My dad heard ghostly voices in german on several occasions in our garage. This was in the 1980s on Lincoln avenue . A friend of mine who lived in an apartmemt building on Chicago St, walked through a man an woman (semi-transparent) as he ascended a staircase. The couple nodded and smiled at him, as he quickly moved to the opposite staircase rail. My friend’ s wife witnessed the event-she remained at the foot of the staircase! .

I dont think its haunted because i went there in 2001-2003 and i went back stage everyday and our teacher took us to the attic but we never saw anything scary. I think that just because someone died in it that doesn’t mean its haunted… Until there is real proof I’ll believe it.

No i was told by an elgin historian that it was a man who choked on a blueberrie at his honeymoon and that his tombstone was the only one they didnt get remove when it was a cemetery.

There are alot of haunted houses in and around Elgin, I grew up in one on channing street, went to channing School and walked the park, which is a cementary, there are spirits there. There are haunted tours that you can go on in elgin. Books at Sunset is hosting one
this year on Oct 31. I am told that they will have a spiritualist
medium there as well. I haave been on Judi’s tours and they are
darn good.
