I was also a prospective buyer of this house when it was up for sale, veiwed it many times. One time we actually took an original item from the property to have "read" by a (for lack of a better word) clarvoyant - she can see into the past of an item by touching it. We were curious about any paranormal history there. She said that a child drowned in the upstairs bathroom (the larger bathroom in the middle of the upstairs layout). I can't help but wonder if this phenomena of waking up wet has anything to do with the drowning!
And I also can't help but make a correction to the Al Capone claim.. it wasn't HIS house. Jack and Beruit Flick were the original owners. Al Capone was old friends (possibly lovers I wonder?) and would come to stay there when he was traveling through. And to my knowledge it was never a brothel - Jack and Beruit were wealthy and had a very large family. But, that's not to say there wasn't crime and secrets held in that amazingly creepy basement. I can definitly imagine Al and the guys drinking and playing poker down there by the safe, or having a big bash up in the grande ball room
The house is definitly a sight to see.. I hope it goes up for sale again!!
