Former 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. After getting no guidance from bureaucrats on what to do, they reburied the casket and poured the foundation on top of it https://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/a-conservatory-a-zoo-and-12000-corpses/Content?oid=1109775 More on reddit.com

Honestly 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. More on reddit.com
