Halloween has arrived; it’s the perfect time for scary movies, Ouija boards and haunted houses. This year, instead of checking out the local haunted house, give yourself a real scare by visiting one of the real haunted locations in Lake County, Ill.

Lake County is notorious for having many eerie and supposedly haunted places. Many have heard the rumors: the sacrifices that took place at Devil’s Pool; the creepy old farm road called Crawford Rd., where a ghost is said to chase you off the road; unexplained noises at the Antioch Theatre; and even at Antioch Community High School. It seems like every where you turn, there is paranormal activity happening.

Bob Jensen of the paranormal investigating team based out of Lake County claims he knows the most haunted place in Lake County.

“A private location in Lake Forest [is the most haunted]. The location still hosts a poltergeist,” Jensen said.

A poltergeist is a paranormal entity that is capable of making physical disturbances.

Visitors of the house have been thrown down stairs, choked, bitten and physically assaulted by unseen entities, according to Jensen. The home was built in the 1800’s, and the reason for the paranormal activities is still unknown.

Although the location of this house is undisclosed, it still earns the title of the most haunted place in Lake County, and is sure to scare daring visitors for years to come.
