Chicago, Illinois Ghost Tales

When I lived in Chicago near Midway airport we moved into a house where the previous owner was suddenly killed by a train. Strange things used to occur in our house. One night our coffee pot brewed up to 5 cups, the radio all of a sudden got extremely loud and the room I slept in was the room where the previous owner's wife slept in, the tv would just change channels on its own. Another night I was laying in my bed watching tv and my parents were watching the other tv in our basement when I heard footsteps coming toward my room and out of the corner of my eye I saw a man walk past my room. Thinking it was my dad going to my parent's bedroom, I called out to my dad and no one answered. I went downstairs where my parents were sitting and I asked my dad if he had been upstairs and he replied he has been downstairs all night. My dog would constantly wag her tail and take commands from this ghost. We finally figured it out it was the previous owner and when we called out to him, his name was Ed, he would stop all his antics. The day we were moving to  
    our new house I walked through the house while the movers were taking the furniture and yelled out to Ed to follow us to our next house as we felt comforted with him there. Not knowing if he listened my mom and I went to see a clairvoyant who mentioned a man named Ed was there to say hi to us. He said he did not come with us as he did not want to leave
  his house but he is haunting the new owners. They do not realize what he does but he also said he liked us and missed us living in the house.

Well I've actually been to my friend's house her house is old. We were playing and running around and all of a sudden we see a little boy in her attic window. Both of us knew it was true because both of us saw it. We ran inside and told her mom about it she did tell us a little boy was murdered in there but she didn't want to tell us about it. She ran outside and tells me she's been sleeping over at her cousins and I hadn't been over at her house for about a year. If you hadn't experienced this type of activity you're sooo lucky. P.S. Chicago is one of the most haunted places in Illinois ever since the great Chicago Fire.

My Mom grew up in Chicago. When she was about 13 Her and her family moved into a
new home and one night she woke up from a bad dream and went into the living room to sit on the couch and wait for her Dad to come home. Her Dad worked late at nights and it was around 2 am. Suddenly she heard her front door open and slam, she looked over thinking it was her Dad but no one was there. Than she saw the door open again and slammed again. She looked outside the window of the kitchen, which you could see outside, to the street. She saw an image of a teenage girl standing there, than she disappeared. The next day my Mom found out that a girl had died about a year ago, she was shot and murdered in front of my Mom's home. The teenage girl had been outside looking for her little sister, who liked to hide in other people's homes because she knew everyone. My Mom believes that the teenage girl was just checking her home looking for her little sister.
