A large home in Joliet is priced to sell.
It’s a five bedroom, 5,000 square foot home, is for sale for $159,000.
It was built in 1882, and it has a dark history.
It was once owned by the inventor of barbed wire.
A man was murdered there in 2004.
Six years later, a 39-year-old man dropped dead six months after he bought it.
Paranormal believers say the “doll room,” on the third floor, is especially haunted.
Witnesses say the spirits of children are there and in other rooms in the house.
Some say they’ve heard voices and felt “fingers” running through their hair.

I thought barbed wire was invented in Dekalb. They have a museum for barbed wire in Dekalb.

I was by my Great grand father Sydney Stevens. He sold the rights to his employer Joeseph Glidden. Maybe Mister Glidden bought the Joliet home. IDK?
