The Haunting of Hull-House

Get ready for spooky season with Jane Addams Hull-House Museum! 🎃

Since its inception, the Hull-House Settlement was at the center of urban legends and supernatural stories, as Chicago’s neighborhoods kept alive whispers about its supposed unearthly inhabitants. Today, Hull-House is a favorite stop on Chicago ghost tours and it is often hailed as one of the most haunted places in the country!

While spooky and fun, these stories stem from important conversations about beliefs and the collective consciousness of the Hull-House neighborhood. Join Hull-House Educators via Zoom as they discuss two of the most popular figures in these stories – the infamous Devil Baby and the Lady in White. Educators will share the paranormal tales, their origins, and the neighborhood's reactions during the progressive era. Participants will also get the chance to share their own hometown ghosts stories or urban legends and the implications behind them.
