Hull House was made famous by Jane Addams, who opened it as a settlement house for European immigrants arriving to the U.S. With many ghosts said to haunt the house (including that of Charles Hull’s wife and the numerous people who died there at various times), the most fantastical legend told is of a baby thought to be born with the devil in him after the father said he would rather have Satan in his house than a picture of the Virgin Mary. The baby’s mother dropped him at Hull House where Addams tried to baptize him before locking him in the attic. Addams herself spoke of one of the front bedrooms being haunted, saying she and a friend once saw a “woman in white” there, an apparition that was later seen by a group of girls using the room as a dressing room for the adjacent theater.
