A COW, A LANTERN AND A MYTH
There’s a common myth that pops up anytime the Chicago Fire of 1871 comes up in conversation: that a woman named Catherine O’Leary was milking her cow when the cow kicked over a lantern, igniting the barn and starting the fire that would destroy much of the city.

TRIP TO CHICAGO
Tillie Klimek House
Many do not know about the Chicago serial killer who murdered all three of her husbands. The men would become mysteriously sick and die soon after. It has been reported that, with her last husband, even when he was feeling better, the woman bragged about the deal she got on a coffin. Klimek was convicted for her crimes, and her house still stands today. Locals report feeling strange when they are near the building.
The Teresita Basa Possession
A young woman was found with a knife in her chest inside a burning Lincoln Park apartment in 1977. Legend has it that a woman married to the deceased woman's co-worker went into trances and channeled Basa, revealing her murderer and uncovering stollen jewelry.

Bodies Under Lincoln Park
What was previously a graveyard became a public park in 1860. As many graves were unmarked, not all were excavated, leaving many plots to be built on top of. When the Chicago History Museum was built, digging for the foundation revealed heaps of bones.
