A Chicago woman claims a group of luxury homes is sitting empty because of paranormal activity linked to the land they were built on, BroBible reports. Tessa, who shares her experiences on TikTok, says the houses stand where a spooky old abandoned church once stood. She notes that the neighborhood is full of buildings that are 70 to 120 years old, and this specific church was a desolate staple across from her own home for a long time.
Multiple developers tried to repurpose the church over the years, but they all faced the same issue. Tessa claims construction workers were consistently spooked by otherworldly activity and would often leave the premises during the day. She acknowledges that workers leaving a site is not proof of a haunting, but she mentions hearing them shout “demonio” as they fled the building. She believes they were genuinely scared off by what they witnessed.
The church was eventually demolished to make room for brand new luxury homes, but Tessa says those houses have stayed empty for months. Rumors suggest the land remains home to paranormal occurrences. Curious about these claims, Tessa and her husband attended an open house for one of the properties. They were the only visitors, and the realtor showed them around the home despite knowing they were not serious buyers.
The tour felt normal until they reached the main bedroom
Tessa explains that the room features a double-door entrance, his and her closets, and a main bathroom with two separate doors leading in. There are six doors in total in that space. Inside the bathroom, two sinks sit with mirrors directly facing each other.
While they were walking through the closet, the group heard the door to the closet close. Tessa says the noise was clear as day. They assumed another visitor had entered the home, so the realtor called out to the person. He reportedly said, “We’re in here. Why don’t you come in here? I’m actually giving a tour.”
Silence followed his invitation. The realtor checked the other closet, but the situation turned stranger when one of the sinks turned on by itself. Tessa and her husband went to the bathroom to investigate, but found nobody there. When the realtor saw the running water, his reaction was one of frustration.
Tessa recalls the realtor looking directly at the sink and saying, “You know, I’ve been trying to sell this house since June. And what can I say? There’s a bunch of unexplained quirks that just keep happening.” He also claimed this happens in thirty other homes in the area, noting that he has been trying to sell the property since June of 2026. He told her that doors opening and closing on their own is common during tours.
Tessa believes this activity is a form of demon karma resulting from the destruction of the old church.
