Haunted Chicago - Death Alley


For those who believe...
A very good friend of mine and I finally took a Haunted Chicago Tour. No fun house antics here - just history. Can you see anything in the orb?
This picture (the second is a crop of the origional) was taken in Death Alley. This alley is behind the site of the Iriquois Theater Fire. I'm not going to explain the fire, or the circumstances behind the naming of Death Alley - I'll let you research it...and draw your own conclusions...

Did you notice the orb is a perfect circle? Kinda weird. Why is the fire escape up now?

Orbs usually are perfect circles...do you see the face is the cropped shot? Check near the lower right...let me know if you see it :O)

The Iriquois Fire happened in the early 1900's. The building was razed, and the Oriental Theater stands on it's footprint. Death Alley is at the back of the theater, where almost 300 people (many children) jumped or were pushed to their deaths. The alley remains much like the past.

Fire Laws are a little bit different now...

I almost commented no i didn't see it, and I went back to check it out. It's pretty clear. The face is elonged.

Again Em I tried to show Pooh, but yet again she doesn't see a face at all. The man in the orb is caucausin with a almost fun mirror kind of smile....he has all of his front teeth. How much more can I tell her about the face?

You're seeing something else...interesting since that's what my neighbor sees as well...

The face I see is: from the right, near the bottom between the second and third bar. You can clearly see eyes, nose, forehead and smile - the top of the head is just under the cross bar above the face...

It's also visable when you crop the pic and blow it up even more...

Did you see the face in the window from Hull House?
