Information on Indiana Ghost Trackers |
There are a number of places that make the claim of being the "most
haunted". We've all heard of New York's Amityville House, the Tower
of London and Maryland's Blair Witch. But based on what Doug found
with the Indiana Ghost Trackers, Chicago must come out far ahead of
all the others! The "Trackers" gave Doug a real scare in "Death Alley"
behind the Oriental Theatre and at Excalibur nightclub!

Information on Ahlgrim & Sons Funeral Parlor & Mini-Golf |
Michelle heads to the suburbs to check out a bizarre funeral parlor-when there's no funeral you can play miniature golf in the basement! Not for the easily spooked, this course has spirit like no other! The silly, tongue-in-cheek hole designs include a skull and bones, a graveyard with tiny headstones with names of each funeral employee, a haunted house, a castle with a guillotine entrance, and, yes, a coffin on Hole No. 2!
