The near‑westside facility is widely known for having the highest level of spiritual activity of any place in the Midwest. Its history is deeply intertwined with one of Chicago’s greatest tragedies — the Eastland Disaster — where 844 passengers lost their lives, many of them families enjoying a Western Electric company outing.
Seventy percent of those who perished were under 25 years old, leaving a profound emotional and spiritual imprint. When the Eastland capsized only 20 feet from the dock, entire family lines were lost forever.
The former Mortuary, became the place where many of these souls were laid in state. Western Electric employees were largely native to the Cicero area, and mortuary cared for the deceased while comforting grieving families.
Investigators who enter this building often feel that Eastland spirits are among the primary energies inhabiting the space. Yet the building also carries a wide range of personalities from the spirit world.
Just half a block away once stood one of Al Capone’s hotel, and naturally, this mortuary handled more than its share of his men. Many were waked in this very chapel, adding another layer of history and spiritual resonance.
Past investigators have described the building as a portal, a place where spirits travel between planes. The ley lines beneath the property suggest an optimal energetic position for heightened activity.
There is truly no end to the spiritual presence within these walls. Guests are encouraged to bring their spirit‑contact equipment and explore the legacy of the energies that remain.

The world of ghosts and spirits is far more fascinating than most people realize. Every location carries its own unique history, yet the energy that lingers behind often reveals a deeper and more meaningful story. Ghosts and Spirit can make their presence known in places where emotion, memory, and unfinished stories remain strong. These spiritual imprints create environments where the veil feels thinner, allowing sensitives, seekers, and investigators to experience the echoes of lives once lived and the lessons they still wish to share.
In many spiritually active places, the atmosphere itself seems to hold a quiet awareness — a sense that the past has not fully stepped away. Moments of joy, sorrow, transition, and tragedy leave behind subtle vibrations that continue to resonate through time. When we enter these spaces with respect and openness, we often find that Spirit responds, offering glimpses into experiences long forgotten by the living. These encounters remind us that consciousness does not simply disappear; it transforms, observes, and sometimes reaches out to be acknowledged.

Paranormal Research and History
Paranormal and Spirit/Ghost research is like any other field. Highly specialize and unique in its own right. Today with the help of electronic instruments adn new AI technology it is rapidly gaining recognition and respect from the world of science and many spiritual leaders. Spirit/Ghost communication is as old as mankind.
Ancestor-worship became a form of religion as illustrated in cave paintings found all throughout the world, as far back as 32,000 years ago.
Primitive man knew ancestors survived death and they had powers to affect, heal, and guide the living. Medicine men and women, along with elders in various tribes would communicate with the deceased ancestors and share messages.

Throughout history, the Greeks consulted oracles, the Assyrians & Romans consulted gods and spirits. Native Americans prayed and communicated with their ancestors for guidance. Also, Jesus of Nazareth demonstrated his ability to communicate with Spirit or commonly referred to as the Holy Ghost. These “innate practice” dating back to the origins of man; show the need for connection to a natural, magical, mystical, and unknown world. In Bibical times the called the Mediums Prophet and Seers.
Thus, is the birth of the Paranormal Investigator and the organizing of team investigations. The quest of communicating with the other world, and paranormal interest groups are taking it a step further from believing Prophet, Seers, Channels and Mediums to the place of I want to communicate for myself and Know.
The chant appears to be “I no longer want to take another’s word for it, I want to do it myself”
