Description:

The Hull House most famously known in the paranormal world for the legend of the Devil Baby, is considered haunted by many investigators. The Devil Baby was suposedly a punishment of an Italian Catholic woman who married an atheist. The child had cloven hooves, scaley skin, pointed ears, and horns. While the members of the family denied such alligations, the local immigrants continued to believe and would later see the creature passing the upper attic window. Other ghostly events include the seeing of hooded apparitions, believed monks, on the property. A picture of these monks was taken by Dale Kaczmarek of the Ghost Research Society and can be seen here. This was taken in 1979. Ghost lights and phantom footsteps also occassionally roam the halls.
