The book is divided into counties. Included in each account is history of the area and photographs.
Stephen Osborne tells stories that are well known, such as Resurrection Mary of Chicago. He also writes of Chicago's infamous Biograph Theatre, of John Dillinger's history. There is also the frightening Bachelor's Grove Cemetery history.
Stephen tells other tales, too. He takes us on an investigation with the Forest City Paranormal Society, as they research the Coronado Theatre in Winnebago County.
I hope that Stephen Osborne writes another book of Northern Illinois haunts. This one was very interesting. (
