Hi! Free Street Theater and the Friends of the Bloomingdale Trail are looking for YOUR stories of Chicago ghosts, hauntings, and other spooky things -bonus if they happened near the trail, or in neighborhoods along the trail. We are looking for real stories in the sense that they happened to you or someone you know well (no cousin of a friend of an ex of someone's grandma's mechanic please...)
This is part of an ongoing project to create public events centered on real Chicago ghost stories. By filling out this form, you agree that we may use some portion of your story in future iterations of project. You will have the option of choosing to be credited, or to participate further. For specific questions, please contact
info@freestreet.orgFree Street, in collaboration with researcher Coya Paz, has been collecting stories of Chicago hauntings for the past five years. The Friends of the Bloomingdale Trail has been producing free, public events centered on the Trail. Together, we believe ghost stories can bring us together, build connections, and tell us something about our histories and our communities. Plus, they can be fun!
