Wish I had known about this before today. I would've asked for it for Christmas. As it is, I might just buy it. Anyway, this is the cover of a book that talks about all the ghosts and other creepy stuff that infest my town. Apparently, there are secret tunnels that run underneath Burlington (my current home), tunnels that Al Capone used to smuggle alcohol into Chicagoland from Canada. I guess Burlington was also his body-dumping ground. He used to leave dead bodies in the lakes here. Burlington was also famous for the number of brothels and bars that littered the town, which is partly why they think the city is so haunted.This cover shows the front of my apartment building, and the solar flare (added by Photoshop, obviously) is located right in front of my kitchen window. I don't know if that is supposed to imply that my apartment is haunted, but I've never noticed anything but mice...
(All of this came up because our substitute manager Ryan was wondering if our bank had any tunnels connected to it. We still aren't sure, but we all agree that it's creepy in the basement and that none of us are really interested in digging around down there).
