See Poster Above

Huge 44,000 sq ft. paranormal active building built in 1938 with
3 floors. Each floor is like a maze of hallways and rooms. It is
the home to friendly spirits.and the paranormal activity others
have experienced. The largest haunted location in Chicago that
you can explore.

Located at 3400 S. Emerald Ave; Chicago, IL
( 1 block North of the White Sox baseball field)

A Supernatural night and explore and experience the building
and Spirits. Built in 1938. It is home to the friendly spirits of the
past as experienced by others.

In Oct. 2012 Edward Shanahan and a group of individuals held
a paranormal night at the location that was enjoyed by
everyone with great results.

* Read the comments section about the location.

Could it be Mr. Valentine? Spirits of those who cared for the building and
lived in the now empty (since the 1970's), apartment on the top floor? Or the
Spirits of those club members who enjoyed the huge building and all it
offered throughout the years? Or the Spirits of those who worked at the club
in the past?

Comment from the 2012 Haunted Farm, IL Paranormal Night
From Sergio A. - "That ending part hit the spot Ed, as I was not even part of the seance and you
managed to get a hold of the one person who've I've lost out of the 3 who was older than me. Not
only that, but you said EXACTLY what she always used to tell me alot over the phone. Quote, end
quote. Like if it was her telling me again. Nice to know she is close by, as I once in a while think
and wonder if she is watching or not. That one hit home".

An interesting evening, thanks again!"

Comment from the 2012 Haunted Farm, IL Paranormal Night
From Betty E. - "Ed, I can;t tell you how much I appreciated that. Really there was no one outside
of my family that would have even guessed about what you hit on. I also know my mom and that is
what she would have referenced to make sure i knew it came from her and not just a general
reference. Thank you so much for that"!

Comment from the 2012 Haunted Farm, IL Paranormal Night
From Jane S. - "I want to thank you so much for doing that at the end of the energy circle it meant
a lot to me and 2 others that you would still have the strength to be able to do what you did by
giving us a message from our loved ones that they were standing near us. I still can't get that night
out of my head I had such a wonderful time".

Comment from the 2012 Paranormal Night at the Joliet Slated Lady
Diane S. wrote: "I can’t stop thinking about the evening at the Slated Lady. It was more to process
than I realized. Do you know if there are any results form the investigators posted anywhere on line
yet? Thank you for the experience. My mom hasn’t stopped talking about it, because it brought her
much peace. An interesting side note; when my mom asked about her grandson Jacob who is alive,
you asked if he had passed because you felt a Jacob on the other side. We didn’t think much of it
then, but the next day she felt the presence around of her brother Jacob who had passed".

Comment from 2012 Paranormal Night at Valentine's Chicago Boys and Girls Club
Jane S. wrote: "It was a fantastic night. Thanks so much to Paul and Lisa Smith our new friends who
also brought so much to the entire evening, the girls at the front desk that shared their comfy chairs
with me and let Tim buy as many chocolate bars as he wanted. All for a good cause.

The seance was by far the best most active I have ever experienced. My legs are feeling the effects
today of covering 44,000 square feet of pure thrill and excitement. Thank you ED for a Wondeful
Paranormal Evening. Can't wait for the next time. WE HAD A BLAST"

Comment from 2011 Paranormal Night at Valentine's Chicago Boys and Girls Club
Jane S. wrote: "Unreal! We loved being able to go on our own, we got a lil lost (44,000 sq feet
building), and it was dark. We had flashlights and wound up where Tim thought one of the groups
was. He heard voices and a light go on and off.

We headed into the boiler room and he stopped dead in his tracks. The hair on his arm was standing
straight up and no one was in that room. I was terrified. We found our way out and I told him I'd go
back if someone would go with us. We found two guys but the activity had subsided. We four went to
the weight room and we got a 100 lb punching bag start to move back and forth by itself by asking it
to. There is so much more.

It was awsome. One guy had downloaded an app on his phone called ghost radar. It did different
things. He had it on ghost box where words would appear. There was six of us in the arts and crafts
room. It said wave and flowers. We laughed looking around for flowers and we all waved. Then he
shined his flashlight around the room and on the wall was a painting of flowers and a huge wave.
We were stunned! "

Comment from 2011 Paranormal Night at The Slated Lady
Frank H. wrote: "The Palmer House, private residence, not the hotel, was a highly active location.
Sitting in the direct line between two church steeples and on limestone bedrock just inches beneath
the foundation, it has been in the family since the 1880's. We saw and captured shadow masses and
figures on tape. Both Nicole Shanahan and I saw white lights shooting through the stairway. For
the first time, Len's static electricity lights were flickering like Christmas lights. Even the antique
furniture and items held EMFs, particularly a set of silverware. But then, during the Circle of
Energy, all the energy left those and seemed to concentrate on Edward Shanahan, almost dragging
him into a channeling trance. It was an very interesting evening and, hopefully, we will have a
chance to bring the entire team out for a full investigation."

Comment from 2011 Paranormal Night at the Camp Grant Museum
Jane wrote: "I had had to leave the circle. Thank you for getting me out of there. I just could not
breath. Within 5 min. I was feeling very drained but back to normal. I have to tell you this, when
you were doing the reading on my mother's necklace and my grandmother came through. Before
I left for Camp Grant Saturday night I had asked my mom to send a message to me for my daughter
who I thought needed to get a message. So I was a little disappointed. I had not shared this with
anyone!

So anyway the next evening my daughter called and said she had a dream about my mom that
seemed so very real. She said my mom was trying to connect with her and she was telling
everyone in her dream to be quiet because she couldn't hear what her grandmother was trying to
tell her. I almost dropped the phone. I told her how I asked my mom to come thru Saturday night,
to leave a message for Marlayna (My daughter).

So we both realized that my mother did come through for her just not in the way I thought she
would when I had Ed do my reading. She connected to her directly in her dream. She told me she
could not understand what her Grandmother was trying to tell her. Luckily I had that conversation
with my mom asking her to let my daughter know that she was aware of her new marriage and a
new home and all of the things she had accomplished. We were both blown away on how things
turned out the way they were suppose to. Remember my Grandma showed up in my reading,
because my mom was busy trying to connect with my daughter. I knew you would appreciate the
irony of it all."

Comment from Paranormal Night at The Tinker Swiss Cottage in
Rockford, IL.
TO ED SHANAHAN:
" I know you were so exhausted last night thanks for hanging in there. Enjoyed the whole nite. That
was the first time I saw things in my head during the seance. Also enjoyed some of the girls that let
me join them while they got their flashlight and emf gadget to work down in the basement and the
upstairs bedroom. Don't remember their names but want to thank them for including me in their
investigation. It was a real treat. I must be getting old. I could hardly move this morning I was so
tired. It was Just a GREAT night! Thanks"

Comment from 2010 Paranormal Night at the Willow Creek Farm in Shannon, IL
First, I would like to say Thank you for such an interesting evening at the Willow Creek Farm. My
daughter Sara & I were totally intrigued and thoroughly enjoyed our experiences. The memories of
that evening will certainly stay with us for quite some time. I will never forget seeing the black
shadow of Dr Graham as he came down the staircase, and stood at the threshold of the staircase
door. I was sure at any moment all hell would break loose. WOW ! Sara is still intrigued as to how
she felt the numbness in her hands and the feeling of her wrists being tied when up in "Robbies"
room with you conducting a mini seance. She learned that ghost hunting is not about walking from
room to room asking for a sign, but rather sitting in the room and communicating with the spirits in
a respectful way, We will leave the provoking of spirits like Dr Graham to you !! Edward, you
certainly very impressive on many different levels. We appreciate the manor in which the whole
evening was conducted. What you did not know was that after the seance, we went to the barn with
the Franks Box and had interesting communication. I do not think I will ever have an experience that
will top the evening at Willow Creek Farm. Thank you for offering the event, and look forward to
participating in an event in the future...

Comment from Paranormal Night at the Willow Creek Farm in Shannon, IL
I was at Willow Creek Farm last Saturday night, with my son.I had at least four, maybe five personal
experiences there. I have not completely reviewed pictures or audio yet. I feel it is the best place Ed
has taken us to. It was an interesting night, one I won`t soon forget!

Comment from Paranormal Night at the Willow Creek Farm in Shannon, IL
Ed, thanks so much for giving us the opportunity to investigate the Willow Creek Farm! It was
without a doubt one of our best investigations so far! You are truly a gifted person and I don't think
any of us will ever forget our night with you at the farm! As for the séance, what else can I say but
WOW!! That was the most amazing part of the night and I look forward to joining your circle again!

Comment from Paranormal Night at the Willow Creek Farm in Shannon, IL
Hello Ed, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for such a wonderful night of investigating.
I particularly enjoyed the seance portion of the night! I was the person who had the personal items
from my mother, Shirley. Saturday was my first investigation and I look forward to more in the
future. Sincerely, Susanne Woods

Comment from Private Paranormal Night at The Stag's Head in Willow Springs, IL " The
séance was very interesting! We got some EMF readings, the dowsing rods were very active and two
of the people in our group had some pretty intense feelings / experiences. I personally experienced
something in the back staircase and heard a breath while standing there alone. Jennifer had some
pretty intense feelings in the upstairs closet and we had a chance to do a short EVP session in one
of the bathrooms. During that time we were getting good EMF readings and it did feel as though
we weren't alone."

Comment from Private Paranormal Night at The Stag's Head in Willow Springs, IL "Had a
great time last night at Stag's Head, Ed! I'm still in a bit in shock by the overwhelming feeling I had
in the closet of that last room. I couldn't control the strong physical and emotional feeling I had! ....
The first thing I did when I got home was grab my dog and check my bedroom closet!!" ..................

Comment from Private Paranormal Night and Seance at the haunted: The Stag's Head
in Willow Springs, IL "WOW is all I can say and to hell with attics (seance area). NO MORE attics
for me. Lex did not tell me while we were at the (seance), table but their was an orb on my left
shoulder the WHOLE TIME, hence the reason I felt like I was gonna pass out the whole time and
like someone was sucking the energy out of me the entire time." Renee Jahnke

Great experience..thanks!" Laura from SNAPIT (SuperNatural and Paranormal Investigation Team)

in Willow Springs, IL "Thank you as well for giving us the opportunity to experience what we did on
Saturday.  We're all still talking about it.  I think everyone in the group was very intrigued and we
are all looing to get together and accompany you on some of your future tours, although none of us
think that we're "brave" enough to do an overnighter, just yet.  LOL! " Claudi * Below you will find

Comment from Paranormal Night and Seance at the haunted: The Stag's Head in ......
Willow Springs, IL "Hello Edward, I was the girl sitting to your left at the seance. First of all, I had
an incredible evening. I mentioned to you after the seance that I organize tours in my town of
Rockford, Illinois. I have also traveled the country visiting haunted sites from St. Augustine to the
Whaley house in San Diego. I also need to mention that I have had "feelings" at some of these sites,
you know where the hairs stand up on the back of your neck? But really haven't had any experiences
to write about.....
..
I can say with all honestly .. I got a little more than that. I am not sure if that night was just an
ordinary night for you. Do you usually get such a strong response? ...................................................
I want to repeat again that I have never experienced anything like this in my 10 years of traveling
to haunted places, working with psychics, and researching people's stories.

I am awed by this experience and even though I .work with a couple of psychics who I feel are
legitimate,.I was very impressed by your ability. I also hope that I might be able to communicate
with.you to help me.understand what happened to me. I could feel the power of that group and
maybe it was.just a fluke thing and it will never happen again. Or maybe you helped me tap into
something that didn't even knew existed with in me.

Of course it would be my luck to tap into a man like the one last night. I couldn't have contacted
some little old lady who knitted.

Thank you so much for an incredible evening. I am sure I will be attending more events in the
future..Maybe you could visit somewhere a little tamer next time? (I am only half serious) ".

Sincerely, Kathi Kresol ( the above post is a portion of the whole letter )
