• December 29, 2021Honestly the only time I've experienced weird unexplained stuff is at my grandma's house, which is a non-descript bungalow in Portage Park.
I've heard plenty of weird noises and phantom toilet flushes, and more than a few family members have claimed to see things.
When I was a kid I asked my grandma if her house was haunted and she (being a very catholic woman) just responded "don't worry dear, those are just angels." Which didn't exactly make me feel better lol.

• October 9, 2019Former Lincoln Park Zoo director Lester Fisher told Bannos that workers found a skeleton and casket when they dug the foundation for the zoo's barn in 1962.

Does anyone know anything about zoos being haunted? I work at a notoriously haunted zoo as it is 150 years old and was built over a graveyard. However, I was wondering if animals ever haunt zoos? I’ve only heard of a few animal apparitions being seen here.
