Murder Castle Site / Englewood Post Office

atmospheric · unverified

Ghost City Tours and CBS Chicago's 'Chicago Hauntings' coverage report that workers and visitors at the Englewood post office have described phantom odours with no physical source (variously described as burning, chemical or decay), shadow figures, frequent malfunction of stored equipment, and a few claims of being touched or shoved by unseen hands in the basement. These are anecdotal site reports tied to the building's history rather than verified phenomena.

During filming for the PBS programme 'The Hauntings of Chicago,' postal employees at the Englewood branch are reported to have described strange occurrences in the building, especially the basement, which some believe shares a foundational wall with the original Castle. As relayed by American Ghost Walks, staff accounts include unexplained sounds and unease in the lower level. These are reported employee anecdotes captured for a haunted-history programme rather than controlled findings.
