Hi! Just found this site. I am a Paranormal Investigator. My Team & I help home/business owners who are haunted. Our Team works thru out the Midwest States (IL., IN, WI, Iowa, MI, KY, etc.)
You would be amazed on how many people have problems with paranormal activity. Most houses look/feel normal on the outside… but, inside is completely different!
Feel free to check our website: ripmidwest.com R.I.P. has field excursions, activites & classes for those interested in ghosts.

ARE YOU SURE WHERE THE MANSION IS? ARE YOU SURE IT’S CHICAGO AND NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STATE AND THAT THE MOTHER AND DAUGHTER WEREN’T KILLED IN A HOUSE FIRE? THEN THE FATHER MIGHT HAVE COMMITTED SUICIDE. BUT SURVIVING IS THE YOUNGER DAUGHER THAT WILL NOT SELL. IT WAS MY DREAM HOUSE AS A CHILD.

I used to live in IL. in a town called Danville. Across the street, the was a little white abandon house. Even though we were little, my brother and i used to see strange things through the windows. We moved to SC in 2004. But, when we visit, that house still gives me the creeps.

This house is on mayflower road in Lake Forest Illinois, close by where I live. I believe this may be a picture of it. I am not 100% sure so dont get mad..http://www.gazebonews.com/.a/6a00e5522fd0ca88340105368ac8f6970b-800wi

More info:This English Tudor mansion was purchased as a wedding gift for Laura Shedd and Charles Schweppe, the mansion has 20 bedrooms and 18 bathrooms.

When Laura Schweppe died in 1937 at the age of 58 she had a fortune of over $10 million dollars of which only $200k was left to her husband the rest went to her children. With Charles disappointment in this and him being 60 years old, he started to have trouble sleeping and his mental health started to deteriorate. In 1941 his servants found him dead in bed with a gun shot to the head, a note with “I`ve been awake all night. It`s terrible” was found on the dresser.

The mansion was then unoccupied for 46 years after his death. During this time there were rumors that the ghost of the family`s servant haunted the mansion`s hallways and kitchen area, while the ghosts of the owners haunt the bedrooms. It was said that one of the windows of the master bedroom never needed to be cleaned, while all the others collected dust over the years. After the 46 years of being abandoned the mansion was then purchased by a couple for over $5 million.
hope that helped
