  • Is it possible to speak the ghost of one of the countries most notorious mobsters? In this video we head to Chicago Illinois to see if we can get in communication with the Notorious Al Capone…. Or Snarky to some of his closest associates! Clock into this shift and let know what you think in the comment section.
    It’s always amusing to me when we bump into people in these resting communities… everyone seems to have a story… both the living and dead. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

    Aww, Dalen. How sweet to speak with James. You were so kind to let him talk. He sounded like he's lonely but, one thing, he sure was knowledgeable about Al Capone and that time period. It was meant to be that you were to meet him. Gosh, I'd love to sit with him and let him tell me about anything he knows.

      Dalen, I'm not sure if you are aware of this interesting tidbit about Al Capone. Every trip he made to Florida had one stop in Georgia both ways; Al Capone would always stop at the Winchester Hotel in Albany. He always took the Honeymoon Suite at the Winchester because it had a turret with a 270-degree birds eye view of Albany. There were also rooftop elements that would allow for easy escape to evade capture or assassination. The Honeymoon Suite is only accessible by a narrow staircase where Capone would station his bodyguards. It might be interesting to investigate that hotel with a spirit box. Just a suggestion.

    It was indeed Bugs Moran who avoided death that day at the St. Valentine's Massacre by arriving late. Seven of his gang members were killed. Moran blamed the shooting on Al Capone, but it was said that Capone was in Florida while the massacre was going down. The execution was carried out by four men, two in police officer uniforms and two plain clothes men. As Moran approached the garage he caught sight of one of the men dressed as police and ducked into a cafe, and that's what saved his life...

    This was a fascinating shift, Dalen. I didn't know AL had opened kitchens for the poor during the great depression. That kindness may have actually saved some lives. James is a walking encyclopedia of mobster information. Regarding Whitey, he was part of the Irish mob in south Boston, while the Italian mobsters controlled the north side. Whitey was sent to a notorious West Virginia prison, where he met his demise.

    Hello Fearless Leader and Shifter Family! My husband worked with Al Capone’s daughter, Lucy many years ago. Al was tough, but he was a Godsend to so many people. He was like Robin Hood. It’s crazy to taunt Capone about the missed hit! The diseases caused dementia, effectively brain damaged. His time after jail was spent with his family. He seems to be satisfied with his afterlife. Apparently you’re not supposed to boss people around in the afterlife! 😂 Dalen, your impromptu friend, James, was very knowledgable about the mafia business and members. I think he was lonely too. You are a doll for taking time to talk to him and got some good info too! I bet the guy could write a book about this stuff. ❤ Take care of yourself Dalen. Love and light to the Shifter Family!

    So apparently people (real or otherwise lol) in cemeteries are hella friendly lol I visited my brother about an hour after we laid him to rest. I came back when everyone left to have my alone time with him. There was a lady that came over and talked to me & when she found out my brother was laid down an hour earlier she just struck up a convo with me. As she was talking she turned and pointed to a spot where her husband was but there was no one there. She said she was visiting her son. Because she was elderly I assumed her husband was in a grave and she was showing me where so I didn't say anything to alarm her that no one was there but she was like oh wait he left me oh no there he is. He was sitting on a nearby bench. I assumed waiting for her but he never looked at "us" until I waved at him to acknowledge him. When he caught my movement I expected him to be like like my grandpa & tell her come on leave that lady be. He didn't. While the lady was still talking about her son who she was visiting my other brother FaceTimed me because I didn't tell anyone where I was going I just left. He asked who that was talking so I turned my camera around. When I put it back on me he was like Nae go to your truck come here RIGHT NOW!!! I said ok. Told her bye. Waved at her husband & started walking to my truck. I thought nothing of my truck running thinking in my haze I'd forgotten to turn it off (I have a Murano and it is push to start & can be left running & I can lock my doors by pushing the button on the handle while never taking the keys out). When I got in I told my brother I was leaving now see you in a few. He said "There was no lady standing with you but we HEARD her talking clearly! That's why I said leave! She turned your truck on." Til this day I have not been back to visit my brother!!! I was really having a convo with someone that wasn't there. Now I see why her husband looked at me like that!

      Wow, that’s incredible. I totally believe you because things like that happen to me. Sadly, her husband was there for both her and their son. If your older brother hadn’t FaceTimed you, you may have never realized she was a spirit. I’ve learned to look for clues, like their clothes being dated, old fashioned speech patterns, do other people react as if they see them too. It reminds me of my grandma. She said always be kind, you might be talking to an angel. Even if you go back to see your brother, she won’t likely appear again because you know she is a spirit now. God bless you, Brenda❤

He repaired bicycles for less fortunate children. Al used to visit his brother often and stayed in the house. There are pictures of Al in the front yard with his family. To this day it is still called The Capone House. I lived there most of my life.

    Awesome session Dalen!! First I have to say I loved your convo with James.. it made me tear up. Ive seen firsthand the joy it can make to someone who really needs it. It kinda reminded me of the love & respect you show spirits...who most people ignore and brush off. No matter alive or dead all humans deserve the respect of an interaction & conversation. He really needed that human interaction and im sure that short amount of time made his day. The majority of society will act annoyed, & ignore or brush people off..and I was proud that wasn't how you reacted.
    Now about Capone!! That was awesome!! Im pretty sure Frank "The Enforcer" Nitti was there as well, since they kept saying Lieutenant. Nitti was the first cousin, bodyguard, & Lieutenant of Al Capone! Either him orJohn Torrio. Torrio grew up with Capone in a New York street gang, and was the Lieutenant for the South Side Chicago kingpin Jim Colosimo. He was the one who asked Capone to come to Chicago and take over as mob boss in Chicago, after the hit on Colosimo went through. Crazy!! I wish I was there...I have so many questions!! Ohh and it was George Clarence "Bugs" Moran who nearly missed being offed at the Saint Valentines day massacre!! Crazy that Capone is still talking about him!!

    20:11 there a LONG stretch of whistling that isn’t the spirit box and continues off and on throughout. Crazy! It also sounded like Al!

    I lived outside of Chicago for 9 years in the 70's. That guy James has such a Chicago accent. You should have given him a business card and set up another visit and had him shift with you. I heard a bit about Al when Friends an I visited Alcatraz in the 90's.

    I’ll be honest.. I am not one that’s into the old gangster scene but this was surprisingly enjoyable and enlightening. Even though he did a lot of shady stuff he also did a lot of good things as well. I hope he is at peace. Thank you for another great shift! Also, bless you for listening to the guy at the end there. Seemed like he just needed someone to hear his story. 🙏

    Dalen, this was a very good session. I learnt something new about Al Capone, the soup kichen and helping black folks. The gentleman James, is very knowledgeable about the mobsters back then. It was very gracious of you to take the time to talk to him.

    The 30s were a violent time in Chicago. My grandfather and his twin brother were 7 years old and running the streets when they saw a three car gunfight with tommy guns and gangsters on the runners of fancy cars. When the bullets quit flying, and the gangsters left, they dug the guns out of the dumpster the gangsters had thrown them in. They ran home with the guns to show mom, happy they could eat for a month on the value of just one gun. She grabbed them both by the ears and marched them down to the police station and had them turn the guns over to the police. Then went home and instilled the whipping of god on them about hero worshipping gangsters that made the devils drink. The violence was prolific and on daylight display, right out there on main street. And the anti-alcohol people were just as up in arms.

    My great-grandpa was close friends with Al Capone. There was a specific restaurant in Chicago that was Al’s favorite spot. He had a special room in the back that no one knew about unless you were in his inner circle and was taken back there by a couple of armed guards. Long story short, my great-grandpa also frequented this restaurant and after frequent run ins, he and Al hit it off one night and they became fast friends. There’s many stories about their friendship, and my great-grandpa spoke of how kind Al was to many people, but, to “be very mindful to not ever cross him because he was as ruthless as the devil.”
    Also, for those not familiar with the Chicagoland area, Cicero that James spoke of is a VERY rough place still to this day. You have to be very tough to be hanging out in that area.

    Love your sessions Dalen!❤ This session must have been awesome for you eh! You love the gangsters.
    Did you hear the word after you asked if he was in hell? He said NO! But then said “RESPECT”!
    I also wondered if you heard at least three times the words “get up”, or “get outta here”? I wonder if they were aware of the groups of people who came around. Or wanted you to leave for some reason?
    Also in the beginning asking for MaryEllen? I could hear the tone she has in the background throughout but could understand her words. If it was her.
    There were four big birds in formation flying over you then back over you about 4 times.
    The fellow ‘James’ you talked to knew a lot of history!👍 ‘The Mobster’s Graveyard’ Awesome

      Hope you feel better soon, Patty. Treat yourself gently. I had a cracked molar extracted (couldn't afford to repair it) so I know how annoying mouth pain is.
      *If your dr said to*, (since I've no clue what they did to you) remember to gently swish your mouth out with warm salt water.
