The Ridge Historical Society and Chicago folklorist and ghost hunter Richard Crowe are offering a ?Devil in the White City? bus tour from 12:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Nov. 17.
The bus will make a round trip from RHS (10621 S. Seeley Ave.). Lunch at the historic Schaller?s Pump will be included in the price of the tour.
