Randall Road and Route 72, Sleepy Hollow

Illinois · United States · Road

Two separate accounts from houses in this Illinois village: a girl's dead twin standing behind the basement furniture, and handprints that came back.

More than one haunting has been reported around Randall Road and Route 72 at Sleepy Hollow, Illinois, and the accounts come from private houses rather than from any public site.

The first concerns a basement, and the figure described in it is the dead twin of the only daughter in the family. She is reported at night, standing behind the furniture or in the back corners of the room.

The second comes from another house in the village. Three things are described there. A man in a black suit. A small boy with brown hair and a green jumper. And handprints in the basement that would not stay covered, coming back through the paint no matter how many times the wall was gone over.

The handprints are the detail that has kept this account in circulation. They are described as pressed from the inside of the wall outward rather than left on its surface.

These are people's homes, and no addresses are given here for that reason. The area is residential and there is nothing to visit.
