A quick warning before we get started with today's episode.

You're about to hear a story that has graphic descriptions of violence and death.

Okay, now on to our story.

It's almost Halloween, that time of year for candy, costumes, and a good fright.

I'm J.P. Swenson. Here at Curious City, we like a good ghost story, so we asked you for some.

And we got a call from Colin Santee, who says he had an encounter with a ghost as a little boy.

He was living on the grounds of a wealthy mansion in Barrington, Illinois. His father was the caretaker, one of many

who worked there. One night, young Colin woke up to something unusual. I woke up to seeing somebody in the hallway.

And so I looked down there and I was like, there's somebody walking.

And I thought it was my mom or my dad.

But it was ghostly.

It was shadowed and illuminating like sheets moving in the wind, like hanging, and it was

feetless. And so I was peeking out over my covers going, Dad? Mom? And I'm holding, and I hide

my head under the covers. And I pull my eyes back out and I'm still covering my nose with

the covers. I'm looking, saying, Mom, Dad. And I pull my eyes back out and I'm still covering my nose with the covers.

I'm looking, saying, Mom, Dad.

And I climb into my parents' room and they're both in bed, sound asleep.

As I found them there, I realized whoever was in the house, whatever that was, wasn't my parents.

And I slept in my parents' bed for the next week.

And while Colin was a young child when he saw this apparition,

he's not the only one who believes they may have seen ghosts in Barrington,

especially at that house on Rainbow Road in the area surrounding it.
