By Dale Kaczmarek, and CHICAGO'S STREET GUIDE TO THE SUPERNATURAL by Richard T. Crowe. Here's a few places that you should check out. Don't forget to bring your camera with plenty of high speed films! They are not in order and have been listed randomly.
1.Bachelor's Grove Cemetery near 147th St. and Midlothian Turnpike in Midlothian. Ghost lights, ectoplasmic mists, white lady, darting red lights, faces, phantom house(extremely rare) and much more.
2. Hull House 800 S. Halsted in Chicago. Ghost lights, ectoplasmic mists,faces,several ghosts as monks and lady. you cant photograph inside the Hull House however you can try to photograph around the house and windows at night.

Ghost lights, sounds of machine guns, ectoplasmic mists, and possible bad luck unless if you respect and left the property alone then you will be all right.
5. St. James Cemetery near Lemont (near corner of Archer Ave and 107th St.) Very old cemetery, too bad that we cant go there at night but try take plenty of photograph around old section down hill from old church but ghosts could be anywhere in the cemetery. If you plan go there, it is best to go incognito. Please respect the pastor and staff, they might not be too happy if they knew you were looking for ghosts. Ghost lights, ectoplasmic mists, monks, and several more ghosts.
6. Chinatown near downtown. Several suicides by hangings, poltergeist, and others that have caught fire and burnt to the ground mysteriously. Nun's ghost walking on the streets.

No alcohol, smoking, perfumes or aftershaves allow during the investigations. Alcohol caused increase negatives also people will not believe you when you saw something. In the haunted house, no smoking, perfumes or aftershaves will help us smell something. Cigars, perfumes and flowers (roses, etc) are common in the haunted houses.
Wear light clothing during the warm weather because you will get better chance to feel coolwaves and coldspots.
The Ghost Society to believed that the ghost clubs should include kids (15 or older) because they can be our ghost hunters for the next generation. Take kids for simple and safe investigation (NOT TOO HAUNTED) and let them learn about history, science, computers and much more in education for their experience.
