Story: I was looking at your site.I love it. only one thing. you guys have one of the sites listed as the flight of 191… des plaines mobile home park. wrong! it was actually touhy mobile homes park. i know because i live there. the plane had crashed in the field next to the park. The engine was laying on the ground down the street from where i now live. between trailer 67 & 66……. it was a horrible crash. I was not living here at the time. however i- like you guys live to find ghosts.

After living here for quite sometime. i can tell you that i feel alot of the horror here in the park from that crash. i just wanted you guys to correct the web page and say that it was touhy mobile home park…. not des plaines. des plaines is the next park over from here. if you guys ever get the Categories chance please come out here and check out the crash site……… i think you would find it to be interesting to say the least….. California (8) Touhy mobile home park is located right next to the k-9 place.. the park right next to that one is Fresno (1) called Des Plaines mobile home park.. I live on that side on the park ( the left side of the park Los Angeles County (4) closest to the k-9 place) The park that everyone lists in books is wrong. always has been. The Laurel Canyon (1) landlord here is totally against bad raps that this trailer park gets from the airplane crash. When the Linda Vista Hospital (1) accident happened I was living in Arlington hts. ( not too far away from des plaines ) When I moved Napa County (2) here I had heard about the crash and began asking the local residents about the crash. I have Nevada (1) always had a sort of “pull” to ghost sites. After questioning a ton of people in here. I went to go Ghost Hunting Advice (1) Illinois (67) look around the land behind my house. I can feel vibrations and you just ” know” this place has 1. Legends & Lore (15) several ghosts. The Gate, Libertyville (15) But I can tell you that someone needs to come out here and check out this whole area. Over 200 10. Mafia (1) people died when this plane went down. Some of the people were never found. My mother in law Biograph Theater/John Dillinger (1) did clean up there on that night. I guess children were on the plane as well. I believe that these 12. City Cemeteries (1) ghosts are what I call “recording ghosts” every year they repeat the same actions. Bohemian National Cemetery (1) Montrose Cemetery (1) I am moving very soon. I bought a home in Antioch, IL. Have you guys heard anything about the 14. Northside & Beyond (5) history out there at all (Antioch H.S. Abbey Woods, etc.)? I do know the town was founded in 1853 Calvary Cemetery (1) or something like that. and that there was a huge fire around the turn of the century, claiming Stickney House (2) many lives. Also anything thats around water has some paranormal action to it. Please let me know Sunnybrook (1) if you guys have anything on lake county at all. Esp. Antioch. — Janet Woodstock Opera House (1) Response from Scott Markus: Janet, as far as Antioch High School is concerned, there is no 15. More Illinois (15) concrete edivence as to why it is haunted. One student died in the gymnasium and another died Abbey Woods- Antioch (1) during a school-sponsored Halloween function, but it is the art wing in the basement of the school Antioch (1) that is haunted. The haunting has been acknowledged by students, teachers, and the principal, Barrington (5) although the principal is attempting to keep it quiet, ignore what’s happening. Abbey Woods is Chatsworth (1) actually the grounds of monastery, so, technically, even visiting the area is trespassing. From what Elgin (1) I’ve been told through interviews the area was very often used for “Fight Clubs” ever since the movie Highland Park (1) “Fight Club” came out. Also, I know one Antioch HS teen attempted suicide on the land, however Lake Zurich (1) they did not die (however, negative energy from this event may still be present). The amount of info Libertyville (2) on the location I’ve found so far is really not enough. That’s why, after doing interviews, we Manteno Asylum (1) decided not to include it in the book we put out.

Mundelein Seminary (1) However, “The Gate” (a Lake County Haunt), Antioch High School, and the crash of Flight 191 is in Shoe Factory Road (1) the book. I have not come across any Antioch hauntings relating to the fire, but you are absolutely Streamwood (1) right that it’s worth looking into further. Places like Antioch, Milburn, Waukegan, and Crystal Lake 2. Bars & Restaurants (2) are really overshadowed in the ghost community by places like Lake Forest, Cuba township, and Country House Restaurant (1) Justice, IL, and overshadowed in the historical community by Chicago and, again, Lake Forest Red Lion Pub (2) despite the fact that these smaller towns have a long and rich history. As far as “The Gate” is 4. Cuba Road (45) concerned,keep browsing this site as there are metric tons of information on the site. Cuba Road (12) Lastly, ghost images on film. I can say without a doubt that we’ve captured images on still photo Rainbow Road (33) film and on infrared videotape that we cannot fully explain. One video in Bachelor’s Grove we White Cemetery (20) captured strange lights and even the image of a boy on infrared video. In most images of the type 5. Haunted Homes (4) it’s a far-off blur, but in this case the boy is standing in front of a tree about four feet from the 6. Schools (3) camera. Also, this image was only discovered upon returning home and watching the video again – Antioch High School (2) we did not notice it at the time. It’s a very safe estimate to say we’ve visited known haunted Barat College (1) locations – always with video and photo equipment – at least 500 times, but we never expect to 7. South & West Side Cemeteries (3) see/experience/photograph anything unusual. It’s rare that we ever do. Saying this, we’ve had the Bachelor's Grove Cemetery (1) most ‘success’ at Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery (Midlothian) and Robinson Woods Indian Burial Robinson Woods (3) Grounds (Norridge). All the best & keep your questions coming! 8. Disasters (2) Crash of Flight 191 (1) Response from Faeriesdust74 (a fellow reader): I am responding to a question about Eastland (1) Antioch, IL. I attended Antioch High for a couple of years and never heard of hauntings, but that 9. Places of Worship (1) was back in the late ’80s/early’90s. However, while I attended Antioch, many students died in St. Sava's Serbian Monastery (1) crashes, suicides, and there was also a murder committed by a classmate against another Texas (1) classmate. I lived in Oakwood Knolls subdivision and had been to Abbey Woods often. There was Wisconsin (1) many sighting in and around the Abbey itself. Antioch is also known to have been a retreat area for Al Capone. It’s said he owned a house in Antioch and that it’s haunted.

Haunted Chatsworth: I currently live in Chatsworth, IL, which is known for one of the worst Follow us on Twitter! train wrecks in American history in 1887. I believe this town has many ghosts. It is a very small town of 1300 people. I bought an old house that was built in the late 1800s or early 1900s. I @ IMKristenBell - @ redeyeloon 's Sloth believe this house to be haunted. Often while taking pictures, many strange things show up in them artwork: http://t.co/WwOZU8AU 41 and while walking on the stairs, people often feel as of they are being pushed. Several accidents minutes ago have happened on these stairs. The attic door opens by itself and things are heard throughout the @ IMKristenBell Just saw the Sloth story house as if people are moving about when I am the only one home. Have you heard of any other on Ellen. I knew there was a reason hauntings in this area? @ redeyeloon & I loved you so much on the FSM set! We <3 sloths! 43 minutes ago Response from Scott Markus: I personally have not, but am now quite intrigued. If anyone out there knows of any Chatsworth, Illinois haunts, please leave a comment below!
