Some interesting shots from the tours lately. First of all, for you Hull House fans, the last tree in the adjacent courtyard (subject of much ghostlore and superstition) fell down some time in the last week: The garden / courtyard area is the subject of a lot of real nonsense stories that go around –…

Ghost pic in the alley?
I only occasionally post “ghost” pictures here, partly because I rarely see any thing I think are all that interesting. You know what I always say – “there is no good ghost evidence, only cool ghost evidence.” Well, here’s some of that. One of my most common tour stops is the alley behind the site of…
Some recent “ghost” shots from the tours
Kiersten, a tour passenger on Friday night, snapped this cool shot – it was the hit of the tour when shown off on the bus! While I’m generally inclined to think of these “stairs” shots as reflections and smears (reflected ears are a common culprit), this is a really nifty one appearing to show two…
A New Hull House Ghost Shot
You know what I say, folks: there’s no such thing as good ghost evidence, only cool ghost evidence. Well, here’s a cool one for you. This was taken on one of my tours this past weekend, and shows what looks like a baby on the staircase at Hull House: A close-up, with the contrast adjusted very slightly:…
The “Glinda Orb”

Another Shadow at the Body Dump?
Odd shadows at the north side spot where H.H. Holmes once operated a “glass bending factory” (read: probably body dump, as covered in our recent podcast and many posts) have been in no short supply lately. Here’s one shot by Lexie Manke. Here’s the unedited version: And a lit-up close-up on the odd shadowy figure on…
Ghosts at the H.H. Holmes body dump?
My, but there’ve been a lot of ghost shots here, lately, haven’t there? I’ll have to get some historical stuff going soon just to balance it out! I started taking people to the HH Holmes “glass bending factory” site (click for podcast and more info) in 2008 as a historical curiosity on Holmes tours –…
