All aboard! This week The Spooky Darlings get a full description of a literal train ride to the Windy City, plus some of the ghostly legends that haunt the iconic skyline. From the spooky stories surrounding the only structures to survive the Great Chicago Fire - The famous Chicago Water Towers, to the chilling apparitions seen gliding along the grand hallways of The Drake Hotel, home to  an unsolved murder that still haunts the heart of the city—Chicago just might be one of America's most haunted places.
