Chicago Haunted Handbook: 99 Ghostly Places You Can Visit in and Around the Windy City

Gangsters, Gaslights, and Ghastly Murders--Join in Chicago’s Grandest Ghost Hunt

Chicago Haunted Handbook, part of the popular America’s Haunted Road Trip series, is written with the ghost enthusiast in mind. All 100 chapters contain information on the history and the haunting surrounding each location, as well as detailed directions on how to locate each site. Many of the chapters also contain insider information that only a local would know, making it easier for ghost hunters to investigate. Ghost hunters Jeff Morris and Vincent Sheilds explore all the best haunted locales Chicago has to offer, including Resurrection Cemetery, Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery, Murder Castle, the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre Site, and even Wrigley Field. Each two-page entry includes directions from downtown, a historical overview of the haunted place, the story of ghostly doings in that place, and advice on visiting yourself--if you dare.

Jeff Morris achieved his degree in English from the haunted Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and spent the early part of his career as an English instructor at a college in Cincinnati. While teaching, Jeff became interested in the ghost stories in the Cincinnati area. In 2005, he started working with his brother, Michael Morris, on their first book, Haunted Cincinnati and Southwest Ohio, which was published in June of 2009 by Arcadia Publishing. Beyond the book, Jeff has become very involved in the paranormal field in the Midwest. In 2006 he and his brother founded Miamitown Ghost Tours, which continues to run year round. In 2009, they joined a paranormal investigation group called CAPER (Cincinnati Area Paranormal Existence Research), and they started an online radio show called Miamitown Ghost Talk. In the fall of 2010, both Jeff and Michael published Cincinnati Haunted Handbook. He lives in Cincinnati.
