I need someone with contacts and connections to either verify or deny the existence of ghosts on Cuba Road in Barrington, IL. My wife and I have heard a great many rumors and stories, and have disproved many of them... Nevertheless, there are still a lot of stories we haven't disproved, and we have both experienced seemingly paranormal events, both while we were together and when each of us have gone there alone.

I'm asking for a lot of different bits of information, here...

First, can someone verify whether or not someone has, in fact, died on that road in an automobile accident, caused by his tailgating someone else. If there was, can someone please tell me which of the multitude of stories I've heard surrounding this "ghost car" are true? I've heard that it was a man who was late getting home, and was tailgating the car in front of him out of frustration... I've also heard that he had ties with the mafia, and was being chased by police at the time, and the car in front of him was trying to help the police. There're other stories I've heard, but those two seem the most likely to me...

Second, there's supposed to be several side-streets off of Cuba Road, both east and west of 59, where one can supposedly see mafia members, re-enacting a shootout with police and getting killed, one by one. Some rumors say that they don't like visitors, and can turn hostile, though the same rumors admit that the people they start attacking are never physically injured. I have my own theories on *that*... If it helps anyone's research, the most famous of these sidestreets, and the only one where my paranormal senses told me that something was out there, was Rainbow Road, a residential neighborhood that runs north from Cuba Road, east of 59. Possibly east of 12, it's been a while since I've been out that way...

If anyone can verify any of that, I'd really appreciate it. It's nothing majorly or earthshatteringly important, but it is something I'm interested in.

I almost forgot to ask... In Hoffman Estates, there's a road called Old Shoe Factory Road. Some distance down, there's an evicted house that was, due to whatever circumstances, never completely demolished. It's missing part of one wall, and looks about ready to fall in on itself.

In the house, there is most definitely a hostile entity. My wife and I, hearing stories of people getting hurt in ways they shouldn't while checking out the house, decided to go check it out ourselves.

There was so much hatred washing out of the walls, I refused to let my wife go so far as to walk up the front steps (she's the adventurous type, and wanted to actually go in).

Exploring around the back area, there was an open area that, by contrast, felt completely sanctified, as if by angels or faerie.

I've heard the stories of the kid who lived in that house killing his parents and committing suicide, or something along those lines...I forget exactly what. Can someone verify or deny this story? Even if it is true, the Thing inside the house could be some demonic entity that twisted him into murdering his own parents, or something along those lines.

Again, any help would be greatly appreciated. I do intend, at some point, to take a team out there and deal with whatever it is, so anyone interested in volunteering for that job would also be appreciated.

KT, what ever became of this?

When we were in Chicago (top secret mission, for now anyway) in early February this year we heard the story about a ghost truck chasing folks. Some other stories, too. May post them up when things calm down a bit.

I did not disappear.

You just did not see me...

In answer to DarKnyght's question, nothing's come of this, yet, and it won't till pry the end of this month, at the earliest. Would you be interested in heading out with us to see what we can see?

I wouldn't mind helping at all. PM me the details.

Alright. Send me a message closer to the end of the month.
