Edward Shanahan, a Paranormal Spirit Observer, Medium and Psychic Reader, in coop­er­a­tion with the Historic Scutt Mansion’s Board of Directors and the Orland Park Historical Society, invites you to share his para­nor­mal spirit expe­ri­ence and knowl­edge at two unique haunted Chicagoland loca­tions! Visit the Scutt Mansion in Joliet and the Senator Humphrey House in Orland Park with Shanahan when he brings a small group of  ‘liv­ing’ indi­vid­u­als along to expe­ri­ence and explore these loca­tions at night. Be part of an enter­tain­ing para­nor­mal expe­ri­ence as Shanahan attempts to ‘Cross the Veil’ between the liv­ing and the dead dur­ing the recre­ation of a Victorian Seance!

The Scutt Mansion, Joliet Illinois

Since it was built in the 1800s, two past own­ers have died at the Scutt man­sion and at least two doc­u­mented mur­ders have been com­mit­ted inside. Two chil­dren in the build­ing next door were found dead after a fire and one may be the lit­tle girl that at times makes it known that she is there.

Spirits are tied to the rooms full of vic­to­rian antiques, from the fur­nished base­ment to the very top floor. Dolls dat­ing back to the 1800s will be look­ing at you as you enter the Doll Room! In the Pipe Organ Dance Room, orbs can be seen in total dark­ness with­out flash or light­ing! You’ll never for­get what you feel from room to room, floor to floor, and you never know what you may see and hear wan­der­ing the halls…

Senator Humphrey House, Orland Park, Illinois

Senator Humphry House, Orland Park, Illinois

The Senator Humphrey House was home to Mr. Humphrey, his many chil­dren and two wives. The house was also the set­ting for the deaths of some. Family mem­bers’ wakes were often held in the liv­ing room of the fam­ily home.

From the upstairs children’s play­room to the liv­ing room and at times the base­ment, spir­its have been felt and strange things caught on cam­era in the Humphreys House, includ­ing what many feel at times is Mr. Humphrey him­self. The Humphrey Family also has a very strong tie to the famous haunted Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery. Even some of the Historians won­der out loud if the first Mrs. Humphrey may be the Madonna of Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery.
