Every Friday at 10am central, the daily morning mini tour becomes “Find a Grave Friday,” in which Adam ventures into a cemetery to look for a certain grave – but doesn’t look up where it is, exactly, or what the monument looks like. Viewers look it up, and a game of “hot and cold” ensues!
From celebrities to interesting people from Chicago history, the grave of the week can be anyone – some of the graves we’ve found include Harry Caray, John Hughes, Shel Silverstein, Robert Reed, Hannah Hanley (the oldest woman on the voter rolls in 1922), and Hinky Dink Kenna. Sometimes it’s quick and easy, sometimes it’s longer than the full-length tours – but it’s always fun! Tune in on
facebook.com/mysterioschicago at 10 central to join in the fun!
HOW TO WATCH – it’s easy!
– The event will be broadcast live via Facebook Live on the Mysterious Chicago facebook page. (
http://www.facebook.com/mysteriouschicago
)
– ALL YOU HAVE TO DO is be on that page after the broadcast starts (we usually start shortly before the scheduled start time and give people a few minutes to join in), then click “play” on the video. You won’t need a code or to log in.
– If you “like” the Mysterious Chicago page you can set it to notify you when the page starts broadcasting! And if you want practice, or to make sure it works on your system, we broadcast “mini tours”� nearly every day at 10am central.
-The event is free to watch. No tickets or codes will be required. Donations are suggested either via this page, venmo (adamchicago), paypal (adam@mysteriouschicago.com) or by joining
patreon.com/adamchicago.
– If you miss it, never fear – it’ll be on the “videos” section of the facebook page for some time after the live broadcast.
If you aren’t familiar with FB live and can’t seem to get it to work, here are some trouble shooting tips:
– There is no special code or special link, and you won’t be asked for a ticket. Just be on the main Mysterious Chicago Facebook page. (not the event page or an old post, just regular old
http://facebook.com/mysteriouschicago
)
– If you are on the site and don’t see “Happening Now”� or “Mysterious Chicago is Live”� try refreshing and scrolling down a bit. Or restarting your app.
– Similarly, if you’re watching and it freezes or you lose the audio, refresh the page or restart your app.
– And make sure you’re not mistaking the date or time zone! We regularly get comments from people who are trying to watch on the wrong date or time. All times are central.
– Beware of spam and scam sites!
– Note that clicking “follow”� on the eventbrite page only means that you’re now following this company on eventbrite, and will get notices about new event postings. The button doesn’t do anything particular to the event. You don’t have to push it.
– If none of this works for you, you may have connection, device or settings issues. Consult facebook.com/help.
