On this Halloween episode, Natalya and Michelle swap stories of Chicago's historic hauntings and try to separate fact from fiction, debunking a couple of myths along the way. In the second half of the episode, we share Michelle's interview with a Chicago bartender who divulges his paranormal experiences at various Windy City watering holes.
