Well, I was all over the media this past week! That’s October in the ghost busting biz. It seemed like every day I was doing a phone interview, taking a meeting, talking with someone who was researching an article, or going to a radio studio for an interview.

The Chicago Frankenstein Experiment, 1882
I spoke with The RedEye this week about haunted Chicago spots, and an article on their webpage today speaks about about the site of the gallows. Here’s a classic story from the site: In the 20th Century, executioners in many parts of the world modernized the process by which convicts were hanged. Weights and measurements were…
The Fool Killer Submarine: All We Know!
I tell the story of the Fool Killer, mysterious submarine wreck found in the river in 1915, on almost every one of my tours. “It might have been the first large submarine ever built, if it had worked,” I say. “But apparently it didn’t, because when they raised it up the next month, they found…

Paranormal Talk on the Radio
A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of appearing on Paranormal Radio, talking about opera, silent film, history, and, of course, ghosts. Listen to me trying to weasel out of answering the “do you believe in ghosts” question! Here’s the whole thing, via youtube.
Yahoo’s Ghost Ghirls on a Chicago Hauntings tour
A few weeks ago the Ghost Ghirls, who have a Jack Black-produced comedy series starting on Yahoo soon, came on Chicago Hauntings tour a few weeks ago. I always worry they’ll edit me to look stupid in these things, but this came out okay, I think. When I’m talking about the floating pant leg, the…
