Me and Fatina Ghost Hunting |
While we were in Chicago, we had to visit one of the most famous gangster's in history,
Al Capone.
Maybe you've seen the movie
Scarface, which just happened to be Al's nickname. So, we took a road trip to
Mount Carmel Cemetery to pay our respects. And, of course, Mount Carmel is said to be haunted. But, not by Al. Instead the story Julia Petta, the disappearing
lady in the white gown.
But, still we had to stop by Al's grave.

Al Capone's Grave |
Even though Al Capone went to prison at 33, and died January 25, 1947, it looks like a lot of people still visit his grave.

Stormy Skies over Mount Carmel Cemetery |
The clouds rolled in and it turned into a stormy sort of experience. And, as we searched for the specific gravesite, we came upon some beautiful crypts.

A beautiful place to sit and remember. . . loved ones |
We didn't have any paranormal experiences while we were there although as soon as we climbed out of the car, it started to rain, and as soon as we climbed back in the car, it cleared up. We started to leave and, we got a little turned around for a second, so we drove back by the cemetery, and it started to rain again. Just a little creep factor.
We also went on a Gangsters and Ghosts tour in downtown Chicago and had to stop at Death Alley, which is said to be haunted by the victims of the fire of December 30, 1903. Over 2000 people were inside the theater in front of the alley, when an electrical fire broke out and claimed hundreds of lives.

Death Alley in Chicago |
There were lots of other spooky sites but I'll save those for Part 5 of Ghosts, Gangsters & Ghouls.
After our Gangsters and Ghosts tour, we were tired so we went back to our hotel and enjoyed another type of spirits ;D
