Are you ready to take a trip through downtown St. Louis’s most haunted hotspots? Take a terrifying tour through some of St. Louis' most tumultuous histories. Many people consider this unpretentious midwestern city to be their hometown. Indeed, it is so cherished that locals prefer to forget about St. Louis' dark past. The town was originally dubbed "Mound City," and is now cheerfully known as "The Gateway to the Midwest."
