On March 24, 1998, a young woman named Amy Lynn Bradley vanished from a Royal Caribbean cruise ship while it was on its way to Curacao. Cruises seem to be an escape from reality, but crime happens on board, too.

Much has changed at the Mineral Springs since it opened more than a century ago, but if you stand in the lobby – when the lighting is just right – you almost expect to see guests in old-fashioned clothing as they hurry past on their way to a mineral cure or to have a cocktail in the hotel bar.

And if the stories are true – they still do.

Every town has a story like the one you just heard. Some places, like Alton, have more than one. Most people dismiss stories like that as nothing more than folklore – a tale to be told around the campfire – but I can’t help but wonder how some of these stories got started in the first place...
