Chicago. A town with a past. A people haunted by its history in more ways than one. A "windy city" with tales to tell . . .

There are a bunch of new ghost stories and you will be kept on the edge of your seat. I love reading stories about happenings in places I know. A definite must have for anyone that enjoys ghost stories!

Chicago Ghosts will hold your attention whether you're reading it as a serious study or simply as an entertainment. Lock the doors, draw the curtains, and light a candle as you join author Rachel Brooks on a guided tour of Chicago’s most terrifyingly haunted places.

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. Who knew?
