When "Wild Chicago" filmed in Bach. Grove they were eaten alive by a swarm of micro-vampires called mosquitos!

My place The Ravens Grin Inn is 3 hours due west of Chicago on rt. 64 (also known as "North Ave.) We are two hours from Batavia/St. Charles area.
The graveyard across from my house has 6,400 bodies there with quite a collection of the fancy 1880 type markers. The graveyard has a small river that wraps around three sides of it with the city park next to it through the woods, sort of a desolate location.
This part of Illinois is the only part of this state that didnot get crunched under the glacier 80,000 years ago. Steep hills, deep valleys, Dolomite cliffs, 2,000 yr. old Indian burial mounds, the widest spot in the Miss. River (3 miles across) Wholly Mamouth mastadon molars were found in this county 2 yrs. ago(shallow digging here versus the rest of the state)
Then there is that haunting theory involving Dolomite rock with it's age and high levels of magnesium doing a storage energy thing creating the haunting.
The downtown, where I am, looks like a movie set for an 1880 movie with the 1855 county courthouse, Civil war monument, two cannons, wrought iron courthouse steps and cast iron fountain. Wrought iron Mesker Bros. store fronts on most of the downtown might be the largest collection of such antiquity in the country.
Houses here are cheaper than ever, thanks to the widespread haunting that seems to happen up and down the two oldest steeets in this little town of 1,700.
A sudden unexplainable scream or crashing of invisible objects/sound has sent potential home buyers running along with the realator numerous time from numerous houses here.
It might be dolomite-influenced?
Could my wine cellar be haunted because of a dolomite influence? The floor is one big solid chunk of dolomite as are parts of the side walls!
