Because of all the comments I got from my thread about my experiences at the abandoned ski lodge area, I want to share some information/pics about a property on Rainbow Road just off Cuba Road in Barrington. This site is probably one of the most talked about "haunted" spots in Chicago and ALOT of people go here. I knew they were building houses on the property so I went to Rainbow Road a few days ago to check out the progress.
There are a lot of stories about what has happened and what was behind those white gates, but I can't really find any true information. When people think of Rainbow Road they think of the insane asylum. There was a supposed insane asylum behind those gates at one time. One of my professors actually told me there was one back there, he used to go there when he was younger. There are also stories saying that the property was a Chicago mafia hideout in the 1930's. In addition to that I have also heard a story that there was a house back there and people mysteriously abandoned it during Christmas, Christmas decorations were left up and the people left everything. Lastly, I have read stories that a lot of people got killed in a mansion back there. I personally think an insane asylum could have been back there a long time ago, only because a credited source has told me so. But back like 20-30 years ago, it was just a mansion and a farm property.

Funny it says "After dusk" because people still probably come to this area at night to look for the "insane asslym" but there is NOTHING left of anything back there besides the silo.
