers and other restless spirits from a bygone time.


QC Haunts & History is the ONLY ghost tour in the Illinois Quad Cities! 


Private tours may be scheduled during other times. Email qchaunts@gmail.com or text 309-781-7083 for more information.
