The ghostly event struck the countryside at midnight. It came from the deep darkness of the Joliet State Penitentiary's potter's field. The voice that arose from the dark was loud but captivating, singing religious hymns in Latin. The voice belonged to a ghost whose musical haunting mesmerized the entire country in 1932 and had worldwide attention as well. Thousands came to hear the singing ghost for many weeks until the authorities falsely claimed it was a hoax. They then forced the listeners to stay off the prison property on which the ghost was bound. Parapsychologist Dylan Clearfield has re-examined this case and proved that it was not a hoax, that the ghost was genuine, and he has produced long lost photographs of the spirit as evidence. Basing research on first hand witness accounts and documentation from the contemporary newspaper reports, the identity of the singing spirit has been proposed. Not only is this an old-fashioned ghost story but a look back at the America of the early 1930's where the world was quite a different place and where the reality of hauntings was easier to believe.
