Is the Country House restaurant haunted?  Pat and Rebecca explore a suburban Chicago restaurant with so many ghost stories they can barely fit in one episode. Joining them this episode is special guest host and listener-favorite Mondo as well as a feature interview from Neal and Steve from Graveside Paranormal. After listening to all the stories and investigations you decide – is the Country House restaurant haunted?

What is the history of the Country House? What are the most popular ghost stories? Which ghost stories have been shared by employees? What happened during a recent paranormal investigation? Do employees believe it is haunted? Do investigators believe it is haunted? Who is the woman in blue? Are there really strange, unexplained noises? Did the juke box really turn itself on? Is this restaurant haunted?

Listener mail is a ghost story about a doppelganger sister, but is she just a figment of the listener’s imagination? Have a spooky story or question of your own (or someone you know)? Send your story or question to [email protected] or leave a voicemail at 630-448-2138 and we might read or share it on the podcast. You could be on a future episode of Ghostly!

Listen to Rebecca tell a ghost story inspired by her research into the stories told about the Country House.

Instead of our traditional history, listen to an interview with Graveside Paranormal. Neal and Steve tell us all about the history of the restaurant, the stories told about it, and the results of their own investigation. Learn about their amazing spirit box then check out their investigation video (and many more videos) on YouTube

Rebecca has some strong evidence to debate. The group debate stories of a woman in the window, a haunted bathroom, a juke box that plays on its own, and shutters that all open at once. What will they rate each story?
