Groups of 8–30 meet at the Elmhurst College Mill Theatre at 7:30 p.m. for two-hour tours narrated by Ray Johnson and Kirsten Tillman, and monitored with electronic-voice-phenomenon equipment by Beth Shields, who also helps guide the tour. Tourists see the spooky side of St. Peter’s Church Cemetery and St. Mary’s Cemetery. At the end of each tour, Kirsten presents a video she has created with the EVPs collected at each location. Tours span approximately 1.25 miles and run every Saturday night until November 1.

Voices From Beyond Tours

Ray Johnson was just a freshman in high school when he had an encounter with the paranormal. He and his younger brother were horsing around, running back and forth from the living room to the kitchen, where they saw their mother standing at the stove cooking dinner. The next time they entered the kitchen it was mysteriously empty, and Ray’s mother came down from the upstairs apartment where she’d been all along. Ray and his brother could never explain the woman—or shadow of a woman—they’d both seen cooking that day, but it did spark Ray’s interest in solving mysteries, leading him to become a criminal investigator and, later, a historical and genealogical researcher.

A Chicagoland native and history buff, Ray explores the legends and mysteries swirling around the Windy City—which fill his book Chicago’s Haunt Detective, the blog he writes for ChicagoNow, and his narration during Voices From Beyond tours. Working with two paranormal experts who handle the technical side of ghost hunting, Ray leads walks through Elmhurst’s spookiest sites, including the Elmhurst College Mill Theatre, the White Birch homestead, and Cottage Hill.

The Groupon Guide to: Types of Potatoes

When making your first foray into advanced potato dishes, you may be asked by your cookbook to use a specific kind of potato because of its unique color, texture or starchiness. Parse your tubers with this helpful potato guide:

Russet Potatoes
* Shape: Potato-shaped
* Skin, Flesh: Traditional “potato brown” skin that peels semifreely from a dry flesh that ranges from white to yellow
* Best Uses: Blanched to tenderness before being chucked at parked cars as a goof

French Fingerling
* Shape: Potato-shaped (smaller)
* Skin, Flesh: Waxy pink skins conceal yellow flesh
* Best Uses: Ironically, these “French” potatoes cannot be french-fried as they immediately dissolve if exposed to any manner of liquid and are therefore primarily fed raw to horses or chucked at parked cars for a laugh

Bananas
* Shape: Hilarious
* Skin, Flesh: Sturdy yellow rind protecting soft white flesh
* Best Uses: Cut up in a bowl of cereal, blend into a smoothie to add a creamy texture and mild flavor, or chuck at parked cars on a lark

Which potato is the best for throwing at cars?
