Ep. 34 Lincoln Park and Zoo

⭐️ The St. Valentines Day Massacre happened in 1929 NOT 1992 Like I accidentally said!!! Sorry about that I reversed the numbers. Reversing numbers is something that Dyslexic people do often. ⭐️ 

Chicago Has an amazing history but Lincoln Park and Zoo has been known to be haunted since the 1800s. I also talk about the Chicago Mothman!
