Category: 2. Bars & Restaurants


In October 2010 I lead a Chicago ghost tour from the city’s northside through Lake Forest. We visit the following haunted locations: Red Lion Pub, Biograph Theater, Dillinger’s alley, Montrose Cemetery, Bohemian National Cemetery, Barat College, Calvary Cemetery.

Red Lion Ghost Pictures

Story/Question: How are you? Mrs.Ursula Bielski recommended your website to me.
Have some great stills from my digital camcorder, and an actual apparitions (Head) about 9 frames worth This footage was taken at The Red Lion Pub an entity noticed me there an chose to only appear on my equipment, unfortunately this pub will be torn down by December and rebuilt, (warned owner and made a suggestion if he wants to calm the nerves of one of the entities) otherwise renting out the second and third floors to college students etc,…might end up being more than they bargained for…

Write back let me know what you think:My next hunt is the Country House Restaurant in Cleradon Hills tonight will visit and see if we are allowed to run my dvd camcorder and even take pictures, personally prefer camcorders…
Thank You, Mike

Response from Scott Markus: Thanks for contacting me. I’d love to see what you’ve captured – either video or still frames taken from the video. As you may have noticed when you were there, the Red Lion is in bad need of structural repair. I was there in October and noticed how badly warped the floor was. I don’t know if they have much choice. How will this have an impact on the haunting? Only time will tell. Whatever the case, it will be interesting to observe.

Please do get back to me to let me know how the hunt at the Country House Restaurant!

Reply: Let me know when you wish to view the contents of my camcorder have not erased anything and not plan on doing so… Need someone to give me permission to do a hunt at the country house restaurant if you could help that would be great!

Slim Pictures reply: If you’re running a Windows-cased computer, I’m sure it’s easy to import your video footage and then create still frames from the raw footage. With an Apple computer, I know it’s easy – simply use iMovie. As for the Country House, I would just give them a call. At this point, I’m sure they’re used to it and they don’t seem to shy away from their ghostly reputation.
