The Chicago Paranormal Detectives will set their sights on the unseen in Galena.
At 11 p.m. Wednesday, June 18, a seven-member crew will descend on the restaurant One Eleven Main to investigate claims of such ghostly activities as a piano moving on its own and a woman appearing in a white dress. The lady, who is carrying a bird, disappears before employees can approach her, according to the detectives group.
The restaurant served as a mortuary and a casket-making shop before becoming a downtown fixture.
"What we're coming to do is either debunk these claims, or we are here to give them more credibility," said Detective Tom Froelich, a member of the organization that includes four police officers who work on paranormal activities in their spare time, two crew members and a medium.
Although the investigation is not open to the public, their work can be viewed on their Web site, www.chicagoparanormaldetectives.com. For more information, call 847-207-5388.
