Episode Details

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!

In Rock Island, Illinois, a former YMCA building now operating as the Rock Island Roadhouse carries more than a century of layered history. Once a center for recreation, education, and community life, the structure offered comfort and routine to generations who passed through its halls.

Over time, unsettling reports began to surface. Staff and visitors describe shadow figures darting between rooms, unexplained footsteps echoing in the stairwell, and activity concentrated in former classrooms and storage areas. EVP sessions have captured disturbing sounds — including what some interpret as distant screams — adding to the building’s growing reputation as one of the region’s most active locations.

Insights from Kandi Slater connect the documented past of the property with the experiences reported today. What once served as a gathering place for the living now carries signs that something may still linger within its walls.

The Rock Island Roadhouse stands as a reminder that buildings don’t simply forget their purpose — and sometimes, neither do the people who once filled them.
