The Chicago Water Tower miraculously escaped destruction in the Great Chicago Fire. Some believe that the tower is haunted by the ghost of a man who perished there during the fire. This heroic worker stayed behind as the fire came closer, manning the pumps instead of fleeing for his life. Just before the flames reached him, he hung himself in the structure rather than be burned to death.
