  • Paramount Theater: An old-time movie palace, this vintage cinema is the home of not one, but two supernaturally devoted employees. Long after their untimely deaths, Jerry and Mickey still do their best to lend a helping hand.
  • Historical Society Museum and William Tanner House: This house built in 1857 contains the Aurora Historical Society has been investigated by ghost hunters and some have seen a woman looking down the staircase.
  • Water Street Square: Located in the heart of Aurora on the Fox River, downtown Aurora and the river itself have plenty of mysterious history.
  • Root Street Cemetery: No one knows how many bodies still lie beneath the grass at Aurora's oldest public graveyard. No one knows where they lie, or even how many of them were in life.
