Things that go bump in the dark makes for exciting traveling

You've always (at least secretly) loved them: ghost stories.  Even when you hate them, you love them.  Sitting around a campfire, lying in your sleeping bags, roasting sugary things, middle of the night, can't see a darn thing, telling each other the scariest, most frightening, most realistic story of ghosts, goblins, and things that go bump in the night.  The hair stands on your neck, skin crawls along your arm, and the guts in you curdle like milk on a hot afternoon. 

The ghost story.

One of those fun things we're going to occasionally tackle here on the Chicago Road Trips column will be those creepy, crawly, spooky, hair-standing, sleep-disrupting, sound-inducing fright stories that make you scream for more, force you to turn on the lights, and sleep with your back to the wall.

Tell a ghost story, hop in the car and hit the road in search of ghosts along the highways and byways of America, where a simple and peaceful drive in the dark can freak you out and turn you into a screaming lunatic as you're darn sure that you just saw something in the shadows.

Stormy nights, campfire light, back roads in the countryside, city cemeteries, places where murder happens; we'll talk about 'em and find 'em, and spook you.  I mean enlighten you with their jovial gentle feelings...

Come along as we scare ourselves silly, and yes, I will be sleeping with the lights on.

Travel Safe... and lock the doors!
