Born and raised on the Southside of Chicago, I felt right at home in an establishment that was once owned by the notorious Capone brothers.
Having an avid interest in all things paranormal as well as 20th Century Midwestern history, Shakers almost seemed too perfect a marriage for my passions and I was excited to come on board as a Tour Guide and Host.
Yes, I’ve experienced my fair share of odd occurrences, unexplainable interactions and baffling situations within the walls of 422 S 2nd Street, and like I so commonly reiterate to visitors when they inquire about such, “What we are accustomed to as 'normal' at Shakers is a far cry from what most people would. Our barometer for ‘odd’ starts in a completely different place.”
I am a guide for Ghost Tours (Historic and 2.0) as well as the Cream City Cannibal (Jeffery Dahmer) Tours. If I'm not giving a tour, I will be at the Host Stand and more than happy to match you up with the perfect cigar to compliment your evening.
