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.

You may want to consider something unique for your Psychic Party or Haunted Get Together with friends. A 1800's Victorian Mansion in Joliet, IL that Paranormal Investigation Teams have documented as being haunted. A location that has seen two past owners die, two murders and is next door to a building that two children died in during a fire.

Also let's not forget the energy from years past left on the antique items throughout the Victorian Mansion and no one forgets the Doll Room after they have entered it, a room that is lined along the walls with dolls from as far back as the 1800's, looking at all who enter the room or the Dance Room with Pipe Organ, the last owner was found dead in the hallway outside of this room.

A location that Chicago area Entertaining Psychic Reader, Channeler and Paranormal Spirit Feeler Edward Shanahan was drawn to and has become a regular location that he provides for individuals to explore and experience along with holding Public Readings at.

In co-operation with the board of directors of the Joliet Victorian Mansion and Museum, named the Scutt Mansion, Edward Shanahan can provide those interested, the opportunity of having their Psychic Party or Haunted Get Together with friends at the mansion and includes Edward Shanahan doing readings (see below), for a fee that is equal to the per-person cost that some Readers charge for doing Psychic Parties at an individual's home.

Produced in 2003 and 2004 the Chicago area cable TV show 'The Unexplained World'.

Personal Psychic Readings / Conscious Channeling / A Paranormal Spiritual Observer / Haunted Locations / Entertaining Psychic House Parties / Readings In The Round.

More people are having Ed Shanahan for Entertaining Psychic House Parties! From Allison in April 2009 - Thank you Ed. We had a great time, you were a big hit!

As he Reads all those present and Channels with all involved with what he calls his Readings in the Round and it has become an entertaining part of his Psychic House Parties. He has also done it on stage at night clubs. Also as other Psychics do at house parties, Ed will do private readings or combination of both Psychic Readings in the Round and Private Readings.

Type of Psychic Readings by Edward Shanahan:
He starts with doing a Palm Reading and goes as far as even telling the individual if they are an old soul or young soul and explains the difference. He then goes to Personal Psychometry Readings, this is when he puts the individual's hand between both of his hands and he attempts to tap into their energy and connect with the inner child inside the individual, to describe the individual and what may be going on with them, including their past, present and future. This is also best for personal answers by way of the One on One Psychometry.

Then if individuals bring items of a loved one who has passed away, Edward will do Spiritual Conscious Channeling, and that is a reading done with items of a love one who has passed away. So if you attend a location he is doing readings at, bring items of a loved one who has passed away with you. Edward recommends items like rings, watches, glasses etc.. stuff that they would of wore and picked up their energy.

Below you will find a letter Edward received from an individual who was at one of the Paranormal Nights Edward hosted at the Haunted Joliet Mansion. On this night, Edward did his "Circle Of Energy" in the Doll Room.

Letter as received from Wayne:
Hi Ed,
I sure thought that my message went thru to u, but according to my sent box, it never made it, so I'll try again. When I agreed to go along to the mansion in Joliet, I figured at best it would be an historic adventure. I was a paranormal virgin if u will. Then I got upstairs to the "doll" room where there was already something going on. I went to the west end of the room and my right arm got extremely cold. Only the right arm. I tried rubbing it and putting my coat on to no luck.

Then came the overwhelming sensation to get the hell outta that room and now! At that point I had no idea why I was leaving, only that I needed to go. I did not want to return to that room, but I did. Once again the same chill and the same desire to get out. When the Circle came, things got stronger for me. Cold and the sense of being messed with. 1/2 of the ride home, my wife's friend (who was also in the circle) and I were really sick to our stomachs. Like having too much to drink and wanting to get sick. I was also detached for a New York minute. Once that passed then I trying to fight staying awake. Never felt like that. It was as if I didn't sleep for a week. I fell asleep hard and woke up the next morning just as tired and felt scrambled. The whole day I felt like I was standing on one foot. I told this to Candy and now I would be honored if u could take the time to tell me what u think.

I would like to see u again sometime when u r doing readings. I don't belong to Kenosha Paranormal so I do not know if I am able to attend the next time u r in this area. Thank u once again for adding me and taking the time to read and respond to this.

Peace be with you.

Wayne

Ghost Box in use - video here / Haunted Chicago area mansion.

Hello Friends,

I just viewed a nicely done video by Chicago's Latin
American Paranormal Society (LAPS), and it is below
and also on my web sites.

I invited them out to the Haunted Joliet Scutt Mansion,
along with the Indiana paranormal group IGT and
before them Kenosha Paranormal managed by Candy.
As I wanted it confirmed that there was paranormal activity
at the location before I or Ursula Bielski and I would bring
groups out to the location.

What you will see below is the video put together by LAPS
(I've had them out to the location twice), their findings and
also our use of the Ghost Box that was given to Ursula
Bielski and that we bring with us on our Beyond the Veil
locations.

I've always said the Ghost Box is an interesting item, you
will see how it's used by us at the mansion and you'll hear
the responses. I never use it for any of my readings (nor
have it with me), nor to contact individuals loved ones, as
I've always state that it is an interesting item to use at a
location, but not an item I would tie one's emotions too.

For information on other locations we will be going to - like
the haunted Insane Asylum in Peoria IL, go to the web site -
Haunted Historic Locations
http://hauntedhistoriclocations.com

We also have a monthly newsletter we send out from
the web site to subscribers.

Happy Hauntings,

Hello Friends,

Locations newsletter at:

I posted the fact that a date has been set
for Beyond The Veil with Ms. Ursula Bielski
and me, to take individuals to the Haunted
Joliet Mansion - the Scutt Mansion.

I have not finished my web site pages yet,
to include our Beyond The Veil at the haunted
mansion, but Ursula has and the information
is below along with a link to the web page.

I wanted to inform you all, because there
is something we are doing incase you may be
interested in giving it as a Holiday Gift for
someone you know, including also your self,
and it may help you out if your interested.

Below is the information and the link to the
web page for more details.

Have a safe and great Holiday,

Edward Shanahan

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Beyond The Veil goes to the Haunted Joliet
Mansion - The Scutt Mansion and there is a
little bonus thrown in for those reading this
here, to assist you in maybe giving this as
a gift for the holidays for someone special
(including you).

Ms. Ursula Beilski (Chicago's top paranormal
author of 6 books), and my self - for the 1st
time will together take individuals for our
Beyond The Veil location experience - to the:
Haunted Joliet Mansion, The Scutt Mansion.

This will be Ursula's very first time at the
mansion.

You have seen me write about this location in
the past and I have taken groups there both during
the day and at night and at all times we have
reached the max amount of people allowed to
sign up.

This will be at night, on Saturday January 31st.

This will also be an opportunity for those present
to have their photos considered for publication in
Ursula Beilski's next book.

Also since your receiving information on this by
way of my posting it here and before I even have
it listed on the Haunted Historic Locations web
site (I wanted to inform you before Christmas
Gift Giving).

You can reserve your spots for the night of Jan. 31st,
with just 1/2 down in advance and the difference paid
in cash on the night of January 31st.

Also joining us will be - Michelle, who we talked to
on our recent Internet radio broadcast of The Unexplained
World (it is listed as our 3rd year and Holiday Special):
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/tuw

Michelle will be assisting me this night, she sees
Spirits at times and is a Feeler also. She talks
about it on the radio show above. Also she will
for her first time, be part of my Circle of Energy.
Also I'm hoping that Mercedes can join us on this
night.

Ursula will have her Ghost Box with us on this night.
This is the one that she and I have used at other
locations in the past with great results.

Also she will be assisting individuals with doing
an Investigation type of exploring at this location.

I will be offering 6-8 free Conscious Channeling
readings of items of loved one's who have passed
away, depending on time (remember it has to be
an item they wore often, like glasses, rings,
watch etc..).

Michelle and I will be wandering around the building
to assist those with our feelings and maybe Michelle
will see something. I also hope Mercedes will be able
to come out.

Also my Circle of Energy at the end of the night
and most likely in what I feel is a creepy room,
the doll room.

Again:
You can reserve your spots for the night of Jan. 31st,
with just 1/2 down in advance and the difference paid
in cash on the night of January 31st.

** Remember to mention your putting 1/2 down and

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
