RE: Abraham Lincoln sightings
When I was attending Eastern Illinois University, a friend told me about a statue that he and others found about three miles outside of Charleston. He said they were throwing snowballs at it and couldn't hit his hand. It is supposedly the world's tallest Lincoln statue and was commissioned for an anniversary of the Lincoln-Douglas Debates, one of which happened in Charleston. It's still standing, although they have added concrete sidewalks to it and various places around it that show various aspects of Lincoln's life.
