Get Flash to see this video.

A special Halloween edition of Prairie Fire delves into central Illinois haunted tales, including the sightings of a ghostly “woman in white” at the mansion at the University of Illinois’ Allerton Park near Monticello. “Two guests staying in the house saw the woman in white. In one case, she was sitting in a chair pulling on a pair of gloves,” said Alison Davis, host and producer of the program. “We talk to Atron Regen, a former night caretaker, who was once awakened by something touching his left hand. He turned around and caught a glimpse of a hand wearing a white glove.”
