Chicago’s haunted history

So...

I stumbled over my words there, but okay, so it's not enough that we have a crime scene.

Now we have to add something haunted to that crime scene.

Well, sure, because crime scenes leave the strongest impression, the psychic impression.

Usually when people see an apparition, it's a sixth sense picking up something on a time loop.

That's why they're always bringing the same clothes and doing the same things.

But when there's something like a crime, it leaves a really strong impression for the psyche to pick up.

Right, and crimes do usually leave a, like the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, I guess if we're going to put it in this context, did in its own way leave a strong impression, wouldn't you say?

Mm-hmm,

for sure.

Would that be one of the locations in Chicago that had crime and now is haunted?

Absolutely.

You know, Chicago's always been known for business, and the gangsters thought so too.

So during Prohibition, that was like a great chance to make some money, which also resulted, unfortunately, in a lot of deaths, but that sprung a lot of haunted spaces.

By the way, Eva is an author, a paranormal investigator, photographer, and researcher specializing in criminology, metaphysics, and local history, a dedicated investigator.

Okay, what is this? You're with the Illinois chapter of T-H-I-N-G-S.

Yep, it's a research society.

And by the way, also speaking of prohibition, did you know that the first day that prohibition started was also Al Capone's 21st birthday? Perfect.

He became legal to drink.

No.

No, yeah, but then a little bit different.

Prohibition

was probably on then, right? I would

think.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
