More about the book

Chicago, Illinois has one of the eeriest pasts of any city in America. From opportunistic grave robbers that stole countless cadavers to a condemned criminal who may or may not have been brought back to life by doctors, ghastly tales of the macabre abound in the Windy City. Some of Chicago's most historic places are also home to sullen specters stuck in time. From an old hotel adjacent to grant park to the location of the long forgotten jail where dozens of men were hanged, forgotten phantoms have been lurking about for centuries. Some of the stories are lighthearted and entertaining, while others will leave you with your jaw on the floor. With each creepy tale, Ghost Stories and graveyard Tales: chicago invites you to dig into the town's dark past to learn what the history books won't tell you.
