What better way to celebrate spooky season than with two real haunted houses as told by those who lived it. First, we visit Northwest Chicago where in 1970, Ed and Marsha Becker bought a two-flat apartment to start their family. What they found instead was decades of tragedy, strange chills, objects moving on their own, and an unseen presence that grew stronger with every month they stayed. From floating kitchen appliances to a failed exorcism captured on film, this true story — later known as “The Haunting in Wicker Park” — remains one of America’s most chilling hauntings. Then, we step inside 21 St. Helens Avenue, a quiet Baltimore home with a violent history. Built in 1915, the house witnessed a string of deaths, tragedies, and unexplained phenomena long before Sean Paul Murphy’s family moved in. What began as flickering lights and misplaced objects soon escalated into shadowy figures, mimicked voices, and a darkness that seemed to press in on its residents.
