Ep 161 Beneath the Roar: Ghosts of Lincoln Park

Once home to the city’s cemetery, Chicago’s Lincoln Park carries a dark history buried just beneath the surface—literally. Before the laughter of children and the roar of lions filled the air, thousands of bodies were laid to rest here… many of them never moved when the zoo was built.In this episode of Lurk, we dig into the chilling history of the land beneath Lincoln Park Zoo, from the days of grave robbers and smallpox victims to the paranormal encounters reported by zookeepers, visitors, and ghost hunters alike. You’ll hear stories of shadowy figures pacing near the animal enclosures, phantom footsteps in empty halls, and the eerie legend of the Couch Mausoleum—the last visible remnant of the old cemetery.Is it the spirits of the unclaimed dead still roaming their disturbed graves? Or something far older that lingers in this patch of green in the heart of Chicago?Join us as we explore what lies beneath the roar.Subscribe & Follow:Don’t miss future episodes of Lurk!
