Beverly rests 12 miles south of the Loop. Beverly is known for it spacious beautifully built homes. The streets are lined with trees. The area is racial mixed. The area consists of mostly white and then some blacks take up the rest of the area mainly, there are also American Indians, Asians, Hispanics, and many more. One of Beverly's well known landmarks is the Castle, it was constructed by Robert Givins in 1866 on 103rd and Longwood Drive. The stones of the castle were brought from Ireland all the way to the Beverly. beverly is actually a place that holds many ghost stories there are some about the Irish Castle, actually 20% of Beverly homes experience paranormal activity and cemeteries are the key places of much of the paranormal activity and Clissold a Elementry school of Bevrly's is also supposeddly huanted. One ghost story of the Castle is that Givins wife who lived in Ireland while he was building it and died before she got a chance to live there and you can sometimes see her walking up the hill to the castle's door. Other ghost appearances have been reported at the Castle, the was once a all girls school before it became the property of Beverly's Unitarian Church. A custodian who works for the Church was cleaning one night and stumbled upon a girl in a long dress and they ended up chatting with each other for a few minutes and the girl mentioned how the Castle had changed since she lived there the custodian went on cleaning and then realized that the Castle had been a Church for 20 years and that that would mean that there was no way that young girl could have lived there when she arrived back in the room the girl was gone she searched the whole building looking for her all the doors and windows were locked and there was no footprints in the new blanket of snow. The preacher has also reported seeming two arms wrap around her husbands waist but he said he felt nothing. There is sometimes a light like a candle that can be seen wandering the castle at night when no one is in the Castle. There are also jingling of glasses and silverware but when anyone tries to find the source of the noise they never can it's told that it sounds like it's coming from everywhere but yet nowhere.
