Our guide, Candace, shared stories of Jane Addams, the social reformer who founded Hull House in 1889, and the many people whose lives passed through its doors. One of the most chilling tales was that of the Lady in White, a spirit said to appear in the upstairs windows or drift through the halls late at night. Some say she was a resident who died tragically in the early 1900s, while others believe she’s a symbol of the many souls who once found refuge within these walls.
Standing in those rooms, it was easy to imagine the whispers of the past lingering in the air. Whether or not you believe in ghosts, the Hull House tour had something for everyone: a fascinating mix of history, mystery, and the supernatural. It was a fantastic experience that blended storytelling and real history, leaving shivers up and down our spines.
