Though Illinois has so many haunts it's hard to keep track of them (though we sure do try, by golly!) I'd vote for Resurrection Mary, aka the Vanishing Hitchhiker of Willow Springs, southwest of Chicago. I love to tell that story, followed by my o...

Storytellers, list the products you have produced and/or published. This was created as a one-stop resource shop for members of Professional Storyteller. Include the producer/publisher, detailed description, photo, ISBN, and ordering information.
