About this episode

This episode explores the haunted history of St. Charles, Illinois, focusing on the Hotel Baker and the Arcada Theatre.

St. Charles, Illinois sits on the Fox River forty miles west of Chicago, and for a town its size, it carries a remarkable amount of darkness. Two buildings have defined it for nearly a hundred years. Something still lurks on the sixth floor of the Hotel Baker, and it hasn't stopped terrifying guests. And at the Arcada Theatre, the hauntings have scared patrons and performers alike — because at the Arcada, the shows never quite end.
