" Bonnie Elizabeth Parker  (October 1, 1910 – May 23, 1934) and  Clyde Chestnut Barrow  a.k.a.  Clyde Champion Barrow [1]  (March 24, 1909 – May 23, 1934) were American criminals who traveled the central  United States  with  their gang  during the  Great Depression , robbing and killing people. At times, the gang included Clyde's older brother  Buck Barrow  and his wife  Blanche ,  Raymond Hamilton ,  W. D. Jones , Joe Palmer,  Ralph Fults , and  Henry Methvin . Their exploits captured the attention of the American public during the " Public Enemy Era ", between 1931 and 1935. Though known today for his dozen-or-so bank robberies, Barrow preferred to rob small stores or rural gas stations. The gang is believed to have killed at least nine police officers and several civilians. The couple were eventually ambushed and killed by law officers near the town of Sailes, in  Bienville Parish, Louisiana . Their reputation was revived and cemented in American pop folklore by 

In Lemont, there are many supposed hauntings. One is the famous Resurrection Mary in which this long dead woman is said to hitchhike on Archer Avenue and sometimes asks to be dropped off at the Willowbrook Dance Hall or to house that she lived in long ago. Not far is St. James Church which is also said to be the scene of several sightings of ghostly monks and figures. Here is my investigation:

On a quiet road in Barrington, there is an old cemetery.  This stretch of road is said to be very haunted.  Some see orbs floating around the cemetery and others have reported a phantom car that races down the road and disappears.  There is a history of the area and it appears that this area may be the scene of an old FBI chase after Baby Face Nelson.  I've looked at the area twice and have done two separate videos on the area.  Here is an updated video.

From an older investigation and one of my earlier vids.

I took a trip to the Volo Museum and the alleged Haunted Volo Barn.  I will say that I did have some experiences there that seemed strange.  When entering the barn, I did feel a cold spot and did smell a sweet smell.  At first I thought it was some sort of potpourri or incense and thought it was a sweet smell such as cherry coconut.  I was told later the odor is supposed to be cherry tobacco. The only photographic anomaly was the shadow of a man's face with possibly a hat on that appeared on a photograph I was taking a picture of.  It is shown in the video I listed on youtube. Here is the rest of the investigation. At some point, I would like to go back and do a further investigation.  For now, I would compare this experience with something similar I experienced at Aztalan.

One of the most hypnotic songs ever is Morrissey's/The Smith's How Soon is Now .  Here are some youtube videos of a most recent performance and one years ago of an earlier performance.  This song always inspires me and puts me in a writing mood.
