CHICAGO (AP) – A real estate developer considering turning an old Chicago funeral home into apartments and shops is hoping location will trump the creepiness factor. David Trandel acknowledges the place “is creepy” and says that could be “a real issue.” But he believes the former Herdegen-Brieske Funeral Home in the Lake View neighborhood is too…
I hope he salvages what he can of the indoor fixtures and such.
As for living there, no worries…it’s not the dead you need to be afraid of, it’s the live ones.

In London, I lived in a haunted house. I sold it.

I wouldn’t be bothered. After all, people seldom go to the funeral home to die.

When I was younger, I wouldn’t even THINK of living there. Now that I’m older, I’d be okay with it. I guess age mellows a person.

It was a funeral home, not the scene of a mass murder..
And besides ghosts are not real.

My son-in-law grew up in a house that used to be a funeral parlor, only superstitious people would care.
