THE HAUNTED BATES HOUSE - Joliet, Illinois. The A. J. Bates House (1888), located in the haunted house-rich city of Joliet, is considered to be one of the "Most Haunted" in the area. Designed by Joliet architect Frank Shaver Allen, this Victorian-style residential structure has been the focus of creepy urban legends for decades. Rumor holds that a "Mad Doctor" once conducted illegal operations and "bizarre experiments" in this abode. Accounts of weird shadows, disembodied voices (or screams), cold spots, and movements "out of the corner of your eye" abound in local legend. This house certainly fits the description as to what a haunted house should look like. Creepy.
