Weekly Challenge #68: "Hometown"

Clarendon Hills, IL

Haunted Country House Restaurant
My hometown is thousands of miles away. I took a picture of this local hang-out old bar and restaurant in a residential area
which is a few blocks away from my house. The country house serves Chicagoland’s #1 burger in a rustic atmosphere.

Ghost Story: the Country House is supposed to be haunted by the ghost of a woman who may have been a girlfriend of a former bartender. She has been seen as an apparition,
sensed by psychics, heard banging on walls, and moving pots and other objects. In addition, the cry of a baby is sometimes heard and the strong scent of flowers has been reported.
