The Haunting of Hull-House with Shane and Ryan of Ghost Files

Published 2022-10-14
Hull-House is widely considered one of the most haunted places in Chicago. There are many accounts of paranormal activity occurring within its walls and Jane Addams Hull-House Museum is an avidly-pursued location for ghost hunters and paranormal investigators. For the first-time Hull-House invited ghost hunters to spend an evening looking for The Devil Baby, The White Lady and other spirits that have haunted Hull-House for over one hundred years. Before they entered the museum, Hull-House Education Coordinator Nadia Maragha interviewed Ryan Bergara and Shane Madej of Ghost Files.

About Jane Addams Hull-House Museum:

Jane Addams Hull-House Museum serves as a dynamic memorial to social reformer Jane Addams, the first American woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, and her colleagues whose work changed the lives of their immigrant neighbors as well as national and international public policy. The Museum preserves and develops the original Hull-House site for the interpretation and continuation of the historic settlement house vision, linking research, education, and social engagement

The Museum is located in two of the original settlement house buildings- the Hull Home, a National Historic Landmark, and the Residents' Dining Hall, a beautiful Arts and Crafts building that has welcomed some of the world's most important thinkers, artists and activists.

The Museum and its many vibrant programs make connections between the work of Hull-House residents and important contemporary social issues.

Founded in 1889 as a social settlement, Hull-House played a vital role in redefining American democracy in the modern age. Addams and the residents of Hull-House helped pass critical legislation and influenced public policy on public health and education, free speech, fair labor practices, immigrants’ rights, recreation and public space, arts, and philanthropy. Hull-House has long been a center of Chicago’s political and cultural life, establishing Chicago’s first public playground and public art gallery, helping to desegregate the Chicago Public Schools, and influencing philanthropy and culture.

    Ryan said "talking to a puppet" so casually, as if he hadn't KILLED the professor. It's so surprising how casually some killers will talk about their victims
  • As a stressed college student at UIC I was extremely surprised that Shane and Ryan are here 💀
  • @noplace3571
    Nadia's ability to basically sit back and let them talk, while still asking insightful questions and interjecting with interesting comments, is really refreshing. I'm so used to seeing interviews where the interviewer doesn't let their guests talk, that this is nice to see!
  • @sallyhazy
    "top ghost hunter ryan bergara and shane madej" the boys are getting the recognition they derseve!
  • @su-she9225
    I love how their interviews always go from profesional questions and then to Ryan talking about a baby smoking fat cigarettes
  • @6nomemory6
    seeing Ryan struggling to keep himself together and not get too goofy is so funny to me. meanwhile, Shane acts like his dad and tries to keep him chill lol
  • @awff7
    Nadia did a great job interviewing them! I'm sad that some of the anecdotes that she talked about didn't make the final cut of the Ghost Files episode (like the devil baby smoking cigars 💀), but it was great to hear more about Hull-House and its supposed ghosts
  • the lack editing of this interview makes it so funny because you can see how off-track they can be lol. and props for nadia for not rushing things and actually listens to them (and her laugh is heartwarming!)
  • That's one of the things I love about Shane and Ryan... they don't BS the fans, they don't turn to fake scares to make the episodes 'interesting' like ALL of the other ones do. Bravo, lads, please don't change. I love the banter.
  • @pritali1238
    I really really enjoyed hearing Nadia talk about how the afterilfe fits in with her personal belief system and the way that she interfaces with it while working at a place like Hull-House. I think just hearing from people about how their belief systems allow them to approach lingering energies/spirits/ghosts whatever is really fascinating and just lovely to hear
  • @aubrey8029
    Ryan just goes “is that a functional fireplace?”That is so Ryan!😂
  • @elliem6251
    I really enjoyed this interview! I like how real everyone was, cool to see Ryan and Shane not in their “characters”. The interviewer did a super good job too! Great questions and I love that they know who Shane and Ryan are .
  • @67toast
    Nadia was so good- that intro tho!! She needs a podcast!! Great interview- Ryan and Shane made me laugh, also cool to hear more about their journey. Also happy there are (working) subtitles.
  • @spring6066
    As a fellow muslim i'm just very happy that Nadia got to share about her belief here. Her description on perceiving the supernatural is mostly similar to mine, being an Unsolved/Ghost Files fan i've always wanted to tell Ryan&Shane about the different way us muslims experience thing so it's nice that Nadia had done exactly that. This interview was very enjoyable, thank you!
  • Came as a Shane and Ryan fan, leaving as a Nadia fan. So interesting to hear her talk about djinn. I come from a very different spiritual background, but that's always how I was taught to understand spirits too. I always find it cool when there's little similarities between cultures that are otherwise quite different 😊
  • Nadia is absolutely stunning in every way, I could easily listen to hours of her talking about history!
  • No ghost hunter will ever top the cultural reset that is the ghoul boys. History lessons ain’t ever been better!
  • I love how they just go off on their own. Easy to interview. Zero dead air 😂
  • Fantastic interview! I loved how Nadia balanced professional interviewing and being a fan. The enthusiasm was infectious all around. I think that ghost stories are a great entry point into history and I adore this museum inviting the ghoul boys to bring a light on this home and its illustrious (and spooky!) inhabitants.
