The Great Illinois Stone

Please help us learn more about this mysterious artifact.

We are trying to determine it’s

• Nature
• Purpose
• Potential
• Power
• Specialities
• Influences
• … and more

We are not sure what it is.  It could be many things.

It may have its roots in a time before this part of the country was settled. It could be connect to the spirits of the land and the people that settled here long before the Vikings or Columbus.

We just don’t know.

Possibly, it is:

• Myth
• Urban Legend
• A Key to other Mysteries
• A Sign of Things to Come … Good or Bad

The Great Illinois Stone has been reported to appear when something unexpected is going to happen.

We hear it has a special connection to politics. We are just not sure what the connection means.

Maybe it is connected to the forces that have helped put so many of our political leaders in prison.

Some have said it could:

• Indicate where to find someone of special interest … Good or Bad
• Fall on shady candidates
• Cause someone to slip and fall
• Serve as Seal of Approval
• Warn people of danger

We have heard that it might have come from the Castle Rock area.

Some say it was first found at the site of the “Murder Castle” hotel at Sixty-Third and Wallace in the Englewood section of Chicago. This “hotel” was designed and built by Dr. H.H. Holmes (born Herman Webster Mudgett), written about by Erik Larson in the book Devil in the White City. Holmes is often referred to as America’s first serial killer. In the end, he admitted to 27 murders, but estimates range as high as 250 victims.

Some say The Great Illinois Stone was unearthed at Chicago’s Graceland Cemetery, possible from the shore of the pond near Daniel Burnham’s burial site.

There is even a rumor that The Great Illinois Stone was sent here from another state to disrupt and disturb the tranquility of this part of the Heartland, cause the Chicago Machine to falter, Cook County government to crumble, or the Illinois State Legislature to be gridlocked on issues important to the citizens of this state. Boy, if that’s the case … it seems to be working.

If I was Rob Blagojevich, I would be concerned.
