Chicago’s most haunted locales with film school level audio visual equipment. Chelsea and I, Canon PowerShot digital camera, 8/7/2009.

A low-angle view of a Chicago river bridge structure, focusing on a large, ornate architectural guard tower with rectangular windows near the top. Surrounding it, taller modern skyscrapers loom in the background, with a cloudy night sky above. The scene blends historical architecture with urban modernity, framed by a dim yet dramatic light.

A close-up of a dirty, grime-covered window, dominating the foreground with an abstract, blurry texture. Behind the window, orange-tinted light glows faintly, while a small, sharp detail near the center-right appears like an "eye" or reflection, adding an eerie, ghostly suggestion. The photo's lack of clarity amplifies the mysterious, haunting vibe.

this one’s the only photo with an actual ghost in it

A barred doorway lit by a bright yellow-orange light above, casting harsh shadows on the surrounding brick wall. A prominent red "No Trespassing Violators Will Be Prosecuted" sign hangs on the gate, while construction-style barricades with reflective lights sit in front. The image emphasizes restriction and caution, matching the night's ghost-hunting theme. A long tunnel illuminated by a series of yellow-orange lights, creating a moody, dimly lit urban atmosphere. The left side features a metal railing extending into the distance, while the right side showcases a flat brick wall with a small gated area and a metal utility box. Emergency barriers and a barred gate with no trespassing signs are visible in the foreground. The perspective emphasizes the tunnel's depth and infrastructure details. A blurry, motion-heavy image looking downward into a pit-like structure. Wooden beams and metal supports frame the edges of the shot, while the center shows a dirt and gravel surface. The photo's lack of sharp focus and dim lighting create an unsettling, ambiguous effect, contributing to the ghost-hunting theme.

A fenced-off grassy area, dimly illuminated by streetlights, with scattered trees and small bushes. To the right, a woman, Chelsea, stands on the sidewalk, partially visible and seemingly looking toward the area. In the background, brick buildings and cars line the street, with a slightly eerie ambiance due to the nighttime lighting and shadows.

A blurry nighttime photograph of a tree trunk and its surroundings, with the base of the tree appearing to have a strange, red liquid on it, reminiscent of blood. The tree is next to a black wrought iron fence, and the ground is covered in pebbles, illuminated by warm yellow lighting from nearby streetlights. The graininess of the image and its slightly out-of-focus quality add an eerie atmosphere.

A close-up photograph of the same tree trunk base, now illuminated with a bright flash. The mysterious red substance appears thick, glossy, and textured, possibly paint, but it remains unsettling. Details such as what looks like a nail, worm, or other small object are visible embedded in the liquid. The bark of the tree is rough, and the liquid's wet sheen adds to the creepy ambiance.

A photograph of a dimly lit back alley in the Lincoln Park neighborhood, surrounded by residential buildings. Yellow-tinted streetlights illuminate parts of the scene, including a green dumpster and wet patches on the pavement. Shadows and deep brick textures on the buildings on either side give the image a sense of quiet foreboding. A dark alley photograph featuring a row of green dumpsters on the right side and tall brick walls on both sides. Dim yellow lighting casts long shadows, and the ground is littered with debris. Overhead utility wires crisscross above, adding to the urban and slightly eerie environment. The opposite end of the alley, showing more brick walls, a portable toilet port-o-potty labeled “National,” and scattered barricades. The alley stretches into the distance with soft lighting from residential buildings beyond. The stark lines of the buildings and muted yellow light enhance the sense of isolation. A photograph taken through a window, showing the dimly lit interior of a bar rumored to have ties to Al Capone. The bar features old wooden chairs and tables, with faint reflections of red lighting visible on the furniture. The scene feels aged and ghostly, with an air of suspense. A shot of an architectural scene at night, showing textured concrete and brick walls in the foreground. Behind them, a tall modern building with bright yellow-lit windows reveals metal staircases on each floor. The contrast between the historic and modern elements, combined with the sharp lines and illumination, creates an engaging and slightly mysterious composition. A dimly lit interior of a building captured at night through a glass window. The photo reveals a shadowy construction area with faint yellow light illuminating some elements. The left side shows wooden structures while shadows dominate the right, creating an eerie and mysterious vibe. A nighttime graveyard scene featuring a grassy area with scattered tombstones and a large tree. A streetlight in the background casts an orange glow, partially illuminating the tombstones and creating long shadows that add to the spooky atmosphere. The foliage of the tree is thick and slightly blurred. A blurry photograph of a cemetery with a prominent large tree and a pointed obelisk-style tombstone in the background. The grass appears uneven, and the image is poorly exposed in some areas, adding to the disorienting and unsettling effect. A blurry, yellow-toned photo showing an object that appears white and phantom or ghost-like among the branches of a tree. The barbed wire fence line runs horizontally near the bottom of the image, enhancing the photo's threatening quality. A dark nighttime photograph taken in a cemetery, featuring a black sky partially obscured by tall, shadowy trees on either side. In the foreground, faint tombstones are scattered on the ground, illuminated slightly by the camera's flash. Suspended in the air are several white orbs, adding an eerie and mysterious atmosphere to the image. The photo captures a creepy, uneasy, ghoulish vibe. A flash-lit cemetery scene highlighting a single white tombstone monument that is brightly illuminated, contrasting with the surrounding darker tombstones and trees. The stark lighting gives the monument an almost spectral quality, with tree branches framing the background. A dark and shaky image of the graveyard grounds surrounded by dense trees. Faint, eerie light filters through the trees, casting uneven shadows on the ground. The overall scene is dimly lit and grainy with this haunting setting.
