There is a mystery brewing in Collinsville.  This year during the Haunted House Tour a rumor began about a possible cemetery under the McLanahan Automotive building.   More than one person attending the tour mentioned hearing this rumor.  How did this come about?  Is there any truth to this?  Did this cemetery belong to the Episcopal Church dedicated in 1840? Contact was made with McLanahan Automotive.  We spoke with Jeff Voss.  Jeff was very much interested in the rumors.  To add fuel to the story, Jeff mentioned that they had found a tombstone.   Another news story was located in an old Collinsville Herald.  The story mentioned that a tombstone was located on the McLanahan lot.  This now verifies 2 tombstones located on this lot!  Stay tuned!  We are currently investigating this story & preparing for the Haunted Tour in 2010.
