    Chicagoland Ley Line Map

    ByJacob Rice April 12, 2013January 4, 2026

    I built this map for a simple reason. I wanted to test a ghost-hunter idea with a basic tool. Plot a bunch of haunted locations. Connect the clusters. See if “lines” show up. They did. But the weird part is where they showed up. The three strongest lines track major…

    How to Tell the Difference between an Urban Legend and a Haunting

    ByJacob Rice April 8, 2013December 15, 2025

    Matrixing | Why We See Ghosts That Aren’t There

    ByJacob Rice March 30, 2013March 21, 2024

    Our brains are wired to take in our environment and try to make something we can understand. That’s called matrixing. All of our lives, we train it to make ‘sense’ of a bunch of chaotic sensory elements. It keeps us sane for the most part. But, it’s a hassle for…

    Our Favorite Haunts: Alcatraz, San Francisco, California

    ByJacob Rice March 28, 2013April 7, 2025
