LQQk what i found.....Carus Mansion Rumor has it that one of the big mansions by Carus Chemical is occupied by "guests". Rumors about ghosts in this local landmark have been flying around for years and years. Luckily, there is a tour of the place that is offered, and I plan to be on it soon... Hegeler Carus Mansion Tours 1307 7th street LaSalle. Illinois Hours Wednesday, Thursday, Friday: 12, 1, 2 & 3 pm Saturday: 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3 & 4 pm Sunday: 12, 1, 2, 3 & 4 pm Admission is $5 for adults, and $3.50 for seniors & youths. Special group rates are available with prior reservations. A reader, Tracy, wrote: I live in Utica, so I know all that goes on around here when it comes to ghosts. I have a picture of the Carus Mansion, and I've talked with some family members that my older sister went to school with. "Old Man" Carus is said to appear in one of the upstairs windows of the Mansion on a full moon. At the stroke of midnight, it is said that he hangs himself. I've talked to people that have been on the tour, and not much goes on, but it is a great place to see. At night sometime, if you drive by really slow, your car will start to die right next to the family graveyard next to the mansion, and my mom told me that there's a ghost that walks around the graveyard every once in a while. hmmmmm... UPDATE: Through my "nurse grapevine" I have heard a story about a recent private duty nurse who worked at the Carus Mansion: she refuses to work there any longer because one evening when she was alone with her patient in the home, a voice screamed out from another room-- a name-- "Pat", if memory serves. The place was empty except for the two of them, and the elderly man she was caring for certainly wasn't the person yelling, so it seemed. (hopefully I will be able to get more on this) 2/27/01 A little more on the Carus Mansion: footsteps can be heard at night in the unused upper portion of the home, and moans are audible late at night. 10/11/02 Lena wrote: "The Carus Mansion story I totally believed, cuz I took the tour. I swear I could hear kids laughing, and felt like something was following me. Then for some odd reason, the people who had the tour, started like wigging out, and told us they had to end the tour for no reason. I kid you not. We were refunded for the day. I will never go back. " PLEASE don't go "ghost hunting" on these people's property; not only will you probably get arrested, but you might scare the poor man residing there half to death. If you are curious, please just take the tour... I hear they may be extending it to include more days soon. An employee of Hegler-Carus mansion recently wrote me letting me know that the home will be featured on the "Wild on Chicago" TV show this spring. She said the host kept asking about supernatural occurrences, which she maintains are all a bunch of hooey (my words, not hers). "Wild on Chicago" is on PBS, on Chicago affiliates No one who filled out the survey told me this one, but I'm including it here. The "Educators of Beauty" cosmetology school in Lasalle was once a flop-house hotel; As the story goes, a degenerate living there fell asleep with a cigarette and burned to death in his room. When a couple of my friends were attending the school 10 years ago, the teachers would talk about all of the odd things that have happened there, especially in the upstairs part of the building. "George" (I think that's what they nicknamed the ghost) would flip hairdryers on and off, as well as the lights. Once in awhile, one could smell stale cigarette smoke when no one else was around. The older teachers were afraid to be there alone at night, according to my friends...Sancho UTICA, ILLINOIS......Creepy Huh brrr Melissa Ill be back
