Go Ghosthunting in the Land of Lincoln!

Lock the doors, draw the curtains, and light a candle as you join author John B. Kachuba on a guided tour of Illinois' most terrifyingly haunted places. Your hair-raising journey will take you to:
• Old State Capitol, Springfield—Lincoln lay in state here before his burial in Oak Ridge Cemetery. Could his ghost haunt the spot where his body lay?
• Harpo Studios, Chicago—When the Eastland steamer capsized in 1915, the building served as a temporary morgue. Oprah's employees have encountered the ghosts of the victims, including the "Gray Lady" who floats through the halls.
• And many more scary sites.
Maps and travel information are provided to every haunted location for those brave enough to make the journey in person.
