Gangsters, Gaslights, and Ghastly Murders—Join in Chicago’s Grandest Ghost Hunt
Chicago Haunted Handbook, part of the popular America's Haunted Road Trip series, is written with the ghost enthusiast in mind. All 100 chapters contain information on the history and the haunting surrounding each location, as well as detailed directions on how to locate each site. Many of the chapters also contain insider information that only a local would know, making it easier for ghost hunters to investigate. Ghost hunters Jeff Morris and Vincent Sheilds explore all the best haunted locales Chicago has to offer, including Resurrection Cemetery, Bachelor's Grove Cemetery, Murder Castle, the St. Valentine's Day Massacre Site, and even Wrigley Field. Each two-page entry includes directions from downtown, a historical overview of the haunted place, the story of ghostly doings in that place, and advice on visiting yourself—if you dare.
