Haunted States of America: Illinois

A Field Guide to Chicago Hauntings (2001) by Jim Graczyk

Unsurprisingly, Chicago is a very haunted city. There are quite a few books out there with stories of Chicago's spooks, but Chicago Hauntings is less story, more places to visit. It's a list of various haunted or otherwise spooky places in Chicago, with a brief description and the address where you can find it.

Some places you may have heard of, like Jane Addam's Hull House or H.H. Holme's "Murder Castle," but some are more obscure. Did you know there's a bleeding stop sign at the intersection of Riverside Dr. and Olmstead Ave.?

Chicago Ghosts also includes short histories on major disasters in Chicago, including the Iroquois Theatre fire in 1903 and the capsizing of the SS Eastland in 1915. You can also find information about famous plane crashes and murders that took place within the city limits.

Neighbors house burnt down last night. It was one of the oldest houses in my town and it was huge. When my parents moved to the town it was between this house and the one they ended up picking. There were rumors that there were underground tunnels that ran from the old distillery to this house when al capone bootlegged alcohol during prohibition

My best friend growing up lived a block away from the distillery in the opposite direction and her house used to be a butcher shop.

The whole house was creepy, but the basement was terrifying. It still had a meat chute and a meat freezer room w a door about 6 inches thick. In one of the rooms you could see the outline of where the tunnel used to run through and if you knocked anywhere else it was solid but knocking on that part you could clearly tell it was hollow. You'd hear noises coming from the tunnel and what sounded kind of like soft whispers. One night, my friends older sister was having several of her friends over to spend the night and one girl woke up in the middle of the night bawling her eyes out saying there was a woman staring at her in the archway. She made her parents pick her up and she never went back to that house.

One night there was a bad storm and y friends dad was on call working downtown at a hospital so it was just me, my friend, her older sister and her mom and her baby brother Tony. Me and my friends sister were brave enough to venture downstairs to get to the fuse box. We had a big flashlight that had brand new batteries in it. The second we got to the bottom of the stairs, the light pointed at one of the far walls and I swear to God, there was a face in the wall. It looked almost contorted. The second we both see the face, the flashlight goes out. We stumbled over each other running back up the basement steps and the second we got back upstairs, the flashlight turned back on. It wasn't loosely screwed where it could come in and out the way flashlights can do, it wasn't one of those kinds of flashlights, it had a big button on it. It was terrifying.

The house that burnt down also had reports of hauntings dating back to the 1800s since it was built. My town has the largest working limestone quarry in the world and running between those buildings is then creek which goes all the way to Lake Michigan.

Ive read that running water, limestone and native american spirituality can account for hauntings. Then you add the violence of s gangster bootlegger and its like a recipe for disaster.

There is also a history of a lot of native Americans living in the area and surrounding forest preserves. I've heard several people who never spoke to each other who saw a native American on horseback in the woods.

In high-school we would hangout and party in the woods and sometimes the boys would camp out there and on multiple occasions you'd hear drumming and chanting. Friggin creepy af.

There would sometimes be an animal hanging from a tree completely gutted. One time we found bags of blood that you'd get at a blood bank in a hospital. Idewk what that was doing there.

*** This story ended up being way more than I initially intended. Hopefully someone finds it interesting***

I had a sleep paralysis experience last week so I thought I’d share a few posts going over my experiences. I’ll start with the ones that happened when I was a kid.

The first time it happened was in middle school.

One night, after a pep band performance, me and a friend were walking home from the middle school. It was night, and there was a full moon, so everything was slightly illuminated by cold, blue light.

We passed by this old house that always gave me weird vibes. Interestingly, that house was torn down recently. But as we passed it, my friend looked behind me, and his face went cold. He just took off running. He didn’t even tell me what happened. I ran after him, assuming he saw something terrifying. We ran all the way to my house, several blocks away.

We went down, into the basement, where my bedroom was. I kept asking him what he saw, but he kept refusing to tell me. Finally I coaxed it out of him. He said that when he looked back, he saw the dilapidated shack in the house’s back yard. The side of the shack was illuminated by the moon. He saw a human-shaped shadow appear to rise out of the ground, and that’s when he started running.

Before he could finish the story, a framed picture flew off of my wall, almost hitting me. Without saying anything, we agreed to never talk about it again. In my mind, I just sort of accepted that what ever that shadow was, it seemed to have followed me home.

Well, a few days later, I woke up in the middle of the night, unable to move. Clearly sleep paralysis. My room was completely dark, but I could distinctly see a very tall shadow standing at the foot of my bed. It was wearing a bowler hat. Strangely, it was holding hands with a smaller shadow, roughly the size of a child. They both stood there for what felt like hours, watching me. I kept pretending to be asleep. I would close my eyes, and tell myself it’s not real. Then open them back up, and sure enough, they were still there. Eventually, I fell back asleep.

I never saw those specific shadows again, but I knew immediately that it was the same shadow that my friend saw a few days before.

A few years later, I was still living in that room. And one night, I had my first experience with astral projection. In my dream, I got out of bed, and saw my body still laying there. Confused, I decided to go upstairs. I walked into the kitchen, when something enormous violently grabbed me from behind. It lifted me into the air, and it felt like a force of evil was trying to possess me. The feeling was so intense that it woke me up.

That same year, I was taking a nap in my room. My arms were behind my head in that stereotypical “relax pose”. I was in deep sleep. And I was awoken to a finger, very forcefully jabbing me in the armpit. It was so painful. My eyes immediately shot open, and nobody was there. For several minutes I could still feel the pain.

At the haunted YWCA in Alton, Illinois there are paranormal claims of demons, apparitions, ghostly cries, footsteps, doors opening and closing and lights turning on and off.  During this investigation, I heard and captured voices that make me believe a portal has been opened there.

The trip from Illinois to Georgia was a blur. Too much driving. And we were both sick.

Went to another haunted house, but this time with a close friend.

The next day, we were told to rest because we were both unwell. I'm grateful I have a friend who looks out for me like that.

We left Georgia and arrived home very early in the morning.
