There’s Something Strange In the Neighborhood: Chicago’s Haunted History

Ghosts

Damian Siwiaszczyk

Everyone’s got a ghost story — good, bad, scary, funny, real or complete fiction. Whether it’s a figure that disappeared the moment you looked, sounds in the house you can’t explain, your house keys moving from where you left them, or just a chill down your spine … we’ve all had experiences we couldn’t explain. 

The question is: do you believe in ghosts?
