I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
While hiking on a trail through nature is always wonderful, trekking through the ruins of abandoned buildings can be both fascinating and a little creepy. Whether you’re an urban explorer or just enjoy hiking to historic sites, Sylvan Island in the Moline area provides an easy trail around the island that once had a thriving industrial site.
Over the years, many accounts of paranormal activity on Sylvan Island have been reported. Maybe it’s due to the numerous deaths that have happened here and its long history. Whatever the case may be, you can read more about hauntings on the island and a few other locales around the Prairie State in this post.
