Diane Ladley is a nationally award-winning storyteller and author, named by other storytellers as "America's Ghost Storyteller." She was a State of Illinois ArtsTour Artist from 2001 to 2005. Diagnosed with debilitating fibromyalgia, she could no longer work her full-time job or travel the country telling her ghost stories. With no husband or family to support her, Diane turned her physical therapy walks into the Haunted Hometowns ghost walk tours and cemetery ghost hunts in Naperville, Aurora and Elgin, Illinois—and they just celebrated its 13th anniversary season this year! This Halloween, Diane launched her podcast, Hist-eerie…it’s history’s eerie side, history with the lights out!
