Congress Plaza Hotel
What is your first impression of this hotel?
My friend will stay here and asked me to check if the area was safe.
It was opened in 1893 and many websites say it’s haunted… and that it’s the most haunted hotel in Chicago!
haunted = has ghosts inside
Al Capone, the famous mafia boss, often stayed here and his ghost has often been seen here!
A couple of ghosts (one boy, one man) are often seen and they like to turn the room lights on and off or rearrange furniture
In room 441 a female ghost often kicks guests out of bed.
He isn’t seen as a ghost but a famous serial killer, H. H. Holmes, used to wait in the lobby and choose victims from this hotel.
serial killer = person who murders many people
Should I tell my friend his hotel is haunted?
Would you stay in this hotel?
If your friend went overseas and when they came back, told you that they had seen a ghost, would you believe them? Would you think they’re crazy?
Would you tell people if you see a ghost?
Do you know anyone who has seen a ghost?
Do you think hotels like having ghost stories?
