Ghosts of Chicago Ebook

Well, I finally did it - here's my Chicago ghosts book. I'm afraid it's gonna tick people off, because I poke a lot of popular stories full of holes. But I really wanted to clear up some of the misconceptions that go around, I tried not to be a jerk about it, and I came up with plenty of cool new information. If you're gonna hunt for ghosts, there's no point wasting your time looking for stuff where the story doesn't hold up, right?
