Video: Ghost Box in use and responses at haunted Chicago paranormal location

Video: Ghost Box in use and responses at haunted Chicago paranormal location
by Edward Shanahan

The video you will view (follow link below), was shot in the spring of 2008 (as you will hear questions pertaining to Hillary and Obama and the answers from the ghost box and who would even win), of a paranormal date we had at a haunted mansion in Joliet, IL. The video was taped by LAPS and posted in 2009.

On this video at 5:42 into the video, you will see and hear individuals using a Ghost Box and the responses received in 2008. The ghost box being used in the video is the one owned by Ms. Ursula Beilski. The Ghost Box session started with me and then others joined in asking questions. A Ghost Box can be an interesting tool that individuals can use and many receive results from using.

* View the video at: Haunted America Tours

For 2011, I have purchased and will have a ghost box for individuals to use on my Chicago Paranormal Nights and I will assist them in using it. The different ghost boxes that I have come across in the past have responded well to my use and I look forward to having one with us now at all times at our haunted historic locations paranormal nights.

For dates on future Chicago Paranormal Nights at haunted historic locations or having your own private paranormal night for you and your friends with every paranormal night ending in a séance, visit the web page of dates and locations at:

Happy Hauntings,

Haunted Archer Avenue - video tour of the area's haunted locations

Haunted Archer Avenue - video tour
by Edward Shanahan

The video below was done one day when I decided
to just pull out the camera and jump in the
car and go video tape the haunted locations
on the historic paranormal road known as
Archer Avenue, to give individuals the chance
to view the locations that they may have just
read about.

I have been published in three paranormal
books do to my knowledge of the locations
shown here on the video, as I have lived all
my life within 5 minutes of haunted Archer
Avenue, S.W. of Chicago.

It also includes the Grimes Sisters haunted
location along with Resurrection Mary haunts,
Al Capone's haunted building, haunted
cemeteries, haunted woods and more.

Enjoy,

The Seances with Edward Shanahan in Chicago area

Hello Readers,

Well I'm now deep in to doing the Seances at the Haunted Historic Locations.

They have been going very well. We did one last Tuesday night at the Joliet Scutt Mansion, that also brought out a TV crew and morning radio show hosts. They requested to come out, I did not send any PR stuff out to anyone to invite them out.

Also appearing in a newspaper this coming week will be an article by a reporter who attended my first Seance at the Senator Humphrey House about 3 weeks ago, again one who requested to experience it (and they and their photographer did experience).

Another sign that their going well, is others around my area who never offered to do such a thing (as in the past with the type of readings I do, Internet radio broadcast etc...), are attempting to get on the bandwagon to do so now.

I'm waiting on a EVP from the one at the Scutt Mansion, a response from a spirit to one of my requests.

Thank You to all who have attended and those in the future..

You can hold your own private paranormal night and seances at a Haunted Historic Location, for more information go to:

Bachelor's Grove Cemetery Video Tour.

Hello Visitors,

The World can now view a tour of the haunted historic Bachelor's Grove Cemetery. My name is Edward Shanahan and this is an un-edited video that I shot back in 2003 and it is below this article about Bachelors Grove Cemetery.

Since posted in 2006 - it has had over 44,000 views. Plus some surprises of what I captured can be seen on the video - here are the comments left by visitors on the host page for the video:

ghost house:
near the end of the video, after the well hole, as he pans around you can see the ghost house he is taking about--just before he focuses on the fire pit.
By ripleye2

Ghost house:
I saw the ghost house too - when he pans to the left by the fire pit you can see it and then again more solid when he pans back to the right.
By dmva

House at:
You can see the house at 15:11 and 15:34.. that's f...... awesome
By Wild Car

Bachelor's Grove Cemetery has become a Paranormal Tour Stop or a Paranormal Attraction right outside of Chicago for those with an interest in Ghosts, legends, the paranormal or just a day out for some spooky fun at a spooky place to wander around. As you will see on the video here, there is much more to wander around, then just the cemetery section.

The cemetery is under the supervision and responsibility of the Cemetery Trustees of the Cook County Board. Through intergovernmental agreements, maintenance of the cemetery is now shared with the Cook County Forest Preserve District. The history of Bachelor's Grove Cemetery (including the above), can be found at http://bachelorsgrove.com/History/index.htm and was written by Brad L. Bettenhausen, President of the Tinley Park Historical Society.

I have always said "If you are a Tax Payer in Cook County, the location is as much yours to visit and tour as it is for anyone else". In all reality, I believe the Cook County Forest Preserve District should turn it into a 'registered' tourist location and even go as far as charging an admission for night tours (as that would be it's biggest draw).

But it has to be run by one in the world of business or one who knows how to run a business dealing with the paranormal and general public, not a paranormal investigator or paranormal team, as the wrong person or team could end up feeling he / they own Bachelor's Grove Cemetery, just because they oversee it's operation, and that would not be true as stated in the paragraph above.

Also written by Brad L. Bettenhausen, President of the Tinley Park Historical Society: Periodically, families with ancestors buried at Bachelor Grove had the bodies moved to other cemeteries, that were more prestigious, closer to where they lived, or where there was more room for future family members. The cemetery's isolated location and vandalism of more recent years also compelled some families to move relatives to other cemeteries.

That has always made me wonder, how many are actually still buried there, if any? As part of the vandalism had to also do with grave robbers. For that reason I'm a firm believer in leaving Mother Nature take back what was once hers, and as you look at the video and see the trees that have broken down the fence, the trees seem to just topple over with their roots even still showing and collapse the fence around the cemetery, I think Mother Nature is winning. It also seems that some people, as one person called it, have done a "Rape and Pillage' of the nature at Bachelor's Grove Cemetery.

I've been told that there seems to have been pesticides used on flowers and plant life in the area, some of the trees have been spray painted (I've seen that), tree limbs cut (I've seen photos from a so called 'clean-up' a couple years back and a guy was holding a gas run tree trimmer in his hands), signs of areas cut down to make pathways for easier navigation and more. This kind of activity should be stopped, as it abuses nature and the grounds, that is one of the reasons I feel it would be good for the location to become a 'registered historic tourist attraction' run by the Cook County Forest Preserve as mentioned earlier in this article.

I have been involved in a Historical Society that took a group there, and at other times I have had individuals meet me and we track out to the location and beyond, usually once a year I do this, and this year it was with the people from the Bachelor's Grove Cemetery forum at the Bachelors Grove.com web site at: http://bachelors-grove.com/ A great group of individuals there and most likely the largest group forum about Bachelor's Grove with over 700 members. So there usually is no problem in finding others with an interest in venturing out to Bachelors Grove on any given weekend, all you have to do is post and ask.

They are not an Investigation Team, no-member dues etc.. just a nice group of individuals interested in the Paranormal and Supernatural besides just Bachelor's Grove Cemetery. The web site is owned by an individual who I gave the name of 'Mr. Bachelor's Grove Cemetery', for the fact of the number of individuals that visit his web site and are members of his forum. The owner is Mr. John Stephenson.

We even had Mr. Bachelor's Grove, John Stephenson as a guest on my Internet radio show 'The Unexplained World' and he talked with Annette and I about the location, his findings and more. You can hear or download the re-broadcast of the show here 'The Unexplained World' and it's an hour of information and history.

I for one ventured back into Bachelor's Grove Cemetery, way back in 1976 for the first time, back then there was no Paranormal Investigation Teams etc.. Bachelor's Grove to me, was what is was to many, just good teenage spooky fun. I could claim that my Paranormal interests and study goes back that far, but I would be lying to you and my self. As the only resource about Haunted Bachelor's Grove Cemetery, goes back to the Chicago Paranormal Legend, Mr. Richard Crowe and like many, we would hear about the legend of Bachelors Grove when he would appear on the radio.

A lot has changed since that time back in 1976, I will be written about in two more books about the Paranormal this year, and one will include what I have to say and photos on Bachelor's Grove Cemetery, as the author came to me about a year ago. That makes a total of four paranormal books that authors about the paranormal have included me in, and I'm not even a Paranormal Investigator, but have lived my whole life in the Chicago land areas most haunted and active areas. But I have been given the title of 'Paranormal Spirit Observer' and I also do Conscious Channeling / Medium work and Psychic Readings. Also I work with Historical Societies that have haunted locations, like Mansions, a Senator's house etc..

Two Haunted Historic Landmarks in Chicago area for you and friends to explore all year long.

Two Haunted Historic Landmark Locations in the Chicago land area for you and your family or friends to explore and experience the paranormal all year long.

One being an Orland Park Historic Landmark and Senator's home and the other being a Joliet Historic Landmark Victorian Mansion. Both buildings dating back to the 1800's, both buildings part of their area's Historical Societies. Both buildings having been documented as being haunted by Investigation teams and presented as such in local newspapers and on the Internet.

The Scutt Mansion in Joliet IL, Since it was built in the 1800's, Two past owners have died at the mansion. At least two documented murders committed inside the mansion. Two children in the building next door found dead after a fire and one may be the little girl that at times makes it known that she is there.

Spirits tied to the rooms of Victorian Antiques from the furnished basement to the very top floor. A room lined with just dolls dating back to the 1800's looking at you as you enter the doll room. The Pipe Organ Dance Room. Orbs seen in total darkness without flash or lighting and what you feel from room to room, floor to floor and at times what individuals see and hear wandering the halls.

Senator John Humphrey house was built in 1881 and did remain in the family, until his youngest son turned it over to the Orland Park, IL Historical Society. The house was a home to Mr. Humphrey's many children and two wives. The house also was the home to the deaths of some and the wakes, as family members would be waked in the living room of the family home and among the living in the house.

From the upstairs children's playroom to the living room and at times the basement, Spirits have been felt and strange things caught on camera in Senator's Humphrey House, including what many feel is at times is Mr. Humphrey. The Humphrey Family also has a very strong tie to the famous haunted Bachelor's Grove Cemetery. Even some of the Historians wonder out loud if the first Mrs. Humphrey may be the Madonna of Bachelor's Grove Cemetery?

Both buildings, now homes to Spirits and paranormal activity, are now open for you and your group of family members and friends to explore and experience at night as a group, on a night the building of your choice is not booked. You will first receive a historical tour by the Historians of the building of your choice.

Then Edward Shanahan a Paranormal Spiritual Psychic Feeler will take you on a journey of the paranormal side of the haunted historic location that you desire to explore and experience. Also during the night, Mr. Shanahan will provide for those who bring items of their loved ones who have passed away (rings, watches, reading glasses etc..), he will attempt to do Conscious Channeling for you, to connect with the love ones. This is done as 'Reading In The Round' for all to hear and Mr. Shanahan has been doing this for four years in public and private settings, including Psychic Parties.

The night will end with a Seance performed by Mr. Shanahan and an attempt to make contact with what is possibly beyond the veil at either location or lurking around you.

Edward Shanahan has already been written about in two paranormal books for what he does with his abilities and two more books that are coming out in 2009 will also carry information about him and his finding with the paranormal side of the Chicago land area.

For more details on having an Entertaining Paranormal Night at either haunted historical landmarks or Psychic Party, for six to fourteen individuals, you can contact Edward Shanahan at his web site: http://edwardshanahan.com

More details on these two locations can be found along with if a group is something you cannot put together, the dates that these two locations are holding paranormal nights that are open to individuals who sign-up in advance, all the details are at: http://hauntedhistoriclocations.com/paranormal_events.html

Paranormal TV - is up and running 24/7

Hello Friends,

After much work, Paranormal TV from The Unexplained World is up and running 24/7 on the Internet with live broadcasts also coming soon. This is something that I had done on cable TV back in 2003 (before Paranormal was the thing to do on TV), in the Chicagoland area.

Go To: Paranormal TV 24/7

I have also added something I'm willing to do for those in the Spiritual / Paranormal field.
(A) - showcase your videos on the Paranormal channel.
(B) - showcase a link to your web site, and it runs at the bottom of the TV screen.
(C) - create a link to your site from our web page for Paranormal TV.

What you would do:
(a) - To get your video on the TV, e-mail me on where I can find it. Or up load it to You Tube to make it easier on both of us and e-mail the address. In exchange I ask that you either create a link to the web page of actually just put the TV on your web site (keeps people at your site as we have many shows already playing). I will also link to your site on the bottom of the screen.

(b) - To have a link to your web site running on the bottom of the screen, just host the TV screen on your web site and send me an e-mail of the web site address.

(c) - to have a link on our web page, all you have to do is create a TEXT link to our web page and have the link on your page say: Paranormal TV - 24/7.

It's all that easy and you can get the code to put on your site by just clicking on the {embed} that you will see at the bottom of the TV screen.

Well that is about it for now,

Enjoy!

(B) Explore and Experience
Haunted Archer Avenue - during the day.

Saturday April 25th, 1pm - 5:30 pm
Limited to just 12 individuals, it
becomes more of a personal experience.
Transportation bus provided.

Join the Worth Historical Museum and
me on this date, as we provide for you
a day to explore haunted locations along
Archer Ave.

As many of you know from the past
newsletters or the web sites, I have spent
my whole life in this area of the S.W. side
and in the area running from Archer Ave
in Summit right through Willow Springs
(the most spiritual and haunted area in
the Chicagoland area), and beyond.

We will take you to the locations others
do, but also locations I personally know
about and researched by living in the area,
what others have experienced in some of
the locations. Locations that are on The
Unexplained World web site and others
that I have not put up there.

This is the areas that I have been written
up in Paranormal Books about.

We will get out and explore many of the
locations and that is the reason why we
do it during the day, to allow you access.

Not only will you get the Paranormal
and Spiritual history and experience
presented by me, but also the historical
one about the area that will be provided by
Christine Brooks from the Worth Historical
Museum, who has years of involvement in
the History and Historical Societies of the
state of IL.

I also plan on having Jamie assist me on
this and possibly Michelle also, if she is
free.

For more details and photo of what seems
to be either a Spirit or Angel taken during
the day: visit
Haunted Historic Locations web site at:

``````````````````````````````````````````````

(C) Explore and Experience
Bachelor's Grove Cemetery and other
haunted locations during the day.

Sunday May 17th
1pm - 5:30 pm.
Limited to just 12 individuals, it
becomes more of a personal experience.
Transportation bus provided.

Join the Worth Historical Museum and
me on this date, as we provide for you
a day to explore Bachelor's Grove
Cemetery and other haunted locations,
like the location in Oak Lawn, that a
child has been seen during the day and
vanishes, and what could be the cause.

What is also provided on this day time
experience and done so by Christine
Brooks from the Worth Historical
Museum, plus this is unique as it is the
map of who was buried at what locations
in Bachelor's Grove Cemetery and you
will have this with you when you enter
the cemetery and you get to take it
home with you.

On this day time experience you will
learn the History both from a Historical
History and also a Paranormal History
of the locations we will visit.

Also on our web site for Haunted
Historic Locations, if you go to the
web page with the listings of these
dates and locations. At the top of
the page, you will see a link to the
photo I took during the day, of what
seems to be the Ghost House of
Bachelor's Grove Cemetery, that
others talk about and I just happen
to capture a photo of.

I will show you on this date, the
location that I was guided to point
the camera at and took the photo
while in the Cemetery, so you can
also try to capture the Ghost House
with your camera.

I also plan on having Jamie assist me
on this and possibly Michelle also, if
she is free.

For more details on the Bachelor's
Grove Cemetery and other locations
to explore and experience, go to our
web site at:

* Next Internet Radio Broadcast:
Readings for callers.

9pm central time to 10:30pm
(we are running a 1/2 hour longer
on this night).

At:
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/tuw
(you can go to the site now and set
a reminder for your self).

This has always been a popular
broadcast in the past, we only do
it twice a year and this is the start
of our 3rd year of doing it.

Annette will either do a Past Life
Reading for the caller or a Present
type of Reading (callers choice).

For the very first time on the broadcast
and for callers, I will also do a Psychic
Reading for a specific situation type of
question a caller may have.

So callers can have two readers per
call if they should desire it.

This is on Sunday January 11th at
9pm central time and just go to the
web site to hear the broadcast:
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/tuw
(you can go to the site now and set
a reminder for your self).

````````````````````````````````````````````

* Entertaining Psychic Parties.

Well I have taken a break since
Dec. 13th and the Readings kick
into full gear again starting next
week.

Right now I'm booked up until
the start of March as far as
dates go. You see by the dates
for the Public Psychic Reading
dates above, what weekend dates
I have booked already for readings
in March.

So all others are open starting in
March and beyond.

You can see on my personal web
site what is offered to each person
that is read and I also do my
Conscious Channeling with items
of your love ones who have passed
away and it is something special if
it just family having the Psychic
Party and is a honor for me to assist
the family.

Also what I offer to do for Psychic
Parties and the choice of the host
(who gets a free reading), is posted
on the web site.

And also I do travel, most of my
readings have been on the North
and N.W. side and suburbs, so
traveling is not a problem.

So if your looking for an Entertaining
Psychic Party (also if you desire two
Readers, that can be arranged), by me,
feel free to go to my personal web site
at:
http://edwardshanahan.com
```````````````````````````````````````````
```````````````````````````````````````````

* Those assisting me at Paranormal
Locations and are Spiritual Feelers.

I have added two individuals, many
know from last month's newsletter
that I have added Michelle, who is
a Spiritual Feeler and at times sees
Spirits.

Jamie also will become part of those
who assist me, she will be starting
soon and I look forward to working
with her.

Mercedes is still on the list of those
who assist, but her abilities to do
so has been limited.

Amy will always have an open door.

Jenelle will be part of those who are
invited to do Psychic Readings and
Psychic Parties. I had her involved
majority of the time in 2008 with the
paranormal stuff, and when she is
ready to get involved in it again,
the door is open.

Also at times I will be looking for
a Paranormal Team to be involved
or one who is an Investigator and
has the tools. I already have the
LAPS team who are pretty local,
but I know they can't always be
involved.

So if your an Individual Investigator
and have tools or are a Team that
has tools and are local, I would
be interested in talking with you
and seeing if there may be an
interest on your part. Also those
who have a Ghost Box, feel free
to contact me.

* Article by Edward Shanahan

A Soul's Pre-Life

Well it was one of those vivid dream nights
again or a message received (you decide).
But for me it was like being a witness to
the creation of pre-life. It has been said
that before we are any type of life form,
like as being just a soul, we choose our
parents, and we choose our life purpose and
what makes us up, like personality, color etc.

Well the vivid dream was that of, I guess
you could call it 'a soul', and this soul
was descending down what appeared to be a
tunnel of light. But this soul would stop
every few seconds and it was looking at
what appeared to be a shelf.

One shelf would have life hardships, and
the soul only had two seconds to make a
choice of what hardships it would choose
before descending down to a life form.
Then it would move onto another shelf below
the last, and then also have a two second
choice of lets say the type of loves it would
encounter, and this went on through different
descending levels until the soul was conceived
by it's chosen parents.

The soul was given many choices on each
shelf, but only had like I said, two seconds
to decide on the things in life it could count
on for sure, and these things were like it's
foundation for the life it would face and the
length of that life. The soul then only had
those things to create a life on and it is up
to that soul, on what degree it would do so.

Also there was something like a message,
like the type you see at the end of a movie
(the credits), that explained that even though
the souls had free choice, their whole life was
not mapped out for them, that this was just
a foundation to work with.

Those that did not choose from the shelves
(kind of like not making up their mind on
choices or decided not to pick any thing
from the shelves), would not live long or
becomes a miscarriage and at a later time,
that soul would be given another chance
to make it's choices.

Blessings,

Edward Shanahan

Chicago Dates: Psychic Readings and Paranormal in Chicago area

Hello Friends,

Because of the interest in having readings done, and my
schedule until November does not allow me to schedule
private readings at this time. I would like to give you two
public locations I will be doing readings at:

Friday November 12th - 8pm to 1am.
The Weather Mark - 1503 S. Michigan Ave, Chicago. IL
(this is right outside of Downtown Chicago).

It's my 2nd year of doing readings there for their special
events. Annette my co-host of The Unexplained World
will be joining me. She does past lives readings and
Tarot.

The event and party is called 'A Full Moon and Back to
Collage party'. Readings fee to the reader of your choice
is a gift offering on $20.

The Weather Mark has great food and great people that
attend this location.

Keep your eyes on the Chicago Tribune (either there Red
Eye' newspaper or the Friday weekend pull-out section of
the Tribune, as I was told there will be a write-up on it
in there.
~~~~~

Saturday October 25th,
The Worth Historical Museum at:
11500 S. Beloit, Worth, IL.
(just west of Harlem Ave at 115th Street)
details at and under Oct. 25th- All Hallow Eve>
http://hauntedhistoriclocations.com
Fee of a gift offering of $10 per reader of your
choice.

Four Readers -
Annette - doing Past Lives and Tarot Readings
(she is my co-host on The Unexplained World
radio broadcast) - 20 years of readings experience.
.
Ronda - doing Multi Tarot card readings (you may
of seen here at one of the Psychic Readings nights
in the S.W. Suburbs).

Jenelle (Jay), Runes readings, she has participated
in some of the haunted locations with me and will be
also joining us later in the night for the Paranormal
location we will be at.

Ed Shanahan - that's me and I will be offering all my
readings I do. For more details, visit my web site:
http://edwardshanahan.com
~~~~~~~

As I mentioned, I'm booked with House Parties and
the paranormal locations with the Historical offerings,
along with the events mentioned above.

That is why if your interested in a personal reading,
you can visit one of the two locations above.

At the haunted locations, those that allow us indoor
access, I have been known to do free readings, matter
of fact when Ursula Bielski and I bring a group to the
Senator Humphrey House - all present receive free
readings - and is done 'In The Round' - meaning that
the readings if the one being read agrees, are done
out-loud for all to hear. This is great when families
are present and they bring items for the Conscious
Channeling readings. The 'In The Round' readings
are also becoming popular with House Parties, as
it puts me right out there when a reading is being
done.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
