If reading about the scary things that go bump in the night is more your speed that dressing up as those things, check out a couple of local articles that might make a chill go up your spine:

-The Tribune heads to “the most haunted place in Chicagoland” (and that’s saying something, this being a very strange and haunted city), Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery, with renowned psychic Ken Melvoin-Berg to commune with the many ghosts said to linger in the spot.

-More into animal magnetism? You might like this Time Out investigation of the werewolf said to stalk Bray Road, near Elkhorn, Wisconsin.

-Some of the scariest things in Chicago, according to Sun-Times staffers.

(If you’d still rather dress up and party this weekend, though, there’s plenty going on.)
