Disasters, Abbey Woods- Antioch, Antioch High School, Bachelor's Grove Cemetery, Chatsworth, Crash of Flight 191, Illinois, Robinson Woods, The Gate, Libertyville — scottlmarkus — 3 Comments 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 (1) http://voicesfromthegrave.blog.com/2004/03/09/touhy-mobile-home-park-the-crash-of-flight-191/[2/2/2012 4:36:04 PM] Touhy Mobile Home Park & the Crash of Flight 191 | Voices from the Grave 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! Will be ghost hunting at the IL Beach Resort w/ Ursula Bielski & the WI Paranormal Investigators.

I examine how song and dance – sites of aesthetic difference within the musical – can warp time and enable marginalized and semi-marginalized fans to imagine different ways of being in the world. Musical numbers can complicate a linear, developmental plot by accelerating and decelerating time, foregrounding repetition and circularity, bringing the past to life and projecting into the future, and physicalizing dreams in a narratively open present. These excesses have the potential to contest naturalized constructions of historical, progressive time, as well as concordant constructions of gender, sexual, and racial identities. While the musical has historically been a rich source of identification for the stereotypical white gay male show queen, this project validates a broad and flexible range of non-normative readings.

Podvia —Carl Sandburg, Chicago The City of Chicago has had its more than its share of murder, mayhem and disaster. All of these happenings attracted national attention; a few resulted in regulations that have improved health and safety. This is a listing of some of the most well-known Chicago tragedies. You might want to visit some or all of these places during your time in Chicago. Several of these are located within walking distance of the AALL Annual Meeting. Some others can be reached via public transportation. Be aware that not all of these locations are open to the public. Federal Regulations Gone Awry: The Sinking of the SS Eastland Chicago Riverwalk between LaSalle and Clark Streets The SS Eastland, a popular Chicago-based excursion boat, was launched in 1902. Known for its speed, the vessel had a design flaw that made it top-heavy. The problem was worsened following the passage of the Federal Seamen's Act in 1915. The act, adopted is response to the RMS Titanic disaster, required the retrofitting of a complete set of lifeboats on the Eastland. The additional weight made the unstable ship even more dangerous.

    LANDMARK DESIGNATION REPORT Village Theatre (Originally Germania Theater) 1546-1550 North Clark Street Preliminary Landmark recommendation approved by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks, April 3, 2008 CITY OF CHICAGO Richard M. Daley, Mayor Department of Zoning and Land Use Planning Patti A. Scudiero, Commissioner The Commission on Chicago Landmarks, whose ten members are appointed by the Mayor and City Council, was established in 1968 by city ordinance. The Commission is responsible for recommending to the City Council which individual buildings, sites, objects, or districts should be designated as Chicago Landmarks, which protects them by law. The landmark designation process begins with a staff study and a preliminary summary of informa- tion related to the potential designation criteria. The next step is a preliminary vote by the landmarks commission as to whether the proposed landmark is worthy of consideration. This vote not only initiates the formal designation process, but it places the review of city permits for the property under the jurisdic- tion of the Commission until a final landmark recommendation is acted on by the City Council. This Landmark Designation Report is subject to possible revision and amendment during the designation process. Only language contained within the designation ordinance adopted by the City Council should be regarded as final. Cover: The Village Theatre at 1546-1550 N. Clark Street on the Near North Side. The building is a rare- surviving “first-generation” movie theater in Chicago built in 1916 exclusively for motion picture use.

  • State Changes Trans-ID Policy
    THE VOICE OF CHICAGO’S GAY, LESBIAN, BI AND TRANS COMMUNITY SINCE 1985 Nov. 18, 2009 • vol 25 No 7 www.WindyCityMediaGroup.com State Changes Trans-ID Policy BY SAMUEL WORLEY Hall A new policy adopted by the Illinois Depart- page 7 ment of Public Health’s Division of Vital Records of Fame makes it easier for transgender people to receive birth certificates that accurately reflect their gender identity. Previously, trans people who had sex-reas- signment surgery (SRS) were only able to have that surgery recognized if it was performed by a U.S.-licensed surgeon. With the policy change, people who travel overseas for surgery—for rea- sons of cost or to seek surgeons with greater expertise—will be able to obtain birth certifi- cates reflecting the fact of their SRS no matter where it was performed. The change came as the Division of Vital Re- cords issued new birth certificates to two trans- women who had overseas surgeries. It also is- sued a new birth certificate to a transman who, under the previous policy, would have been re- Clinton quired to have medically unnecessary surgery. page 4 “I am a woman and now I have a birth certifi- in Chicago cate that reflects this reality,” said Victoria Kirk, one of the beneficiaries of the policy change, Vital said in a statement. Kirk was a plaintiff in a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Illinois. According to the ACLU, Illinois had for years al- Idols page 8 lowed individuals to change the gender marker on their birth certificates regardless of where SRS took place.
