Father Leo then paused with a deep breath before going on. There are many problems here, and some very strange things happen late at night that I just can t explain. Poverty. Crime. Politics. Scandal. Revenge. . . . And a Ghost. These are the untold stories of the last days of a forgotten Chicago parish by the last person able to tell them: Fresh out of the seminary in 1956, Father Rocco Facchini was appointed to his first assignment, the parish of Saint Charles Borromeo on the city s Near West Side. Adapting to rectory life with an urthodox, dispirited pastor and attending to the needs of the rough, impoverished neighborhood were challenges in themselves. Little did Rocco kw that the rectory was being haunted by a bishop s ghost! Muldoon: A True Chicago Ghost Story dives into Father Rocco s four-year saga at Saint Charles, where his spiritual undertaking becomes a worldly adventure. His supporting cast includes a housekeeper inappropriately involved in her pastor s affairs, and a genius priest who carries a gun, thwarts neighborhood crime, and teaches Rocco about loving the poor. And there s the pastor himself. He padlocks the refrigerator, guides young priests only in the weekly ritual of Bingo, and entangles Rocco in the dirty work of a fraudulent shrine. As a backdrop to this chaos, the rectory experiences a host of supernatural manifestations, and Rocco discovers the legend of Bishop Peter J. Muldoon. Are there clues in this story of early stardom and great achievement, clerical competition and revenge, accusations and scandal, a missing ring, excommunication, and possibly murder that explain why the unexplainable is happening all around him.
