Chicago has its share of well-known hauntings, from the strange happenings on the 12th floor of the Congress Plaza Hotel to the ghosts that linger at Graceland Cemetery. But this year, we’re searching for spooky stories of the most domestic variety. Do you suspect your own house is haunted?

Maybe those scary noises have prompted you to take some action. Perhaps you’ve dug into the history of your home and found something revealing – or heard stories from your neighbors about something strange that still lingers in your mind.

These are the kinds of stories that intrigue us. We want to hear from you. Tell us your stories or even your suspicions about the would-be ghosts who share your home (or business). If your story makes us shiver, Curious City might come out to see you and your otherworldly visitors.

There are two ways to reach out to us. You can fill out the Google form here. Or you can leave us a voicemail message at 888-789-7752. Be sure to tell us your name, when the haunting began, what specifically happens and how it makes you feel and any research you’ve done about the possible source. If you’ve called in a more serious intervention, great – tell us all about it.
