Step into the past with QC Haunts & History Tours. You'll discover that dead folks do tell tales as we explore the streets and haunts of Rock Island. 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.
QC Haunts & History currently has the ONLY ghost tours in the Illinois Quad Cities!

If you think all the big-time gangsters of Illinois were in Chicago, then you haven't heard about John Looney – a man even the notorious Al Capone thought was scary! In the early 1900s, Looney ruled an empire of booze, bribery, extortion, gambling, and prostitution ... and he was responsible for at least six murders. See Looney's old haunts and some actual haunts along the way – including the old YMCA building where paranormal activity is the norm.
