Humphrey House in Orland Park
« on: May 29 2009 - 02:35PM »

Hello,
I ran across this article and and found it interesting that the Humphrey's were connected with Bachelor's Grove.

I've never been to any abandoned houses before, but I've always wanted to. That one sounds really interesting! Does anyone know where in Orland it's located? And you're allowed to just walk in the house? You couldn't be charged with tresspassing or anything, could you?

Nice find ixex, that's interesting stuff right there!

Mark.. the address is listed in the article, and it sounds like it is open for tours and such, and is not abandoned.  If it was abandoned I would be on my way there right now :)

Respect.  Mah.  Authoritah!

Well, isnt that just like me to skim right over important details like that! LOL

But yeah I did a little research on it and realized that it wasn't abandonded and that its open for tours. So I guess what I'm wondering is if you can just walk in whenever or if you can only go during a scheduled tour.

Ha! Sweet deal!

Hopefully that opens more doors for you, both professionally and paranormally!

I and John just brought a lot of people out there today, as I asked
the Historical Society to open up for us today, as I'm also a member
of the Historical Society.

I really need to find a way to move to Chicago. You guys have all the fun! Anyone looking to adopt a 47 year old kid at heart?   :smiley31:

Aten I have no doubt that I would love Chicago! I have visited there twice and I vowed then that someday I would move there. That was a good many years ago. Of course these days my interests are very different but I know I would still love it.

Overnighter - Re: Humphrey House in Orland Park

I have received the approval of having an Over Nighter at the Humphrey House (they asked me), with about 12 people. I have to decide on the date etc... and if I want to do that or what else I have planned to do there.

As was stated by the Historian of The Humphrey House, the Spirit of Mr. Humphrey and I don't get along, as witnessed in the past when I have had others there and do what I do, but that allows others to experience the Spirits in the house.

You can read more about the location and the write-up in the newspaper that includes how I found this location, at:
