About this audio guide
This guide to the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum in Chicago opens in the autumn of 1913, when a rumor of a hidden devil baby drew thousands of visitors to the door. You'll hear the story neighbors told about its origin, and how Jane Addams responded to the women who came looking for it. The guide follows the six weeks the rumor gripped the West Side, and the buckets of water later left outside the haunted bedroom upstairs.
