EVP's where captured, a Ghost Box was
used and more.

Capone's Haunted Building Is Back in Chicago area.

Capone's Haunted Building is Back

Edward Shanahan is happy to announce a location in the Chicagoland area that in the past he was able to get published in two paranormal books. A place that Shanahan would on a regular basis hold paranormal gatherings and explore and experience paranormal tours with large turnouts along with him doing Psychic Readings.

It is back and bigger then ever in Willow Springs, IL.

The new owner has added a large addition to the building, created a real cooking kitchen, created a whole new bar, made the place look new and great. It will be an Irish Pub and restaurant and is now owned by an Irish man who is a success in the restaurant business. Shanahan has been speaking to the Manager for awhile and also the owner. Shanahan is welcomed to be there and also bring those who are interested in the paranormal along with him.

Join Edward Shanahan

* Saturday August 1st - 7pm

The place used to be known as Rico D's and is across the street from the Willowbrook Ballroom in Willow Springs, and now it is totally different (yet the Spirits do remain in the building and woods), and now known as the:

' The Stag's Head'
at
8933 S. Archer Ave.
Willow Springs, IL

Come out around 7pm, enjoy some food and beverages, discussion about the history of the location. Shanahan will go around and let individuals know if they are a young or an old soul and a maybe a couple other things if he sees it. There will be no cost for him doing this, as Shanahan will not be giving full readings on this night.

Then individuals will venture in to the paranormal / spiritual side, at around 8pm. Bring your flashlights, cameras etc.. This will include the building also...

* * There is no cost for the paranormal explore and experience * *

Lisa who is a new Feeler working with Shanahan, will be joining him on this night as may some others.

So come on out, enjoy what is offered on the menu, and what will follow on our very first night back to this Historic Location.

Edward Shanahan has been given the title of 'a Spiritual Observer', in Chicago area suburban newspapers he has been called 'one of Chicago's most respected psychics'. Shanahan does Psychic Readings, Medium work and Channeling. Two books have included him in them and a third is planned for 2009.

Unique Chicago area Paranormal Photos by Edward Shanahan

What you are about to view, are images from the Chicago land area's S.W. Suburban haunted cemeteries, taken by me (Edward Shanahan), during the day and one of the reasons I was given the name 'a Spiritual Observer'.

As you will see they are unique, no flash etc.. being used and I still have the original images on the little photo card in the order they were taken in. I have been lucky to have lived my whole life since childhood within 5 to 15 minutes of the most haunted areas in the Chicago land area. From Resurrection Cemetery (Resurrection Mary), west to Willow Springs and home of Monks Castle. Drive South East to Bachelor's Grove Cemetery and back North East to the Miracle Child's location and then a bit further north to the parking lot of the child appearing running across it, and all the locations between those mentioned here.

I am not one to keep running back to a location to keep taking photos, the photos here are a one time pull out the camera and shoot at each of the locations mentioned here. Even though I have taken groups of people to the locations many of times, I have only pulled the camera out once in all the times I have been to the locations, and those are the times when I am alone and let my feelings direct me to the location I should point the camera at and take a photo. That is one of the reasons I feel that I have captured the unique photos from these locations.

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!

Hello Friends,

Scott Grossberg author of The Masks of Tarot - was our

Last night Annette, myself, Mercedes and Cathy gave Scott
freedom to do what he does best. He demonstrated his
abilities also without the use of tools.

He was amazing, and needless to say much was told about
us.. as we left him run with it.

Spirits - Idea / concept for this year and possibly in Indiana

Hello Friends,

In the past (about 4 years back), when I had
access to Ricco D's, what I would do, is take
a group of individuals either through Ricco D's
or back in the woods area and assist them
in opening up their ability to feel / sense
spirits, instead of just being a walk through
the woods.

I talked about this with Jenelle recently, in
the concept of her and I doing this together for
Individuals. As it worked well in the past when
I did it, and I've received some private e-mails
of interest in something like this and Jenelle
showed interest also.

The thing is, where could it be done? Then it
dawned on me, there is an area only 20 minutes
from the IL and IN border, right near the Indiana
Dunes, was Indian land in the past and an area
our Annette lives minutes from.

This area is also very spiritual and Annette has
told me that there is an area we would start at
that I have never been to in the past and it would
take us through this wooded spiritual location to
an area that is a burial ground.

But as I said, this I would not call a Ghost Tour,
even though paranormal activity has been experienced
at the one location that we will end up at on this
night. It will be more of an experience and one we
would assist you in opening up.

Besides Jenelle, I would also see if Michelle and
Jamie would be interested in joining us.

It would be done at night in the Spring or Summer,
Annette would be our Location Guide.

Let me know if something like this would interest
you. e-mail me from my web site:
http://edwardshanahan.com

Bits of this and that

Hello Friends,

Whew is about the best way to start this blog. I've been a
bit busy, Thanksgiving was the 1st weekend I did not
have something going on with either the paranormal stuff
or doing parties.

Since August I have been taking groups of individuals to
the haunted Scutt Mansion in Joliet, and working with
Historical Societies, involved with others on their tours
and the house parties. Already booked into January.
Busy but I enjoy it.

Ursula Bielski and I have already set some locations
for our Beyond The Veil, with the 1st one coming up
in January. Details will be known shortly.

This Sunday the 14th, is the start Annette's and my -
The Unexplained World - Internet radio broadcast. It will
also be a Holiday show. Details are already posted for the
show, I will pass it along here, later in the week.

Well that is it for now, and I leave you with this thought:
Remember it is rough out there for many people and their
families, some not knowing what tomorrow will bring them.

So for us who can help in some way, let's try and do so,
I have given and will probably do so again before the holiday
is over. It does not take much, to help those who need it,
and maybe the little bit will make a BIG difference for a
child.

Blessings and Happy Hauntings,

Edward Shanahan

Spirits of Christmas and Holidays Past

Spirits of Christmas and Holidays Past

One will always miss the loved ones of theirs who have passed away. The holidays can be emotional, as for some it is a time that many families gather together and yet there is that emotional feeling of the loved ones who have passed away not being there.

During the readings I do, along with my discussions that have to do with the Spiritual World, I talk about the Spirit of the loved ones who have passed away and the Spirit also missing not being involved or partaking in the family gatherings that at one time they did participate in.

Just because the love one is no longer in the living world, that does not mean their love for their living loved ones and family gatherings are gone. Usually it is stronger as the Spirit cannot be here in the living and are missing those still in the living world.

What I suggest to those who miss their love one who has passed away, is something that would be for both the Spirit and the living. First, I ask the person if they still have a photo of their loved one. Majority of the time the answer is yes, and usually the person says that they have a photo hanging up in their house.

It is great that the person has a photo of the loved one who passed away in their house. However, like the family gatherings and holidays, something a little special could be done, something that will show the Spirit of the loved one that they are still part of the holidays and family gatherings as in the past.

I suggest that the person takes the photo of their love one into the main room that the family gathers in during the holiday. Some individuals tell me that they have a photo of their love one already in that room. If that is the case, I tell them that is fine, but to take the photo and move it to another area in the room.

When the person either brings a photo into the room of the family gathering or moves the photo to another area in the room, it actually is a way of focusing on the loved one who passed away and this is a way of connecting to the Spirit. It also is a way for the Spirit to know that they are still part of the holiday family gatherings. The Spirit of holidays past is still part of the present and the love is shown to the Spirit and in return, felt by the living.

through, it will not be happening.

My - The Unexplained World paranormal dates,

transportation, limited to amount of people
involved also.

October is a unique location, as it is a haunted
building we will be visiting, and like the Humphrey
House, I will be the 1st to make it known to the
general public. It is a location many men do not
like being in at night, and that is what we will
be doing, being there at night. LAPS Investigation

be participating at is also listed.

November is a different combination of locations
and December I will go totally on the Spiritual

remembered are made of.

For these new dates and locations, I have teamed

New 'News' from The Unexplained World

Hello Friends,

I'm happy to announce that after a conversation
with an individual who I was impressed by her
ability as a Spirit Feeler, something she basically
kept to her self and yet she could not hide it.

Also add that to the fact she is part of an
Investigation Group and has experience with that
also. I'm happy to say that Mercedes will be part
of our Inner Circle for The Unexplained World and
joining with me on our upcoming The Unexplained
World paranormal locations.

The reason for this is she adds to the strength
of the Circle of Energy, as proven at the Axe
Murder House (I've done the circle for three years
now and I know when the rare opportunity of
having a strong feeler on my left side is present).

Mercedes has also been invited to join Annette
and I on our broadcasts, and she will be back on
a week from this Sunday, (next show the 18th),
as we pick up with part two of our discussion
with Mr. David Kump.

Part one can be heard here - comes on when
you get to the web page:
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/tuw
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also as mentioned in the past, the Investigation
team of LAPS is one I highly recommend after
seeing them at work (and only way I will
recommend an Investigation team), and will be
speakers with me on Thurs night July 10th, at
the Burbank Pk. district for the 'Welcome to
The Unexplained World' night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There may be another one or two individuals
I add to our Inner Circle of The Unexplained
World, that will be made known in the future.

Right now our The Unexplained World, inner
circle consists of:

Edward Shanahan (Spiritual Observer / Reader)
High Priestess Annette (co-founders)

Inner Circle Members:
Amy (Psychic Feeler)
David Kump (UFO's and such)
Mercedes (Paranormal Feeler)
Steve Hyzny
Bill
Donna / Mark (Paranormal)

Our paranormal web site is located at:
http://theunexplainedworld.com

Our Yahoo group is:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/unexplained_world
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am working on dates and locations
for The Unexplained World in the future,
it is something I want to do the way I have
it planned in my mind and just working with
crossing the t's and dotting the i's to make
sure there are no surprises for me once it
is set. Details soon will be following and
there should be things you enjoy with what
I'm planning for The Unexplained World.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also let me say, if any group of individuals
outside of the Chicago land area (meaning
like Wisconsin), etc.. would be interested in
having me out and possibly Mercedes and
others in the inner circle, feel free to contact
me and I will see if it is possible.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Beyond the Veil trips are a creation of
Ursula Bielski and my self and different
from my The Unexplained World paranormal
outings and her Chicago Hauntings Tours.

The next couple of Beyond The Veil
locations will be:

Ashmore Estates in Ashmore, IL.
over nighter starting on June 21st.

Ashmore Estates is a three-storey building
that was built in 1916. It has housed people
who were indigent and those who had mental
disabilities. From 1916 to around 1956 the
building was the Coles County Almshouse
located on the 200-300 acre Coles County
Poor Farm.

During that period as many as 100 people
died in the building. From 1956 to 1976 it
housed the "mentally impaired" as a
mental institution. In 1976 Paul Swinford
purchased the building and reworked it to
be used as a ICFDD (Intermediate Care
Facility for the Developmentally Disabled).
The building remained in use until 1987
when it was closed due to lack of funding.
9 paranormal groups have visited here since
July 2006. All have said the building is very
active."
--from the Ashmore Estates website.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The Humphrey House - Orland, Pk. IL
Saturday July 26th. - 6pm start.

The home of Senator and Mrs. John Humphrey,
the couple lived in this Orland Park home
until their first child died at birth.

The infant girl was buried at nearby
Bachelors Grove, one of the most haunted
cemeteries in the world. When Mrs. Humphrey
was found dead in the house soon after,
extraordinary events at both the home and
the cemetery began, leading even the home's
caretakers to wonder whether the famed
"Madonna of Bachelors Grove"--one of
Chicago's most infamous phantoms--is,
in fact, the shade of Mrs. Humphrey bearing
her lost child.

More details and reserving for either Beyond the
Veil nights, can be found at:
http://www.chicagohauntings.com/beyondtheveiltwo.html

or reserve by calling:
For reservations, call
888-GHOST-91
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Experiment - Are you interested in participating ?

As it states, this will be an experiment at no cost
or fee. Mr. David Kump will be running it (hear our
last broadcast).

What I need are a couple more feelers or sensitive's
to participate in my Circle of Energy and done for a
different reason other then picking up spirits. This
will be in the eve and we are looking at Saturday
June 14th.

It will be done very, very near the Indiana Dunes
and we will meet at Annette's house (details of
meeting location, once you commit to coming).

As I said this will be an experiment by request of
David Kump.

Just e-mail me if interested.

Happy Hauntings,
