I've been seeing some about Ames (there's some pretty good ones, mainly because of all of the Manhattan Project work being done at ISU).....what are some of the best about Chicago?

The biggest is obviously O'Leary's cow.

....and of course there's the ghost story that every city has about some woman whose kids were killed 150 years ago yet somehow every once in a while people still see her looking for her kids. She usually shows up in a cemetery or out in the woods somewhere. Sometimes she shows up in people's bathroom mirrors late at night when they get up to use the bathroom.

Sleep tight kiddies.

I like to think of myself as a "Fine Urban Legend" from Chicago.

I cant remember the city, but there is a northwest suburb with a haunted shoe factory. I want to say Roselle

Well, there is the rumor of the cougar in Chicago

 

 

Oh wait.....

I know that road, I live right by it, but I am pretty sure the story is from a different town. I have seen the building, its pretty creepy

The Jane Adams Hull House is supposed to be really haunted,right?

I love the one about the Cubs having won a world series

Isnt there a story about the bar that Babe Ruth went to in the middle of a doubleheader being haunted?

yeah, very haunted.

I remember when I was a kid people used to think the ovaltine factory in Villa Park was haunted.

You know, that might be what I am thinking about. Does the building have a large rectangular "tower" that rises above the actual factory?

How can this be to the second page with no mention of Resurrection Mary?

What about Cuba/Rainbow Road?

Yeah that one freaked me out every time it was told throughout my childhood.

Bachelors Grove in Midlothian is said to be haunted with the ghosts of gangster victims that Capone's people dumped into the small lake on the property.

 

And while I haven't seen anything supernatural driving west on Route 83 in Palos Park, if there's any stretch of road that you would expect a ghost it's over there. I haven't driven through the area in awhile but I recall a good three/four makeshift crosses set up on the side to mark where someone had died. It's just something to think about when you're traveling down this two lane road, alongside a forest with absolutely no street lights, where people routinely drive above 70mph.

You'd think that there'd be more ghosts on the Dan Ryan, then.

Hahah i live about 10 minutes from those. I've really wanted to go check it out, I'm a little girl when it comes to scary s***.

Ah, the traditional Thanksgiving horror thread

It's more the atmosphere than anything else. Of course, with a lot of ghosts stories (such as Resurrection Mary) people claim the presence of street lights somehow lessens accounts of ghosts.
