ANGELS & DEMONS:
The Good, the Bad
& the Devil Baby
Available for Private Tours
Hosted by Ursula Bielski
Chicago's
ghostlore is riddled with religious wraiths. Tales of cloven-hooved
strangers, winged wanderers, and--famously--the spawn of the Devil
himself. Come along on a spiritual journey as we explore the saintly
and the sinister among some of the city's most cherished tales. We'll
tell of Julia Buccola Petta, the sainted Italian Bride, whose body was
miraculously preserved after a tragic young death. We'll hear of the
night Satan came to dance with the young girls of Bridgeport--and of
the literal mark he left behind. We'll revisit the supernatural life of
Father Arnold Damen, and hear how he may have divinely influenced the
Great Chicago Fire--and how he still haunts the church and school he
founded.
We'll
view the church where more than 200 parishoners claimed to witness a
demon approach the altar one night to receive Holy Communion--an event
published in the Chicago Tribune, and you'll hear how the Juvenile
Courts are haunted by one of the most influential bishops Chicago has
ever known. We'll visit one of the most haunted houses in Chicago,
cradle of the Rosemary's Baby story, and you'll be stunned at what
stands today on the birth site of the founder of the Church of Satan
himself, Anton LaVey.
$45 per person includes full tour with Ursula Bielski
and special guests, prizes and snacks on bus. BYOB allowed on
bus, but please, no hard coolers. Tour includes one tavern stop (Cash
bar) but 12 and over ok.

HAUNTINGS
of ARCHER AVENUE:
Resurrection Mary & Beyond
Sunday, April 28 / 2-6pm
Hosted by Ursula Bielski with Special Guests
Few
roads in the world rival the super-haunted reputation of Chicago's
Archer Avenue, home to some of the city's most legendary ghost stories,
including the most famous Vanishing Hitchhiker on earth, Resurrection
Mary. This road was constructed by poor Irish immigrants --builders of
the controversial and ill-funded Illinois & Michigan Canal-- who
laid down the road over an ancient Indian trail known for its spiritual
powers. The slavelike conditions of their labor, their deaths from
hunger, thirst, disease and violence: all live on in the deep folklore
of this storied region. We'll visit the Back of the Yards neighborhood,
home to Mary Bregovy, believed by many to have been the ill-fated
phantom in life, pass her home on South Damen Avenue--and the funeral
home where her body lay--, continue to Summit, Illinois, the hometown
of little Ana Norkus, killed on the eve of her thirteenth birthday, who
many claim as the ghost in question. We'll visit the cemeteries of
Archer Road, look for the ghost light of Maple Lake, and hear of the
secrets of Red Gate Woods. Finally, we'll lift a Bloody Mary and share
some sustenance at Chet's Melody Lounge, across from the gates of
Resurrection Cemetery, where Mary herself is said to have sought
shelter one blustery winter's night.
This tour is open to all ages, but you may also BYOB on this very special tour. Please no hard coolers.
$55 per person includes full tour and transportation and prizes plus
appetizers at Chet's. BYOB ok on the bus. Cash bar at Chet's.
