Haunted: Old Town Tatu

If you're looking to get spooked and inked this weekend you might want to head out to Old Town Tatu (formerly Odin Tatu). A friend of mine told me about it after seeing it on Weird Chicago.

The story goes a little something like this - the studio was built in what was formerly Klemundt Funeral Home. Richie "Tapeworm" Herrera bought it and turned it into Odin Tatu and started noticing some super freaky shit. He would feel a presence trying to push him down the stairs and would also hear noises  - someone calling out "Walter" another a church organ.

The guys from Weird Chicago  had originally gone to interview Tapeworm and hear about the supernatural stuff going on at the shop. As he took them around he stopped and said,

"you guys see that staircase?.....twice, when I was walking down those stairs, I felt like someone was trying to push me. And that freaked me out, because everyone knows you can't fight BACK with these cats, right? So the first time it happened, I said 'listen! if I die in this place, it is ON!'"

Um, you guys, Tapeworm ended up dying three weeks later. So sad. So weird. So creepy. If you want to hear the podcast they put together inside of the shop, listen here.

I am so creeped out right now I think I'm gonna hide my face in a bowl of candy and a bottle of Miller Chill.

Here, these will make you feel better:
