Nightmare or Nightclub? Rumor has it that TAO Chicago is haunted by ghosts.<\/h2>\n

If you frequent the club scene in Chicago, you\u2019re bound to have heard of TAO<\/span><\/a> or at least seen the red-carpet entrance and line. You can\u2019t miss this gargantuan stone building with spire-like posts on its four corners.<\/span><\/p>\n

TAO is not just another hip, nightclub of the present day. It\u2019s also the home of a couple of ghosts. As some would say, TAO Chicago is haunted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s back up here. Before this granite building was TAO, it embodied a different venue for various nightclubs from the 1980s through the mid-2010s. From nightclubs like Castle Chicago <\/span><\/a>(where there were three nightclubs housed under one roof) to other clubs like Excalibur<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Vision<\/span><\/a>, this place has always been where trendy socialites dance, drink, and climb the social ladder.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But what if we went even further back in time? All throughout the 1900s up through the ’60s, the building traded many hands. This all-purpose structure has housed publishers, design institutes, and even recording studios. Let\u2019s put it this way: TAO’s building is like the hot potato of Chicago.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But why? <\/span>Could it be the tumultuous economy from the \u201880s through the mid-2000s? Or shifting trends in nightclub-goers preferences? Or might it just be the ghosts of Chicago\u2019s past?<\/span><\/p>\n

All those theories sound like the perfect start to an economics class. But the ghost theory is particularly curious (and doesn\u2019t require as many graphs with supply and demand).<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1892, this granite building was home to the Chicago Historical Society<\/span><\/a>\u2014you know, since there was a fire, architect Henry Ives Cobb constructed a fire-proof building. Fast forward to the Eastland Disaster of 1915<\/span><\/a>. Legend has it that 632 N. Dearborn was a pop-up-morgue (if you will) for the bodies that had drowned from the sinking of the SS Eastland. This theory is plausible, but considering that no bodies were actually ever brought there, it\u2019s a little far-fetched. However, in 1931, just 16 years later, the Chicago Historical Society moved to Lincoln Park \u2014 for no known reason.<\/span><\/p>\n

Years passed before the whole nightclub era of this historical society building-turned-pop-up-morgue takes over. When Excalibur was in business was the first hint that something was off about this place. There are plenty of stories from previous employees speaking to the usual ghost-stuff<\/span><\/a>, i.e. candles being lit and then extinguished… Faucets or taps running — without any cause. Things, like bottles, breaking. Maybe an apparition here or there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Turns out, one of those apparitions happens to be Mary, a girl from the Southside of Chicago who dances with people and then suddenly disappears upon catching a ride.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Enter: Neil Tobin. Neil is a purveyor of all things paranormal, specifically in Chicago. He used to host a Supernatural Chicago show on Fridays back in the mid-2000s. During these shows, Tobin would share the infamous stories of this famed granite-building. Note: there are some stories that don\u2019t line up chronologically speaking with this building (i.e. the Chicago Fire happened before this building was constructed). That being said, the story of Mary is extremely enticing (and maybe even believable).<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how the story of Mary goes: Mary\u2019s proper title is Resurrection Mary<\/span><\/a>. Supposedly at a Supernatural Chicago seance <\/span><\/a>with Tobin, a volunteer would hear two whispers: a name and a number. The name, in this particular seance, was \u201cMary\u201d and the number whispered was \u201c8.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry. It goes on.<\/span><\/p>\n

With an envelope in hand, Tobin explains that there should be a message. Upon opening this letter, there\u2019s the exact prediction of this seance\u2019s events: the spirit of Mary, who died eight years before, would contact Tobin that evening.<\/span><\/p>\n

All you need to know is to look out for yourself when you walk down the stairs (as previous employees have said they\u2019ve fallen down without reason). And if candles start extinguishing themselves or Mary dances with you and then disappears, perhaps you should lay off the absinthe. <\/span><\/p>\n
