Trying to talk to the dead is a tale as old as time; from 4th century Romans tying rings to strings, to 5th century Chinese writing in sand. But it was two young girls barely into adolescence that sparked the modern Spiritualism craze. We've got Harry Houdini, a toilet goddess (yes), lots of men claiming they invented the Ouija board, and Hollywood's influence over all of it.

Jane Addams opened Hull-House in 1889 with a mission to help Chicago’s immigrant communities. There were stories of ghosts to begin with, but nothing caused more chaos than the legend of a demonic baby supposedly hidden inside. Thousands came looking for a child that Addams insisted never existed, and decades later the story inspired the horror classic "Rosemary's Baby." More than a century later, the history and hauntings of Hull-House remain tangled together in one of Chicago’s strangest stories.   For ad-free and bonus episodes: Subscribe on Apple Podcasts -OR- Subscribe on YouTube -OR- Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/horrorwoodpodcast   Follow us!
