One of the remaining mansions, the Hull House, was transformed into a community center by a woman named Jane Addams. She quickly discovered that the old building wasn’t without its secrets. Most notably, Mrs. Hull’s ghost was a constant presence in the house, walking the halls late at night and manifesting inside rooms.
