Even if they're not officially haunted, Chicago has some spooky spots that give us goosebumps.
The big picture: From cavernous, dark hallways in historic hotels to empty malls, this week's Axios Chicago tournament is on a mission to crown the spookiest place in Chicagoland.
Methodology: We're not looking for haunted histories. We're judging the creepy vibes of buildings, streets and even entire neighborhoods. We included suburban spots, too.
- With only 16 slots, plenty of scary contenders were omitted.
The contenders: Our Sweet 16 includes Lower Wacker Drive, the Drake Hotel, the Pedway, the old Cook County Hospital and even Northbrook Court Mall. Have you been in there lately? Definitely spooky.
Cast your vote: Polls close at 4pm Monday.
